A bar like Cheers

Welcome to Sibs on the Mountain, a bar in St. Thomas that we pass almost everytime we go anywhere. As a result we find ourselves here a couple times a week including most Sundays after the beach. On Friday or Saturday nights we'll stop in around 10-11pm and we can name at least five people that we're guaranteed to see.

When you walk into Sibs you find yourself on one side of a big bar that fills the room. It's dark in there, save for the light from the doors and from the four big TV's the put a glow on everyone's face. When you walk into the next room there are gambling machines and a couple of dart boards. Walk through this room and you find a couple of pool tables. There is also a deck with seating, but I've never made it past the pool tables.

If there's a game Sibs will have it on, so it's a convenient place to stop on a Sunday to catch the 4pm NFL games and grab a bite. Fans from every team flock here and debates can get loud and rowdy. There's always a healthy amount of New England fans on hand. We know the bartenders by name and they treat us well. Jessie is the chick we go to the most, she'll charge us $12 for countless drinks, in turn we tip her well - we'd prefer she get our money than the establishment.

Sibs is one of those places that runs itself. The first time we walked in there I could tell it was a cool local place, and that we would have to become regulars to really enjoy it. These days I feel like we're part of the Sibs crowd. Case in point: last week we went to the Hooters VIP party and the beers were free. When we left Hooters I had three 'roadies', one beer I was working on and two full ones. We decided to stop at Sibs and I walked in the bar with two beers. Sean was bartending and he took one of the beers and put it on ice for me. Where else does that happen?

Yeah, we love Sibs.
