Esther's Bar, Saint Mark Travel Guide

Esther's Bar is a beloved fixture on Grand Anse Beach, Grenada, offering a taste of authentic Caribbean beach life. This isn't your typical mega-resort bar; Esther's is a small, family-run kiosk located within the open-air Grand Anse Craft and Spice Market. Don't blink, or you might miss it, but once you've found it, you'll understand why it's a favorite among locals, expats, and tourists.What makes Esther's so special? It's the combination of potent cocktails, a laid-back vibe, and the genuine warmth of the staff. Esther's is famous for its island cocktails, especially mojitos and pina coladas. The bartenders are happy to whip up whatever you desire, using a decent collection of Caribbean rums, including local Grenadian varieties.The bar's location on Grand Anse Beach is ideal. The two-mile stretch of white sand and calm turquoise waters is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and various water sports. After a day of activities, Esther's provides a welcome respite. The vibe is casual and convivial, with customers mingling and socializing. There's often live music in the market, adding to the festive atmosphere. Be prepared to wait a bit for your drink, as each cocktail is made with care. But as seasonedtraveler.ca puts it, this is a “rush slowly” kind of place and, by our experience, it will be well worth the wait.While Esther's doesn't serve food, you can grab a bite from one of the neighboring kiosks in the Spice Market. Or, simply enjoy your drinks and the stunning sunset views over Grand Anse Bay. Esther's is more than just a bar; it's a Grenadian experience.
