Best Lunch & Bar in St. Maarten 2026 – We Are SXM Tourist Info Center

“An adventurous Caribbean dive bar where lively bartenders, nautical charm, and playful chaos make every night unforgettable — the perfect spot for sailors & pre-game meetups.”

Dinghy Dock originally started as a hangout and pub for rowdy drunken sailors but word spread about the fantastic food and the well-stocked bar and popularity grew.

Boosting the biggest craft beer selection on the island, ranging from pale lagers and pilsners to imperial stouts, there is a drink for everyone. Meanwhile, the cooks serve up casual but delicious bar food.

Multiple TVs display all the major sporting events, so you need to request your game.

You can call to make a reservation after six, but don’t expect them to answer the phone. If they do, expect obscenities and drunken sailor talk.

Enjoy (We Are SXM) bar!

Sit at the bar and hear tall tales from around the island and around the world. Or release some energy by swearing at the bartender(s), but be prepared for the response, as their staff is trained.

Check out Dinghy Dock’s Facebook page for specials and happy hours they occasionally offer, such as “Taco Tuesday”, “Steak Night”, or “Mussels Special”.

Some everyday recommendations:

    • Amazing Draft Beer specials
    • Loaded nachos are great to share!
    • The Burgers are out of this world
    • Tacos that you can fill with any topping

 

Beers and food guarantee a good time at Dinghy Dock Bar!

Dinghy Dock is one of the most animal-friendly bars around, with their resident cats and dogs. So bring the entire family, come by land, or pull your dinghy right up to the dock.

Reservations are not accepted. Dinghy Dock follows the old-fashioned way of first-come, first-served, and tables can be shared amongst us. Cheers! (Groups larger than 8 can inform us.)
