No alcohol Good Friday?

Post by DnD »

We will be on Tortola on Good Friday and found out they won't sell alcohol at bars or stores until 6:00 :shock: Evidently all of the BVI's follow this policy.

Was wondering, does the USVI have any similar ban on alcohol?

Yes they do but only until 4pm if my memory is correct. You may drink your own alcohol purchased before, you just can't buy it at restaurants, stores etc :)

Good Friday caught me by surprise. No alcohol on STJ until late afternoon. We survived though.

See this article from On St. John.

It's for true! Not until 4pm. It's a very quiet day in town that day. Although I didn't realize it was in the BVI as well. I always find myself at work that day :cry:
