How 'bout the Banana Deck or the inside bar at the Lime Inn? I remember watching football at both places in between lime-n-coconuts...

Any place to watch the Eagles on St. Thomas on Nov. 11th? Or should we head over to STJ? Looking for some other Eagle Fans.

Both are closed for our dates, unfortunately.

Thanks for all your help, guys! I'm sure we'll figure something out.

If you do not want to be heading back driving from Skinny's would you take a ferry?
'cause right in Redhook the Caribbean Saloon does all the games and I know they used to be big Pats fans....at least in 2004 and 2005..........
Quiet Mon is good too, though they do not have the sound up.......what about Tamarind Inn........they used to have the big screen I watched alot of college games there.......

Thanks Design....for us, being mostly in St. Thomas it will be the Carribean Saloon for the Eagles!

Eagles are playing Washington Redskins...anybody else going to be there?

banana deck

Post by StJohnCaptain »

I watched the first super bowl the patriots won at banana deck. Big tv.

It was just fine.

Beach Bar will be very busy.

Last week I went to Skinny Legs to see the pats whip buffalo. Fun.

You should call these places to see who is planning to show what game.

Skinny Legs shows 4 games at a time, including the Pats always. Beach Bar has 1 or 2 games. Banana Deck has 1. Woody's has 1. Aqua Bistro in Coral Bay will have 1 or 2. Give them a telephone call.

Hi,

Go Pats! Yayyyy Red Sox!

I didn't try to search, but I think I remember a thread that the Fishtrap had some new TVs - I think it was posted by Eric of STJ.

We've caught Monday night at the Beach bar (no sound), but still watchiing it snow in Denver while we're sipping bushwackers was quite fun. Also caught it on "fuzzy" TV at the villa.

Unfortunately, if the Pat's are playing a Sunday afternoon game, there's no guarantee they'll be carried on St. John.

Have fun,
janet

Ok, I found the post from Eric; it was posted Aug- 2006 -

"
We get alot of guests wanting to know where to go to watch football and we've got a great new spot.

The Fishtrap bar area has 3 new tvs and satellite. Lots of room and AIR CONDITIONING. And they have a new revised menu. I think someone said they would have 2 kinds of beer on tap, but I don't remember seeing any yet...soon come maybe?

Boo is working there several nights a week including Sunday, an added bonus for those long time repeat visitors (& locals) who keep bugging the beach bar staff with "Where's Boo?"....she worked there for years.

The other main spots for football in Cruz Bay are Quiet Mon and Banana Deck which have their pluses & minuses. Fishtrap seems to have hit all the bases for me. "

Hi, I took the ferry over to Red Hook and went to a place called the "Caribbean Saloon" (I think?) it was on the second floor right by the ferry terminal. There was a lot of big screens so they probably show most game, I was there during the playoff last January, so the only game on at the time was the Eagles/Saints. If you staying at Gallows it's only a round-trip ferry ride and it was a nice sports bar.
