The owners of Island Vybez Deli Hub (Theo Sutherland & Jervain "Biggz" Richardson) have teamed up once again to bring to you St. Croix's newest hotspot for food, drinks, entertainment, sports, hookah, & more! Your central new spot for GOOD VYBEZ ONLY. As an entertainment blogger every once in a while I decide to take sometime off and enjoy a night out with friends. We have frequented the bar a few times since the opening. The atmosphere is great, there are always different food options everyday, and the selections of Djs are endless. The bar is located in Estate Glynn where the old Morgan convenience store use to be. Many things has changed since the pandemic began, night clubs and adult entertainment lounges have either been shut down or become regular restaurants. On the Friday we attended Kemo Dan was the Dj in attendant, and set the vibe for the entire evening. All in all Bliss Bar & Lounge is a really great place to hang with friends .
