An underground bar once occupied the space, and the pressed-tin ceiling
and black-and-red checked floor combined with the squint-to-read-this
lighting creates something of a clubby, speakeasy vibe. It’s a fun
place to linger, and the menu complements the casual mood. Printed in a
typewriter font, it’s laden with comforting, down-home dishes—fried
chicken, fish-and-chips, black-eyed peas, and collard greens—which make
you think that eating in Barbados might not be so different from eating
in, say, Birmingham.
