The Newest Bar in Bimini

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - March 23rd, 2016

The newest Bar in Bimini has officially opened. And it’s already one of the island’s best.

It’s called Sharkies Bar, and it’s the newest addition to the Bimini Big Game Club Resort and Marina.

The beach-bar-style bar is set right on the edge of the water, with great views of the water in North Bimini and the resort’s nearby shark cages.

It’s a great place for a happy hour cocktail or for some seriously good ribs. (Go for the two-for-one rum punch)

Tell the bartender, Lavan, that CJ sent you.
