If you visit Jamaica, you must have a chilled bottle of the world's coolest beer, Red Stripe beer, confirming that you're above the legal drinking age. 

Red Stripe beer is synonymous with the Jamaican experience because it existed long before this blessed land was free from colonial rule.

Its smooth yet zesty taste also reminds drinkers of the genuinely vibrant yet calming spirit of the island and its inhabitants.

So, where in Jamaica can you have a chilled bottle of Red Stripe? Or maybe two?

Here's a list of 13 of the best places in Jamaica for you and your friends to enjoy Red Stripe. 


Red Bones Blues Cafe, Kingston

In addition to enjoying a cold Red Stripe, visit this bar on Argyle road for an evening of fine Jazz music, dub poetry readings, and even film screenings.

If your appetite permits, have dinner with your Red Stripe by the bar, in the dining rooms, under the gazebo, or by the courtyard.
