Boozie's Restaurants
Grilled seafood and island plates where locals and visitors share the same tables
Why Go
Some restaurants chase trends; Boozie's just feeds the island. With a toes-in-the-sand spot on Frigate Bay's famous Strip and an in-town outpost on Princes Street in Basseterre, this homegrown St. Kitts name has become shorthand for honest Caribbean cooking, cold drinks, and a sea breeze that does half the work of the ambiance.
The Experience
At Boozies at the Beach, you're dining open-air on The Strip — the lively row of bars and grills along Frigate Bay's southern shore — with indoor and outdoor seating and the Caribbean Sea a few steps away. Days are laid-back beach-bar mode; evenings pick up energy as the whole Strip comes alive with music and locals winding down. The Basseterre location, Boozies On The Town, trades sand for street-side bustle near the capital's shops and ferry traffic, making it an easy lunch stop on a town day. Regulars rate the beach spot as one of the nicest places on The Strip — casual, friendly, and unpretentious.
What to Try
Fresh-caught seafood is the move — grilled fish and Caribbean-style seafood plates served with traditional island sides like rice and peas, provisions, and salad. Hearty local plated meals rotate with the catch and the day, and there's reliable casual fare (burgers and grilled items) if you're eating straight off the beach. Pair whatever you order with a cold local beer or a rum punch and let the sunset do the rest.
Insider Tip
Time your visit for late afternoon at the Frigate Bay location: you get beach time, sunset over the water, and a front-row seat as The Strip transitions into its evening buzz — without fighting for a table. If you're island-hopping from Nevis, the water taxi and ferry connections make Boozie's an easy first or last meal on the St. Kitts side.
