Someone told me there is a great place (bar) to go which is upstairs, near the Yacht Club and has a panoramic view of the island, not to mention great mango coladas. Does anyone know the name of it?

It's about 25 feet south of the Yacht Club entrance in the Island Convention center. It's upstairs, has a sign out front about drink specials, but that's as far as we have ever gotten.

The bar you're thinking of is at the top of a 3 story flight of stairs. Right across the street is a ground-level bar at the Hideaway.I've never been up the stairs...

What? No elevator! Jeez, I wouldn't want to be negotiating three flights of stairs after an extended R&R session. No wonder you haven't been up there yet Jesse.

I don't know about Jesse, but the only way I'll go UP those three flights of stairs and have drink is if they put six mattresses at the bottom. Thank you no, I'll confine myself to the "view" from the Hideaway. Imarquis, if you happen to venture up would you please take some pictures.

Yes, I will definitely take pictures, and I do plan on at least checking it out (and, of course, trying one of their mango coladas!).

Waiting for Imarquis' pictures. I suggest you make it your first bar stop of the day/night. The drink does sound yummy, and the view should be fantastic. Enjoy.

Imarquis: Holler when you start back down the stairs, the Hideaway Crew will catch you. Those coladas are sometimes called "colliders"!

You know Jesse, we could string up one of those rope/pulley things from the top floor of the convention building to the doorway or pool at the Hideaway.. Put a rescue sling on it and THERE YOU GO! Oh yeah, and one of those little rubber "oogah" horns (left over from the original attempt at equiping the golf carts) so that as you streaked across Coconut Drive towards the cozy confines of the Hideaway you could warn the pickups, taxis, stray dogs (Oops, didn't mean that), and bicycles.
The view would pretty damn good for the first second or so too. The last few feet could be a problem.

After I have been listening to you guys for months, in great anticipation of my first trip, I hope I don't shake a leg (whoops, break a leg!).
