"Remember the oldie "Under the Boardwalk" by The Drifters?The owner of Drifters Bar, Luddy Samms, tells stories ofhis careerwith The Drifters, as well as tales of singing with Eric Clapton andStevie Winwood and Bruce Willis. Sammsopened this hot-spot bar and performance venue on Seven Mile Beach in 2011, and expats, locals, and tourists flock here for cold Red Stripe, good food, and lots of live music in a variety of genres. Because this is an authentic Jamaican beach bar, though, reggaeis king."

Wow, what a fantastic bar. I had such an amazing night here, the music is outstanding, especially Luddy, but all of them were fantastic. The service was exceptional and drinks prices were really good in my opinion. I will definitely be back one day. Thank you team drifters.

This place is right on the beach. They had gospel music playing when we walked thru. The employee said every Sunday morning they start with a little God before they get Crunk! The sweet lady at the bar was gracious enough to let us sit in the shade and eat food that we bought from another establishment so of course I bought a drink!! Cool little chill spot and family friendly!

Nice live music, sundays 3-6pm . Food just next to drifters and little store in front where you turn in. Great vibes and cold drinks with dancing.

When visiting Negril, be sure to make a stop at Drifter's Bar! The entertainment, food, and beverages are all Top Shelf! Visit Chef Monica for the absolute best curried lobster!

Great Place with Live Entertainment 🥰 Visited :January 2025 I got to sing at Drifters with the band which was lovely....It is owned by Luddy Sam's (and actual previous member of The Drifters) Along with his wife Jan. They made me feel welcome and the place has a buzz and atmosphere which particularly caters for tourists but locals also enjoy it...They also have a hostel there for reasonably priced rates. Has a taste of family and friendship and the live entertainment is brilliant...Bar open and band plays four days a week I think from 3 to 7pm.... It's a great hang out spot and lovely concept.
