Went there with some friends for drinks and foods as we stayed at the guesthouse nearby. The foods and music are OK and price is reasonable. The most annoying place about this place is the bar manager, Chinese guy (I learned that his name is Robert) keep on interrupting our group conversation and being very rude. At the end of the night, he tried to make some very rude sexual proposal, which I find it very disgusting. I also learned there are few incidents in reggae bar where girls unconsciously raped after their drinks being spiked. So be careful!

This sort of thing can happen in any bar though. Unfortunate that you had to experience it in the Reggae.. -------------------- Woz..
