Wednesday after 9 PM is ladies' night at Duffy's. Ladies drink from the well and scrape the bottom shelf for free. But don't worry, you won't be the only bottom-feeders here. We got caught in what looked like a raging Danish orgy. That said, when they turn the tables into a dance floor, that's when stuff gets fun. This open-air shack is quite the place to party, and I'd capitalize on those free drinks because clearly this is the place to throw down. They also have reasonably-priced cocktails like the volcano, which comes ablaze in Bacardi'ed glory. Other drinks come with fun souvenir cups, which you get to keep. So when in St Thomas, give your love to Duffy's or send mine if you have none to give. read more

As we pulled up, I was pretty sure that this tiki bar in a strip mall parking lot was a bad idea. After settling in with a frosty tropical drink, everything seemed a little better. Somewhere along the line, watching my friend suck down 32 oz. of liquor from a plastic dinosaur and singing along at the top of our lungs when "Born to Run" came on, it occurred to me that this place is AWESOME. read more

Cheap drinks. island vibes. american hip hop. Yeah, I can get drunk here. Thank goodness for our driver Corey! I wouldn't go here for the food, but the bar is where it's at. This is the one of the best places on our side of the island to dance. Our younger siblings always make a go at mingling with the ladies, with moderate success. That may be the best part of my night. As for the mixed drinks and shooters -I'd avoid them. If it's ladies night, just be happy it's free and drink it I guess. Who needs standards on ladies night? read more

Atmosphere is good! But when I asked the bartender what was fresh he said, look lady you are ordering seafood at a bar that is in a parking lot! Well the sea is just steps away. read more

Go for the drinks. Stay for more drinks. Duffy's is quite literally a shack in a parking lot but it's tons of fun. All the drinks, of which there are many and comically named, come in souvenir glasses so it's fairly toursit-y. But they'll get you drunk, which is really the point is it not? Challenge: personal Shark Bowls. The food is nothing special but it's not bad either. Duffy's is really fun at night when it turns into a parking lot dance party but watch where you step. I cut my foot on a piece of glass and when I asked the bartender for a band aid he insisted on pouring rum over my foot first. See? Rum really does fix everything. read more

Did the fish tacos AND jerk chicken tacos - and the 4 of us really enjoyed our dinner. The parking lot ambiance and ice cold Presidentes hit the spot. read more

Duffy's Love Shack - Along the road into Red Hook. - Music Venues Near Me - St. Thomas, Virgin Islands

Decided to head into Red Hook at the recommendation of a local. I wasn't impressed when we first arrived as it took about 15 minutes for someone to acknowledge us and get seated. It wasn't that they were busy...they did get busy and then I found out why it was recommended. We got the conch fritters, popcorn chicken, mahi tacos and coconut shrimp. All were very good and decent portions read more

Duffys love shack was a great first restaurant to go to when you get on the island. 10/10 would recommend. They have special cups for almost drink that they have the food was great and the service was amazing and super friendly. read more

If I could give no star I would . I had some friends visiting the states that came to enjoy there birthday. Yesterday 4/5/2021 they went to go and enjoy some cocktails while in the Redhook area. I am so disgusted by the service they have received. They where a black couple which should not be surprised living in predominantly black island . The servers didn't want to acknowledge them to place their order they where rude and extremely racist that they had to leave . It's sad that people have to come here and worry about being profiled cause they are BLACK . It is very unacceptable that the staff at Duffy's is racist and they will say no but I have encountered this and I no longer patronize there of send anyone to this location because of this ongoing behavior. Duffy's Staff if you don't want to have black customers this isn't the island . Racism is still a issue and it's sad . I wish my friends didn't have to encounter this but I'm happy they did to make others aware of environment at Duffy's. I will continue to support my local restaurant and bars cause one thing you know you wouldn't have to deal with is being uncomfortable when you come on vacation. Support your local restaurants and bars . read more

Awesome! Lobster night was amazing and the staff is ALWAYS friendly!!! We will be back.

This bar has awesome food and drinks. Great service also. The shark tank is also a fun drink to try

I don't know how anyone can say anything bad about this place. We go there at least once every time we're in the VI's (which we'll be again next week). If you go with a local, beware...they'll run into several people from their high school and be annoyed. It is a bit of a tourist trap, but I prefer to go there for lunch during the day. The drinks are amazing. We have uncountable Duffys glasses at home that tell a story every time we bring them out. The food is actually really good and the service is awesome. Not sure if Dave is still there, although I suppose I'll find out soon. But whoever you get will be awesome. Yes, it's small but there's indoor and outdoor seating. And yes it's a tourist trap but some place you have to visit when in the VI's. read more

It's a bar and dance spot in a parking lot. A dive bar with dancing, fun music (the bartender played every request), and cheap drinks!! The only downside is that the locals are milling about and watching--kind of creepy, just sayin', but otherwise totally fun if you are with a big group! read more

Always a great time. Live music was great...Kenny Floyd! He is very talented! Food and drinks were excellent.

Had a Mahi sammy- it was good- the coconut shrimp was a tad bland - but OK- nice atmosphere and service was good.

We stopped in for lunch at Duffy's between arriving on the Red Hook ferry from BVI and catching a cab to fly out of STT. It was walkable from the ferry (just across the road) and had pretty good Yelp reviews! We had a fun and sassy waitress (it was her birthday that day as well, not sure if it was her birthday every time she waited on tourists, but I'm tending towards believing in honesty here). Interesting tiki hut theme that I'll always be a fan of, and Duffy's had that down- the 'shack' brand. And that is what their prices are reflective of more than quality - their "Love Shack" brand. Tee-shirts, hats, underwear, and specialty drink menu complete with specific cups made to go with the name of the drink they held. Don't get me wrong - the food and service was good, but, it is a hut in the parking lot of a strip mall. The little thing that made me smile? The white painted foot prints walking you out of the main dining/bar room to the bathroom. Cute and practical. read more

This is not the place to go if you're wanting an intimate conversation as the music is loud! This is a great place to grab a rum filled drink and typical bar food. Parking is scarce and sometimes the service is scarcer but that's customary for "island livin". Leave your propensity for being in a hurry on the mainland and chill. I ordered the jerk chicken nachos which were good. Their specialty drink 'Lime in Dee Coconut' was way too much lime and not enough coconut for me. My second drink, 'Bushwacker' was much better. Enjoy! read more

The temporary tattoo on my inner thigh and collection of strange animal mugs reminds me of my crazy night at Duffy's Love Shack in which my boyfriend caught on fire. Duffy's Love Shack is crazy. We were told to go to Duffy's, get one drink, and leave. We didn't listen and it turned into one hell of a fun night. My favorite drink was the Bushwacker. We tried the pu-pu platters and I think they were overpriced for what you get. Our group of seven housed two of them in about five minutes. Watch out for the flaming center, ours got knocked down, table caught on fire, boyfriend caught on fire, but a server saved the day buy pouring beer on the flames! Try the shark tank, volcano, and all of the other crazy drinks. This place is a good time! read more

A few factoids that you should know prior coming to Duffy's (as you'll likely hear how awesome it is five thousand times before you go)... * It is in the middle of a parking lot * You will spend a TON of money on drinks here * You will feel like a lame tourist (and you are) but will leave with some sort of memento post-drink * You will likely only see very drunk old people dancing if you come here before 10:30pm Duffy's is what it is...A tourist trap. But it's fun enough and we gained some super duper entertaining stories from our visit here (mostly related to the old people dancing/falling down/etc). The food was decent as well (fantastic Caribbean spiny lobster but that's good anywhere). read more

In the middle of a messy parking lot, you will find the "famed" love shack. The service and food were sub parr...took a long time to get our food...maybe because of the time of year? Security guard was an a$$hat with an attitude and bar was tight with sticky tables and chairs. Two of our po arty ln eft before we were served. The four of us that stayed got sick that night. Ick read more

So there's not much at first glance (it's literally a green shack in the middle of a parking lot) but the people and the atmosphere make it a St Thomas must-do. The drinks are fun and reasonably priced. The food is pretty good for a dive bar, too. The jerk chicken is absolutely delicious and you can get the chicken on top of a loaded plate of nachos. Would definitely recommend for a happy hour hangout. read more

I had a lot of fun at Duffy's. We were told specifically by a local not to come here....and then specifically by someone else to come here. So we went, it's in Redhook so there are tons of places to go after dinner or when the dancing gets too rowdy. Definitely the most touristy restaurant we went to. The waitress was really nice and said "Yay" a lot. I was a huge fan of the burgers, one with pineapple, the other with guac and cheese. The lobster roll is hideous though......it's chopped up and could have been any kind of fish- none of us finished it. Go for the dancing and burgers....... read more

Duffy's Love Shack - Music Venues Near Me - St. Thomas, Virgin Islands

We had dinner at Duffy's Love Shack while on vacation in St. Thomas based on the hotel's recommendation. What a fun place with great food. The burgers were delicious as was the southwest chicken sandwich and the guacamole. The drinks were good too and served in fun souvenir mugs to take home. It's all open air and the tables were very well spaced. The wait staff all had face coverings the entire time and you could only have your mask down when you were at your table. Next time we are in St Thomas we will definitely be back. read more

Literally someone built a tiki bar in a parking lot. Very good drinks in funky ceramic mugs or standard cup. Quality food made in a tiny kitchen. Service was fun. Great music play list. They put tables in the parking lot later to turn into dance club with live music. Fun place. Parking is slim pickings. read more

Best parking lot bar I have been to :-) Drinks were tasty, music was OK. But given the fact that you dont have many other options in St. Thomas this place was pretty nice. read more

Best parking lot bar I have ever been to! Seriously, it is a 'must', to stop here at least a few times when you are in St Thomas. It is in downtown Red Hook, and draws a local crowd. Good bar food, lots of funky drinks, VERY casual--everyone is there to have a good time. Make friends with the staff as they have lots of tips on where to go, what to do, what to avoid. read more

You haven't had this much fun in a parking lot for a very long time. read more

It's a laid back place. It is good to have a few drinks and mingle with the locals. The locals are friendly and cool. The food is okay, the drinks are a little pricey, but good and strong. The waitress that came in the evening was awesome. read more

Great server ask for Antonia try the jerk nachos with a shark tank.. While the bar is in the middle of the parking lot it's a great time in the shack.. Can't wait to go back read more

Duffy's Love Shack - Shark Tank 6 rums 64oz only 22 bucks - Music Venues Near Me - St. Thomas, Virgin Islands

Fun over the top tiki bar. There tiki menu is full of unique and classic cocktails and shots. Even a few group drinks. Every day they have some kind of happy hour and special event. Almost every drink can be ordered in a custom tiki glass that you can keep or a regular size cup. Got to try a Bushwhacker, Jaws, and the Gods R Crazy shot. The Bushwhacker was like a milkshake and was better than I expected. Jaws is a bit of a melon frozen drink which wasn't my favorite ever. I was hoping for a little more flavor going on. The Crazy shots were nice and sweet like advertised. As it got later they turned on the party lights and even had misters and a bubble machine going. Totally unexpected and crazy. read more

This was a fun dive bar/restaurant. The food was good. The highlight is the drinks in the fun cups! We also purchased some shirts, they have some very cool designs. The staff was friendly and gave great recommendations. read more

Duffy's Love Shack is a fun tiki bar and restaurant that has a huge selection of island cuisine and tropical mixed drinks! Tiki torches and palm trees line the outdoor patio and a giant, animated shark inhabits the indoor/bar area making Duffy's a fun and tropical environment! They have any extensive menu (everything from tacos to burgers or wings) that is sure to please even the most diverse platters. Also, you can't miss out on the drink menu, it's absolutely incredible! Every fun and fruity drink comes with the option to upgrade to a souvenir cup which range from parrots to sharks and coconuts! As well, we had excellent service both the nights we went! The management and servers are carefree and really there to help you, whether it's selecting a drink or recommending a dish, they are there with a smile. Jose was our server and he did an excellent job and was very attentive and helpful when it came to selecting drinks, meals, and tshirts for our family of five! He radiated positivity and made us feel very welcome! My only complaint would be that there are no free refills (which is typical of areas outside of the United States) Other than that my experience at Duffy's was excellent from top to bottom and I would definitely recommend it for anyone who is seeking a fun and local place in the downtown district of Redhook! read more

Great place for some fun & food!! Fish Tacos & Burger was excellent!! Atmosphere is Rockin!!! The best & most reasonably priced meal we had all week!! read more

I'm inclined to say that it's worth visiting, just for the spectacle. We headed here on ladies' night, Wednesday, where girls drink free. The result, as you can imagine, is a gaggle of drunk tourists and college girls encircled by dozens of very sketchy, leering, likely drug dealers. On the plus side, our group managed to get very drunk, do some dancing, and make some new friends. One of us ended up with a Duffy's Love Shack temp tattoo on her nipple. Enough said? read more

Really fun, over-the-top Tiki bar. Good food. We had one of the appetizer platters and really liked it. I had a good jerk chicken sandwich. Kyra (our waitress) wisely convinced us to order a Shark Tank. It was a delicious (and giant!) cocktail. We even got to keep the fish bowl and long straws. read more

Like the man said... Best parking lot bar in the world. The food is average to good. The service could be better but isn't bad. Bottom line is this is a fun place! read more

Awesome atmosphere and good service! Great happy hour! Ordered the chicken teriyaki tacos they were delicious. read more

Duffy's Love Shack - Music Venues Near Me - St. Thomas, Virgin Islands

Duffy's was a solid four stars four their dinner food and drink concoctions. The sandwiches are all pretty good and their waitstaff, friendly and attentive. Two stars for their post-dinner hour... the crowd and service becomes hit or miss. From 11pm-2am, my party and I (5 people total) were only able to get two rounds of drinks because the bartender was extremely drunk, could barely focus, took people out of order, and spilled half the drinks he made, to have to start people's orders over again. Average set at three stars. read more

Fun fun fun fun!! Great music!! We were there for happy hour, drinks yummy & so is the food read more

Wednesday night's are Lobster Nights at Duffy's Love Shack. A juicy Caribbean lobster comes with a baked potato and various melted butters and sour cream. Reasonably priced - and easily accessible surroundings. The 'regulars' know to get there about 7, when tables are moved outside into the parking lot - to dine under the stars. Music is loud - but no one seems to care. read more
