Why this matters?
The 'keel', is the backbone of a vessel, without a keel a vessel has no structure, its where you start building a ship - or in our case, a small family owned business.
Imagine a bar born from sea stories, veteran craft, and island tides —
Where every drink comes with a history, and every guest gets treated like crew. We’re not just launching a bar. We’re building a gathering place — and it starts here.
This phase funds the essential first steps toward opening our doors in St. Thomas, USVI — slated for 2026.
Find out who we are here.
