Mates Bar (Economy)




Mates Bar is located at #1 Rasheed Avenue, Monroe Road Cunupia (Opposite the Monroe Road Pre-School). Mates bar long ago was very ole school, but like all economy bars renovations were done (I am guessing to keep up with the younger generation). They added an outside deck with seating, ambiance is superb (as with all economy bars): I always meet friends here whenever taking a cold one/s. Music was mellow, Live Dj's every Friday and Saturday Night, they have two television screens which is sufficient when watching matches. Cutters include hard fowl, boil channa and fried chicken. The boil channa was excellent (with heavy pepper). Parking is limited as only 4 or 5 cars can fit in the carpark, patrons usually park on the road adjacent to Mates or across the road. 

Drinks menu include local beers such as all Carib products , selected foreign beers , all Angostura products and Johnnie Walker, Tequila, Vodka, Bacardi and Bailey's. Due to this bar being popular it was selected as one of the bars from the Cunupia area to have the Coors Light 4th July special: $4 Can.



The only disadvantage with this promotion you have to purchase and drink the Coors inside the bar, you cannot leave with the Coors.  Another promotion which I made sure to be there for was Independence Day last year, they had $5 Carib and Stag ( BESS DEAL!!) from 3pm-6pm. Recently lunched combo was the Seagram Escape and Forres Park Puncheon rum PQ along with stag and Puncheon combos.  Every Christmas parang events are hosted and cookout limes are held. Mates is open everyday from 11am-till (I don't think they are open on Mondays). Wonderful, relaxing sports bar.

Steel Restaurant and Lounge

Image
Steel Restaurant and Lounge is situated in South Park Mall San Fernando. This restaurant is probably the most recently opened sports bar in Trinidad. Their cuisine include American, West Indian, Chinese and Italian dishes. Approaching the entrance, the bouncers were routinely checking patrons identification cards (LOL) and then I remembered its summer vacation. The upstairs (deck) is huge with open air seating, we visited on a Friday night, so it was packed. Music was pumping, televisions screens were sufficient, you had the option of dining inside or a more quiet experience inside: which had a full restaurant.  Ambiance was above average: design and layout. The seating accommodation was substantial, tables were placed at specific locations on the outside deck for those which chose to stand. Steel boasts a wide variety of both local and international beers and hard liquors, the wrap around bar was the highlight (in my opinion). We had the pepper chicken and spicy chicken alf

Toppers Restaurant and Bar (Grand Bazaar)

Image
Toppers Restaurant and Bar is located on the Northern side of Grand Bazaar Mall. This is definitely not your economy class sports bars. Viewing from the outside, the deck is spacious and seating is sufficient. Patrons have the option of dining/drinking inside or outside (I always go outside). American Cuisine is featured from steaks and ribs to seafood and pasta, they have a wide selection of appetizers. I had the Chicken Hoagie (yes I know this is not an appetizer but its good), buffalo wings and fries. Ambiance is above average, some activities include Karaoke every Wednesday night at 9pm, live bands every Thursday night at 9pm and the hyped after work lime. A wide selection of local and foreign liquors.  The last time I visited here customer service could have been better, the waiter when I explained to her we waited half and hour before we could have drinks she immediately apologized to us which was polite of her. Not many television screens, but it will do. Inside has an

Double H Recreational Club (Economy)

Image
Double H Recreational Club is located at Southern Main Road Cunupia, if proceeding towards Chin Chin Junction in a Southernly direction from Warrenville side it is directly opposite the savannah on your right side (this is before the Cunupia Police Station). I took my first drink of hard liquor in this bar (White Oak: BTW I drink mostly beers now). Parking is sufficient though patrons usually park on the savannah side and walk across when their front park is full. Ambiance is good enough for a economy bar, it has an extra large televsion screen looks like 72 inches I don't think they ever had any cutters, maybe boil channa a couple of times. But when you have a chinese restaurant next door you are not obligated to sell any cutters (this is a smart move), get high first and then to the restaurant to eat.  Seating is sufficient with tables located both outside and inside. When seated outside, you have the savannah as a good view and in the night the lights in savannah automa
