“A Fun Place To Be”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 11, 2013

Ocelot is fun! The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff is great and the owner is very welcoming. It is conveniently located, right off the main square. There is a great happy hour every day that is worth stopping in to start your evening. They have a "Pub Quiz" every Sunday night that you can feel free to pop in and... More

“Nice Bar”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 30, 2013

Ocelot is a nice bar with a great happy hour. After happy hour try the others because if you plan to stay for dinner you better like hamburgers or chicken wings. The menu is pretty much that limited. Servicec is good.

“OK Bar”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 27, 2013

The Ocelot is an OK bar. They have a great happy hour offer. The food is typical bar fare but not as good as others like Reilleys for example. But, worth the visit especially for happy hour.

“Just Another Bar!!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 23, 2013

Hey, when you visited Antigua its a town of over 250 restaurants and bars. So, you have alot of choices and alot to compare one against the other. The Ocelot is good as a bar. But, if you want live music...keep on moving... If you want good food....keep on moving as they don´t prepare food in the Ocelot. Yes, there... More

Hi Alice. In many ways this review is my favourite of the 67 because the transition from Bar\Restaurant to Bar is complete. We are not a restaurant anymore but the other menu that you talk about is from my other business Lava Terrace Bar and Burgers which is on the beautiful terrace above Ocelot. We have 14 different kinds of... More

“I give it a go!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 15, 2013

Ocelot is a great bar to hang out if you avoid the younger, loud and crowded bars; which are most in Antigua. There are the local bar flies of course, as any good bar should have, so do not hesitate to talk to them. They have good stories and most of them have been around for a while, it just... More

We live in the city but frequently visit Antigua. Two years ago we we happened across the Ocelot. We loved it. The food was great. Tapas were unique and wonderful. An atmosphere that was welcoming to young and the older crowd. Great jazz music inside and live music in the garden. We felt at home as we are a Little... More

Thanks for the review. I would like to point out that you say that the service was poor but the waitress was great???? I don't quite get that one!!! But anyway yes we changed our concept. I felt after 2 and half years the Blues and Jazz was struggling in a Town of 30'000 people where a lot of potential... More

A group of friends and I tried out Ocelot's trivia for the first time tonight. We have been living in Antigua off and on for over a decade and Ocelot is one of the newer venues in the town. We enjoyed the trivia, the drinks, and the atmosphere, but twice during the night (again, our first time T the place)... More

Thank you for the kind words about the Ocelot being great and i will take action against the 2 guys who we know because the bartender told me what went on after you left. Please ask for management next time. We are a bar and some of the regulars have been on it all day at different places. I will... More

“Perfect spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 25, 2013 via mobile

Great bar near the city center. Bartenders are excellent Leito and Sarah were great! The owner Shawn was super friendly and funny. Best happy hour in the entire city! From 5-6pm run and beers a flow'en. Trivia on Sunday is a hoot (we watched not played). Can't speak highly enough about them... Hopefully Shawn will visit us in Belize one... More
