Had the most amazing steak here, one of the best I've had (and I've had a lot!) - all the other food was great too, Ribs were massive. Service was great. It was really quiet when we went on a Thursday evening, but it didn't bother us.

This is a marvelous spot for wonderful drinks and blazing amazing delicious food. If you miss this spot on your trip to Barbados, you only have yourself to blame.
The pork belly bites are a MUST. The shrimp and mushroom risotto is divine! There's no going wrong with the Jack Daniel's ribs.
The staff is simply incredible and deserve all the kudos I could write here for them. ❤️❤️❤️
EAT & DRINK HERE. You owe it to yourself.

We did brunch here and the atmosphere, the food, the service was all amazing! Can't wait to be back.

Great little spot, speakeasy type vibes with a great cocktail selection and food menu. Staff were attentive and friendly, drinks were great and the group enjoyed a selection of the daytime menu offerings. Definitely add this to your list of places to check out whether visiting or living in Barbados.

Thank you for a great evening. The welcome as a first timer was class, and continued to be throughout my time in your very fine bar. A really nice soothing atmosphere.. I will definitely be back and bring my siblings in.in 2025 for a reunion.

I rarely feel compelled to write a review days after visiting a place, but this experience at the Sipping Room was so bitter that I had no choice.

My friends and I decided to try their "bottomless brunch" this past Sunday, which turned out to be a sham of an experience. The night before, the owner had my friend text her all our brunch orders so they could be "prepared in advance."

When we arrived, we were misled right off the bat. The advertisement promised a choice of bottomless mimosas, screwdrivers, and Bloody Marys for $75 BDS, but when we got there, we were told we could only choose one drink for the entire brunch. What a joke.

When I told the bartender I wasn't a fan of vodka and asked if I could switch to tequila for the Bloody Marys, he had the nerve to check his watch and say, "It's noon... you're really drinking tequila at this time?" Are you kidding me I'm in a bar at noon with a group of friends, and I'm getting judged for my drink choice? Since when is it more acceptable to drink vodka and prosecco than tequila? His attitude was not only condescending but downright rude.

And then, the real fun began. The owner greeted us and mentioned that she had forgotten to send our order to the kitchen. All that organizing and texting the night before? Completely pointless. We sat there, famished, with no food. The food arrived over two hours later.

And when the food finally arrived, it was a slap in the face. I ordered a Cream Cheese & Smoked Salmon bagel, which cost an outrageous $42 BDS. My friend had ordered a side of honeyed ham, so I decided to get the same side. When my order came out, the ham was slapped onto a soggy salmon bagel. I asked for it to be taken off, and when my bagel came back, it was kind of laughable: barely any cream cheese in it at all, one side completely missing the salmon, and the other side topped with what looked like shredded, canned salmon instead of smoked. And of that, there were meagre slivers of it on that one side.

This is what they're charging $42 BDS for? I could name a dozen places on the island that serve a real cream cheese and smoked salmon bagel for a fraction of the price. As for the honeyed ham, it wasn’t even freshly made—it was some abysmal store-bought, pre-sliced garbage. I glanced at my friend's wet omelet, and it was clear she was just as disappointed. She had asked the staff four times for side of toast as well before she eventually got it.

I then had to witness the owner scolding her staff for trying to see over my shoulder to check the tip on my $140 BDS bill. Unbelievable.

Do I recommend brunch at the Sipping Room? Absolutely not. No, not on your life... Save your money and your time. The place is an scam, with terrible food and mediocre service.

This cozy & intimate restaurant and bar is the vision of the husband-wife duo, Hosea and Cathy, who are there every night ensuring everything goes smoothly...and it sure does. The staff is courteous and prompt, and make you feel very welcome there. The food menu options are delicious, and the craft cocktails choices are so extensive and amazing. The lighting is dimly lit, giving it the perfect vibe for a date, or a small group of friends.

Don’t bother. Waited over two hours for main course gave up paid bill 105 bds dollars for two drinks two starters this is after our first two choices of cocktail were not available. Sat outside very unsecure area we were bothered by two people off the street asking for money. Eventually the waiter closed the gate. They still had the cheek to add service to the bill what an absolute insult. It’s a shame we wasted an evening of our holiday when there are so many excellent restaurants to choose from.
