A trip to Jamaica wouldn’t be complete without having a Red Stripe at Floyd’s Pelican Bar in Jamaica. No matter, if you are staying in Negril, Ocho Rios, or Montego Bay, a trip to the Pelican Bar in Jamaica, is worth a day trip.

Owner Floyd Forbes dreamed about a magical bar built on stilts in the middle of the ocean. In 2001, his dream became a reality, and the Pelican Bar was open for business.

There’s always a bunch of pelicans perched on the rocky sandbar next to the bar, and that’s where it got its name “Pelican Bar.” Initially, the bar was mainly for Floyd and his fellow fisherman buddies.

However, it didn’t take long before more than just the fisherman wanted to grab a beer there. 16 years later, Floyd still fishes and serves up beer out here. It is simply the coolest bar in the world.
