My girlfriend and I took a trip to St. Thomas a week ago. We went to Duffy's Love Shack because we heard good things about it. When we got there we were highly disappointed. The people that work there and the so called "locals were very rude. The food wasn't bad and the drinks we had were ok. It is definitely a tourist trap. I recommend going to a different "local bar then this place. Don't waste your time here. read more

And it is a shack, but hey, it's in the NAME people! The bartenders are awesome, and know how to talk! Kinky souvenir drink cups of all kinds, rockin' music and good times for sure! The husband had a burger, which was the most excellent burger we had seen in a loooong time. I had the pulled pork 7 layer dip, and some kind of colorful drink that was the best I had our whole trip. Honestly, I think anything you get here would be great. My kind of dive. read more

We found Duffy's Love Shack overlooking the main road through Red Hook. Most of the places we visited in Red Hook were right on the water, but Duffy's is across the street but up high. Is seems they attract the crowds after dark, when darkness seems to provide walls around you. Although we sat inside here, after dark they set up most of the tables outside on the pavement of the parking lot. The music covers up the street sounds from below. We had a great time here -- it had a good feel, and happy hour beers are very low priced. Duffy's could use a restroom upgrade, or else I'd have given it 5 stars. read more

See all

Duffy's does not handle their food properly.. For the last 12 hours I have been violently puking because of something I ate at this establishment. The staff was very rude. Not something you expect when you're spending hundreds of dollars for food and drinks. Also, their bathroom is disgusting. They have a shared bathroom, which isn't the problem.. The problem is that there is piss all over the floor and toilet. Skip this place and head over to The Tap & Still across the street. Update: Nearing 36 hours later and I still feel like shit.. I've been able to keep down 3 ritz crackers.. Seriously people.. Don't even risk eating at this place! read more

We've been to St. Thomas 3 times and this little hidden parking lot gem is still our favorite and we just keep coming back. They have the absolute best drinks and food menu, and very affordable prices. Entrees are 12-14 dollars (not seafood) and they are HUGE! Fun island drinks to choose from and they come in cool unique souviner glasses like little coconuts and sharks. They serve homemade coleslaw with entrees and it is amazing. Our server this past week was so friendly and polite, fast service and excellent food, live music, plus a great price, hard not to fall in LOVE at this little love shack. read more

HORRIBLE. The services, the food, the drinks! Waste of time and money. Waited over a hour and 20 menus to place a order. The food was disgusting. The rum punch was not made correctly. The food looked like it was made the day before, it was almost cold. I would give this place a zero rating. We even waited about 30 mins just to get our bill to pay and leave. DONOT RECOMMEND. read more

Fun little bar in Red Hook. Great drink menu and really good food. We had the conch fritters and then jerk chicken tacos. Friendly staff. Made for an entertaining casual night out. read more

Food you can trust, great server, well mixed drinks, happy hour on food and drinks from 3-7 (at least on Monday). Giant nacho topped with tons of extras was great. Most seating is outside, keep an Eye on the weather unless you are part of the limited seating inside. My wife and I had burgers (picked first 2 burgers on the menu as we couldn't decide), coconut shrimp, nachos, guacamole. I saw several other meals and all looked quite appealing. read more

Terrible service and the food wasn't good. The bartender was especially rude and it took us 20 minutes to get a simple beverage. The burger was average at best but not worth it. SOOOOO MANY BETTER PLACES IN RED HOOK FOR FOOD read more

This restaurant/bar to me is one of best kept secrets on St. Thomas. Once you arrive in the Red Hook area you can see where the real place to visit it is while on St. Thomas. I've been coming here at least once a year for the last 6 years do to my work and this is my first review. Estaban who has welcomed me like family has been here longer then I have been coming. Mike, Andy, Bryce, and Grace are a staple and provide a great family atmosphere, don't get me wrong a single can have a hell of a time here also. Before Covid it was a great place to dance after enjoying a great meal. With covid being what it is current 4/2021 it's hard to find a great place where you will constantly be entertained by such a focused staff. I can tell you the Lobster, King crab, and Cowboy Steak night will hit the spot while you are on vacation. Again if you are looking for a great place on St. Thomas, take my word come experience and write your own review. read more

Awful customer service. We sat down at a table and waited 20 minutes and didn't have one server come wait on us. No one ever acknowledged us. Finally got up and left. Don't waste your time. read more

This place is a must visit if you come to St. Thomas! Best drinks, absolutely best happy hour, and the food is amazing! The wasabi ahi tuna salad is in the ranks with a five star restaurant. Burgers are amazing! Don't let the fact that it is in a parking lot sway you away. We are visiting from PA and so glad someone local told us about it! Oh yes, there is dancing! This is a FUN place, stick -in-the muds, loosen up and enjoy! read more

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

We were told that we had to stop by Duffy's during our trip, and I'm glad that we did. Their drink menu is full of creative and fun drinks - my boyfriend ordered a 50oz Volcano, that came equipped with a floating boat and shark. A handful of the smaller drinks also come in cool shooters or cups that you can take with you. Food is pretty good as well. We were also surprised by the crowd that showed up - the small bar and surrounding parking lot were packed by about 10pm. Great place to drink and dance with friends! read more

Duffy's Love Shack is the best parking lot bar I've ever been to...and the only parking lot bar I've ever been to. Seriously though, this place is so chill. How could it not be, it's in the middle of a parking lot in the Caribbean? read more

The best place hands down if you like to shake it on the dance floor! Buy one drink get one free when we were there. I am having withdrawals thinking about it! You must Go! read more

This place is crazy hilarious parking lot bar. It lost a star because of the music and the crazy amounts of 18 years drunkards. Order a fun drink, you keep the cup! Totally worth it. A must see on your trip! If you like people watching, drinking fun drinks and top 40 white girl wasted bar music this is the place for you! read more

Duffy's Love Shack - Put de rum in the coconut and drink it all up! - Music Venues Near Me - St. Thomas, Virgin Islands

This is a must stop in st Thomas (red hook area, east side of island). It is a typical beach bar, great food, great drinks and just plain old fun. read more

literally... it's a shack in the middle of the parking lot! it's great fun though... enough space to dance and drink we went on a wednesday because it's free well drinks for girls! weeeeeee! i had a blast in st. thomas.. i miss it already read more

Before my wife and I went on our 2nd trip to STT, I did some research and found this place on Red Hook that was really close to our hotel. Once we got settled in, we had taken a $1.00 cab ride to Red Hook, got off the bus, and there it was....just like in the pictures. Its a nice opened air bar/restaurant with friendly people. As soon as we sat down a local that was working down the street started talking to us. It turns out he was from the states and we talked for about an hour. That's when we learned what the term "Roadies" was. We started off with a few of those "specialty" drinks. I mean you are pretty much paying for the glass. The drinks are good but expensive. I think they were like $8-10.00 each. We had one each and I hate to say it but now, we are using those glasses as ashtrays outside our apartment. We did eat some food and it was better than I thought it would be. Before we left that night I made it a true tourist stop because I even got a shirt. This bar gets tons of people in and out because it is right across the marina and there are a few bars over there as well. I stopped by another night to eat lunch and our waitress asked us if we were staying for the party tonight. We didn't know anything about it but I think they call it the Full-Moon Party. My profile picture is from Duff's party and this was one of the drinks we had. It was a fish bowl filled with liquor. I think we had 2-3 of them. During the party they opened up a dace floor and had a DJ. Once it got to about 12-1am...this place was getting crazy. People from all over getting waisted and crazy. I think we sat there on the outside picnic tables for hours watching all the people. It was really fun. I have a feeling that when we go back we will end up here and have another great time. We will be back Love Shack.... MZ read more

The drinks and atmosphere were awesome! They had a live band (one guy) playing the night that I went and he was pretty good. I definitely enjoyed the vibe. The only knock is the food. It was decent, but not the best I've had. Skip the coconut shrimp. They're teeny tiny and not worth the price. read more

Yes, it IS the best parking lot bar in the universe! Duffy's Love Shack is awesome. We were on St. Thomas for 5 days and ended up at DLS 3 nights and once for lunch. Food-wise the burgers are great. The tacos were only fair to good. Because it's a bar we were there to drink not eat so we never really got around to trying anything else on the menu. The specialty drinks were great if you like yummy fruity drinks, but if you are like me (more of a whiskey girl) they have a full bar and the bartenders have a nice pour, if ya know what I mean. What makes Duffy's so great are the people. The bartenders are very friendly and know what they're doing. Even when it's packed they know how to get to everyone in a timely fashion. From my experience there, it seems the patrons are a nice mix of tourist and locals which makes for some interesting conversations if you're so inclined. I'd give this place more stars if I could! read more

Took a trip last year to St. Thomas during spring break with friends and a guest of my hotel from St. Thomas recommended Duffy's to us. It's located on the east end of St. Thomas. The food is great! The people there was really cool and the bar is awesome. You can't go wrong with the drinks menu! The drinks we ordered are served in theme glasses that you can keep. The place is literally located on the side of a parking lot in the middle of a small shopping center. Its a great local and casual place to hang out with your friends! Its a great place for those who plan on taking a vacation to the island. read more

fun place. sat outside. food is bar food. funny takes on diff drinks. order the shark tank and watch shark sing is a must do!!!

Fun times were had here but the music could be better (in my opinion). I love the theme (tiki bar). The bartenders were very friendly. We came here twice during our stay. The drinks are not weak but they're cheap. A +++ read more

I went to Duffys with my parents and they enjoyed it so much that they are making me write this yelp review (they are bad at technology). That being said, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed the drinks and delicious food. Highly recommend the guacamole and grilled fish love tacos. We came to Duffys after our flight home to New Jersey was canceled because of "engine problems." It was a long day at the airport to say the least and we all needed a drink. Anyway, our server Bryce was wonderful! He was attentive, helpful, and just an all around good guy :) read more

Don't go for food cause it's not good at all, I definitely wouldn't eat here again. I'm only give 2 stars cause their drinks are pretty cool and it is a fun place to hangout at late in the evening. read more

So the outdoor seating is in a parking lot, and the tables and chairs are sticky, but if you can get past that and are willing to pay extra for the commemorative tiki glass, you'll have a nice time and a nice keepsake. read more

I can't say anything about the food at this place. I simply remember walking into Duffy's during a Midnight "HOUR of POWER" for 2 for 1 drinks and getting pretty sauced with a group of people....We eventually closed the place down and took the last ferry back to St John (where we were staying) and the water taxi drivers were the ones closing down the place with us...classic. read more

Bartenders were fun, drinks were good, fish tacos were Excellent, and I loved watching the older couple who were already trashed when they saddled up take it to level 10. Order the volcano and wait for it...wait for it...Sirens, lights, and music worthy of a presidential announcement. Well thats what the couple next to us did. Wed is Ladies night and after 8 I think its free well drinks. It was fun and the 1 question is Why not if you down there? read more

Location and music was good but the food was bland, and nothing special. Recommend other places nearby

Ahhh, the memories. I visited Duffy's back in '98 on my first visit to the US VI. Yeah, it's touristy. Yeah, it's cheesy. Yeah, it's as small as n office cubile, but you've got the whole parking lot for the over flow crow. Rhe drinks are really, really good. Especially Lime in the Coconut. The area it's located in, Red Hook, can be a bit shady. So ladies be careful, watch your drinks and just use common sense. Best of all - have a great time.... read more

I appreciate this hole in the wall concept because they have lots of creative drinks (I got the Godzilla drink) but was really annoyed by the locals hanging out that kept bothering our group of 15+ that was just trying to have a good time. Probably wouldn't return. read more

Duffy's is a pretty cool dive bar in a parking lot in Red Hook. The place feels like.a tourist trap honestly. But the point is to have a good time which this place does a great job delivering. The drinks are more memorable than the food...but perhaps I had my priorities wrong. I did have the wasabi tuna salad which was pretty good. According to everyone this is the place to be on Wednesday night bc its ladies.night! read more

It's five stars for being what it is trying to be. They maximize a small outdoor space to create the best bar scene with dj's and dancing in Red Hook. Go to check out the sights and to have a couple reasonably priced drinks. It's a late night staging area for XO and the nearby dollar taco stand :) read more

Great place to get drunk with your friends. Ladies night on Wednesday means FREE drinks all night. Just make sure you tip your bartender!! Great music as well. I haven't been for food but I hear it's good definitely have to try it before I leave. read more

Fun place to hang out! Music is great, cheerful bartenders and the shark on the wall talks??

Ladies night it gets crowded! They play pretty good music overall . Bartenders are nice and service is pretty prompt . A cool little outdoor bar to chill and have some drinks . The only place I'll ever get 2 for $5 Coronas, I know it won't happen back home in California read more

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

The love shack is positioned on the edge of a strip mall parking lot. Its packed with drunk girls and guys "gettin low" and hammered. Either they are spring breakers or all the Yachting crews that are there for the season. The drinks are good, the music is fun, but this place is WAY too packed for me. My drunk college days are long gone. read more
