Rare 1kaper Posted June 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I have seen some people say they won't go to Jack's Shack anymore. We were there about 8 years ago and loved it. What's up? Does anyone know the price of a bucket of beer? I can find the drink menu online but not the price of beer. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green4me Posted June 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Have been twice recently, October 21 on the Magic and January on the Mardi Gras (first time she made a visit there). We will be back in less than 3 weeks on Mardi Gras and God willing we will be there with a smile on. Prior to that have made several visits as well. Topher the worlds most photographed dog has gone on to doggie heaven. Two other Doodles are there to greet you most of the time. (bring some dog treats hint) Nicest people in the world Jack, Janet and Erin plus the staff. Beer's ice cold, occasional free shot and we love the jerk chicken and cracked conch. If you do go have a blast! Happy Cruising 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted June 22, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) I believe it is currently the only beach bar outside the cruise port in that section of the island. For those cruisers who who abhors Margaritaville and don't like the southside of the pier venues, it's the only place to go without taking a taxi to town. Thus, gets crowded.

Went in April but our ship got in later so Jack's was already packed. Planning to go when we sail on the Mardi Gras again this October. Was there a charge for chairs or were they free as long as you purchased food/drink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green4me Posted July 5, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Not sure as we sat at the small tiki bar and ate/drank there when we were not in the ocean. I'll be there next week and can check it out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green4me Posted July 26, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 26, 2022 No charge for chair umbrella use at Jack's Shack as long as your buying drinks or food. We had a group of 10 and had a blast. Jerk Chix and Crack Conch were delicious. As always Erin and the crew behind the bar were the BEST! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green4me Posted July 27, 2022 #10 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Yup sad, they have two doodles still. We sadly learned they have sold the business and moving family back to Canada end of this year. Hopefully new owners will keep it going. Trying to talk DW into one more trip 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted July 28, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Jack sold the Shack to his partner. So I'm going to say things will remain the same until different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nydney1 Posted August 2, 2022 #12 Share Posted August 2, 2022 We were there in June and they are now charging for chairs and umbrellas. I don’t remember the cost. still had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybumpkin Posted August 11, 2022 #13 Share Posted August 11, 2022 We went to Jack's this past Sunday and spoke with Jack. Janet and Erin are back in Canada - as I understand, they wanted to be there in time for the start of school for Erin's daughter. Jack will be heading north toward the end of the year. Jack's staff is very good - I had a rum punch and commented to the guy making it, "Jack has trained you well." We enjoyed our visit very much. Kraken is also in Canada now, and Calypso is with Jack. Calypso is a very friendly dog, but different personality from Topher. Of course, Topher was one of a kind. As for chairs and umbrellas - When we were in 2018, it was $20 for an umbrella and chairs were free. Now it's $10 for an umbrella and $6 per chair - so for us, an increase of $2. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma1980 Posted September 7, 2022 #14 Share Posted September 7, 2022 We were there last week. $11 for an umbrella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
