Decent food reasonably gpriced, great steel band and a reggae band in the evening on a Sunday. Great party to be had by all but I do wish the reggae band would play more reggae! more »

This is definitely my favorite place in Antigua. The views are mesmerizing, food is always good, the people are nice, I always have a blast one the live show start. Prepare yourself to be dancing the night away!!!

Sunday evening on Shirley Heights is the well known BBQ and Steel Band evening. It really is worth a visit. Lots of people, music, food and drink! Little bit of a tourist trap, but your choice to buy trinkets etc. View is spectacular at night and in the day. If you have the time go you won't be disappointed.

Lots of food and drinks and good prices. The steel drum and reggae bands sounded great. The view from the top of the mountain was incredible.
