Barbados Port Douglas, Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina’s quintessential waterfront restaurant and cocktail bar, is thrilled to announce an exciting development that will delight both locals and visitors alike.
With stunning panoramic views from the Dickson Inlet to the lush World Heritage Daintree Rainforest, Barbados Port Douglas is set to make a splash this summer in Tropical North Queensland by bringing back their much-loved 'Local's Hour' from 3.00pm to 4.00pm, Wednesday to Sunday, while also extending its trading hours.
Wendy McWilliam, co-founder of Barbados Port Douglas, is excited to announce the latest enhancements, saying, "We are thrilled to extend our trading hours and bring back Local's Hour. As one of the only venues in Port Douglas offering food and drinks from 12pm into the evening, we’re proud to bridge the gap between traditional lunch and dinner service."
These exciting developments are designed to cater to the needs of locals and tourists, providing them with a unique and uninterrupted dining experience. This thoughtful expansion of services ensures that Barbados is the go-to destination, eliminating the need to search for a place to dine in the late afternoon after a day of lounging by the pool or snorkelling the reef. At Barbados, you’re covered!
At the heart of Barbados is the venue’s all-day dining menu, a culinary journey that artfully blends the flavours of the region with the distinct Japanese influence of Head Chef, Takuma. Guests can indulge in fresh local produce while enjoying the magic of Barbados' signature setting and its distinctive beach club vibe.
The new 'Local's Hour' menu, available from 3pm to 4pm, Wednesday to Sunday, offers a variety of specials designed to be enjoyed in comfort on a daybed, lounge or rocking chair all with waterfront views. From fresh oysters paired with Prosecco to a delightful selection of refreshing cocktails, popular beers and delicious pours, Barbados caters to every palate.
Barbados Port Douglas is more than just a restaurant and cocktail bar, it's an experience where sophisticated style meets natural beauty. A sanctuary for food connoisseurs, cocktail aficionados, rum enthusiasts and sunset admirers, Barbados offers an unparalleled casual dining experience coupled with signature cocktails and a wide selection of unique spirits, including an impressive collection of over 80 rums sourced from around the world.
Distinctive in its relaxed atmosphere, Barbados Port Douglas embraces a ‘barefoot-luxury’ vibe. In the words of Wendy McWilliam, "A shirt on your back, something on your feet and a smile on your face is all you need. Plus we’ve recently opened up our booking system to allow spontaneity, making it even more exciting that we can offer more seats to our walk-in guests, who are always very welcome.”
With extended trading and the return of Local's Hour, it's time to indulge in an experience that transcends traditional dining. Barbados Port Douglas is set to be the ultimate destination this summer, where the best of local and international influences merge into a unique waterfront dining experience.
