Foxy's Tamarind Bar in Great Harbour is the most famous bar in Jost Van Dyke and one of the most celebrated in the entire Caribbean. The proprietor, Philicianno "Foxy" Callwood, is a living legend — he plays guitar, writes calypso lyrics about his guests on the spot, and has been receiving visitors here since 1968. The walls are covered in business cards, pennants, and trinkets left by decades of passing sailors.
The food is good by island standards — fresh fish, lobster when available, the usual rum-based drinks. But people come for the atmosphere and for Foxy himself. If you visit on a regular day rather than a New Year's Eve, you may well get a personal performance. He is not always there, but the bar runs fine without him.
