Have lived in puerto plata for 8 years now, and when they created a personality to run a beach bar from top to bottom, Big Lee was the man!!! No better place to relax and feel comfortable enjoying the day or night! More

You never know who you may find at Big Lee's Beach Bar. Of course there was Big Lee the big man himself, ready to greet you, the drinks are cold, the popcorn is free, it's a great place to just chill, enjoying the sound of the ocean, a variety of music and you just never know who may show up..............

Awesome location. The large cold beers are a great deal and the view makes it a must see. The almond trees overhead provide shade and you can pick the nuts and have organic almonds. We make a special trip to go there and see Big Lee. The American music makes this a gringo gathering bar. More

What could be better than sipping a cold beer on a warm evening...the moon reflecting from the ocean...while enjoying the conversation of people from all over the world? Or how about people watching along the Malecon during the day...Puerto Plata is sure to serve up something interesting. Big Lee's is a friendly getaway...with gentle oldies music (but not too old)...

We head there at least 2 or 3 times a week. During the day, you have the best view of the beach and ocean and can watch the waves roll in. The staff are great, always helpful and cheerful. Over and above being a fantastic bar, they have access to the best Chines food I've eaten anywhere! More

During my two weeks escape from the Danish winther (i.e. two weeks of beautiful holiday in the Dominican Republic), I have enjoyed hanging out at Big Lee's beach bar a lot. The location is perfect, right be the sea - and the bar is an excellent place to go both during the day for a quiet cup of coffee or... More

If you do one thing whilst on holiday in Puerto Plata, it must be a visit to Big Lee's Beach Bar!!! Our holiday would not of been so good if we hadn't of found this bar. We escaped our Hotel in Playa Dorada most nights to frequent this little bit of awesomeness! We found out that its a lot cheaper... More
