Bankie Banx's Brand New Beach Bar

Bankie Banx's Brand New Beach Bar

For years people have associated Anguilla's famous reggae artist, Bankie Banx, with his sea-side spot, The Dune Preserve.

The Dune Preserve is a little ramshackle of a place, perfect for a day of lounging, having a few drinks, and ordering from a menu of either chicken or ribs.

Bankie's bar, just washed up from the sea, was loosely constructed with ocean remnants like old fishing boats and adorned with pieces of drift wood and shells.

Today, The Dune Preserve remains on Rendezvous Bay's western shores, complete with its rickety, rustic charm, but it has been extended!

So, what's new?

First, the bar stretches further down the beach, towards the sea. A "boat bar" holds the restaurant together, which is complete with more tables, chairs and hammocks on a wood-plank floor.

For larger groups dining here, there are two semi-secluded perches at either end of the new extension. They maintain that ever-cool Bankie Banx style, but carry a slightly more refined feel.

My Dad and I had a delightful lunch at Bankie's new spot with our favorite Anguilla real estate agent, Jackie Pascher.

I ordered the mahi mahi, Jackie tried a steak sandwich and, upon Jackie's recommendation, my Dad went with the jerk chicken caesar salad.

Simply divine!

The people who run Tasty's are overseeing Bankie's new restaurant.

It's no wonder why our meals were so heavenly!

The mahi mahi was cooked to perfection, served with a Caribbean classic, rice and peas. Jackie declared that her steak sandwich was the best on the island! My Dad didn't say much... he was too busy devouring his delectable salad. I only remember him saying, "Thank you for the recommendation Jackie!"

This new spot is certainly able to bring in crowds of hungry beach lovers. What's not to love about Bankie's truly, great new spot?

Mouthwatering food, a refined beach bar that still has that funky Bankie Banx feel, sitting upon the golden sand, with friendly and timely service...

Bankie Banx's original, classic Dune Preserve will always be an island favorite, but his new beach bar is a personal favorite now, for both me and my Dad!
