The food is good, the view is good, the owners are friendly and at happy hour it is cheaper which is nice to save a few $$ in St. John's. Parking is a little hard to obtain after happy hour too.

The best thing about vacation is enjoying everything! My husband and I have been to St.John many times. As a matter of fact both our jobs are travel related. I will say this, the Spy Glass St. John has our number # 1 all time favorite dessert. Deep fried Key Lime Pie Cheesecake. Don't ever step foot on the Island... More

Great views over the water; sunsets. Happy hour price drinks and food from 3-6. The tacos, wings, and sliders were so good - and so reasonable - we came twice during our stay. Live music on Friday night was an added bonus. Friendly staff.

Set above the bay in Cruz Bay, this location alone is awesome for sunset but the bar is perfect for Happy Hour. We went a couple times and there was always a lively crowd, everyone talking to each other and the bartenders keeping everyone connected with the latest drinks with tastes and temptations along with your ordered drinks. We had... More

The happy hour has some pretty awesome deals. $3 for a good margarita from a generous bartender will start any afternoon off on the right note. The other drinks looked pretty good too. The tacos were tasty, and $5 buys you two with a lovely selection of fillings. Plus the options for wings are endless, and at $1 each, a... More

We sampled the wings at this fine establishment and all were unique and tasty. The view is also rather nice, and the bar tenders are fast and friendly.

Definitely get the red snapper. It comes as a whole fish with tail and head but really delicious! Drinks were great too. We also got the mussels-- those were so so, something about the sauce tasted a little bitter.

I love this place for their view of the bay and their great happy hour. My favorite drink is the Angry Robb, which is not on the menu now due to a falling out with Robb. However, you can ask them to fix it for you and will. They also have excellent chicken wings and conch fritters.

Great drinks at great prices with an even better view! We had many fun conversations with the bartenders, locals and the owners Brent and Mona.
