On our way back from Nine Mile we decided to stop at a friend’s roadside bar in Coultart, near Claremont in the parish of St Ann. The girl I was traveling with used to live in this area and the bar was owned by her friend, nicknamed “Steaka”.
Steaka has quite the little village in this spot – there’s a little bar, a shop and several other little buildings that I didn’t know if they were in use. But every structure standing within the area was definitely Steaka’s because his tag was on ALL of them! I thought it was amusing and we quickly named the area “Steaka-Ville”.
Â
One of the funniest things I noticed at Steaka-Ville was the bar license….it’s ACTUALLY licensed! There are SO many establishments in Jamaica that have signs reading “Notice of intent to obtain a license” but I’ve never actually seen a real licensed place! But in the middle of nowhere, in little old Steaka-Ville, there WAS in fact a license to serve liquor!
We hung around at Steaka’s for a while just chatting and patronizing his little shop. Whenever we know someone in the area we like to “keep it in the family” and support their businesses.  Â
And the scenery around this place was great! Pure Jamaican countryside! Way off in the distance on a hillside, he pointed out and informed us there was a pig slaughter house LOL! When we looked over we saw a man following a pig around and knew that was the next dinner being served!
