Bago's is the friendliest bar I have visited in Tobago (and I have been to a few
). The owners, English Bob and his wife Shirley (think she said she was from Trini but could be wrong) make everyone feel so welcome, the staff are great and from day one address you by name. Steve's report in the restaurant listings says Bago's is an ex-pat hang out, however we found a complete mix of holiday makers, locals and ex-pats - but the best thing was everybody was mixing and chatting together.To be honest we only ate there once, the fish chowder is amazing, but the other meals we saw served looked and smelt delicious, and very reasonably priced.
Bago's is also possibly one of the best spots to view the sunset from.
Just take a camera with you every time, I found that the best sunsets were on the days that I left it in the apartment!
The opening hours have changed from Steve's listed ones, they now open Tuesday - Saturday 10.00am - 7.00pm though there is often someone there to serve you a drink from 9.00am if you are desperate, Sundays 10.00am till late ( I think when the last person departs for Sunday School), you can also often get a lift to Sunday School with others from the bar.
Shirley has also started to arrange some open air street fairs - will write a review of this in 'Sightseeing etc forum', they are intermittant at the moment, vaguely coinciding with public holidays, keep an eye out for them publicised in the bar.
In summary, Bago's is a great, friendly, fun, relaxing place and I would highly reccomend it to anyone.
