One of the evenings I stayed in Kingston I made plans to meet a fellow Canadian for dinner. She suggested Cuddy’z Sports Bar in New Kingston. I really didn’t know anything about Kingston so I was fine with her choice since she’s lived there on and off for years. It’s located at 25 Dominica Drive.
It was interesting driving into New Kingston for the first time but it just reminded me of home….another big city. Not my thing really, I had more fun driving through Arnett Gardens (bad area!!) after dinner. The biggest shocker about going inside this restaurant was the amount of white people! I shouldn’t have been surprised because Kingston is full of them but it still wasn’t what I was expecting.
Cuddy’z is a popular sports bar I found out from Googling it, and it’s owned and run by legendary West Indies cricketer Courtney (Cuddy) Walsh – hence the name. CLICK HERE for a great write-up about it with some daytime pictures.
Four of us had dinner this night and it wasn’t outstanding, it was average. I had a Caesar salad – yes I crave just salad sometimes. The menu had a lot of American food on it and had some Jamaican dishes too, the prices were reasonable. Actually I found prices in Kingston to be the most reasonable of anywhere I’ve been on the island!
The service was really slow for a Tuesday night that didn’t look very busy. The waiter messed up one of our orders and brought a completely wrong dish so we had to wait for the correct replacement. At the end of our meal we were disappointed to see that they didn’t offer any compensation on the bill for the error, we had to ASK for a break on the bill. Finally the manager came to sort it out and we got a free meal.
Anyways it was a nice experience to visit this the place but I’m not sure I’ll visit again, for no other reason than I don’t spend time in Kingston.
