Explore Bridgetown The best way to explore Bridgetown is to meander down its high streets and back alleys. The nearly 400 years of history is very apparent and you never know what you may find!

Call (246) 427-4509 or 241-1554. watson_karl@yahoo.com Eat Like a Local There are plenty of cool local places to grab a bite on a Bridgetown shopping expedition: Hunter’s Bar on Tudor Street serves their famous pudding and souse and Bajan cutters with fish and ham and cheese; Mustor’s on McGregor Street sells hot lunches of delicious local specialties like macaroni pie, breadfruit cou cou with stewed pork chops, and our national dish, flying fish and cou cou. At Tim’s on Broad Street be sure to sample the barbeque pig tails and wash it down with an ice cold Banks beer or, for something different try mauby, a bitter-sweet local drink made from the bark of a tree.
