Nestled on the shores of Jost van Dyke, one of the British Virgin Islands, the Soggy Dollar Bar has become a beloved haunt for yachties, Caribbean sailors, and tourists alike. Legend has it that this rustic bar is the birthplace of the BVI’s signature cocktail, the Painkiller, a refreshing blend of rum, pineapple, and orange juices. The bar’s name is said to originate from the practice of sailors swimming ashore with wet dollar bills to buy drinks. Today, visitors can enjoy the laid-back atmosphere and sip on the iconic Painkiller while taking in the island’s serene beauty.
