Be sure to try our limited island-inspired flights! We have a varied selection of craft beers and hard seltzers with ingredients and flavors that will transport you to the Caribbean! With drinks such as our Golden Buddha, Connor Hill Stout, Hava Guava, Island Riddem, and non-alcoholic options such as our Jamaican Sorrel or our craft Pineapple Ginger Beer, the possibilities are endless.
Fresh Jamaican food will be available to all provided by Montclair’s own Caribbean Grill. Complement our drinks with a tasty jerk chicken, rice and peas, curry, or red snapper. Food will be available all day, from 12pm-10pm.
We’re proud to have the fantastic Mesha Steele performing with the well-established Platinum One Band! With their expertise in Reggae, they’re sure to get the crowd moving. Calypso and Soca will also be played.*
