It’s the first thing you see — the thing your eyes are drawn to — when you walk to the start of the ferry dock on Harbour Island in The Bahamas, a warm white-and-blue sign that says “Harbour Bar.”
But hidden away under the slanted roof, nudged between the Island Company retail shop and India Hicks’ store is something rather exciting.
The Harbour Bar is no ordinary watering hole — it’s the first branded bar by the Island Company, a sleek, terrifically outfitted little bar that is focused around Island Company Rum.
While there’s just a single rum here, the award-winning gold expression from Trinidad — and you can get it for just $5 a cup — the story here is a range of inspired cocktails – and a crisp but breezy place to sip that’s instantly one of the island’s top new places to gather.
The soundtrack is a loop of Island Company staffers’ favorites, the lighting properly dimmed and intriguing, the staff friendlier than any bar we’ve been to on the island.
It feels like it’s been here for years.
Yes, it’s branded, but the design is meant to make it part of the Harbour Island landscape, and it succeeds, with a handwritten menu and dark walls whose only clue to newness (it opened this week) is the freshness of the paint.
The Harbour Bar is a welcome stop in Dunmore Town, a much-needed drinking spot for this section of the harbor and, well, a great little rum bar.
It isn’t just the first thing you see when you step off the ferry dock.
It’s the first place you should go, too.

Pagua Bay House, Dominica Yes, it’s time to return to Dominica.

Dominican Republic tourism is up almost 6 percent so far in 2018, according to new data from the Dominican Republic’s Central Bank provided to Caribbean Journal.
The country reported a total of 2.9 million visitors in the first five months of 2018, up 5.9 percent compared to the same period in 2017, according to a statement from the Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Tourism.
The country will need to continue — and transcend — that growth rate if it is to achieve its stated goal of 10 million annual visitors by the year 2023.
Last year, the Dominican Republic grew by 3.9 percent, with a total of 6.187 million stayover tourist arrivals in the calendar year 2017.
