Our History
John Crow’s Tavern isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a story – a story that began in sunny Ocho Rios back in 2005. We were born from a simple dream: to create a welcoming space where locals and visitors alike could gather, share a good meal, and soak up the vibrant spirit of Jamaica.
Over the years, John Crow’s has become a beloved Ocho Rios institution. Our menu, a delightful dance between American classics and Jamaican favorites, has won the hearts (and stomachs) of locals and tourists alike. Our friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, and the intoxicating blend of reggae music and American tunes create a unique experience you won’t find anywhere else.

What People Say
Always go here when I’m in Jamaica. I have never had a bad experience. Food always on par, service always on par, regardless of where I sit (bar or restaurant). Let me just say that the food this trip was 5 Stars”
Marsha Francis
The best place to eat in Ochos Rios! The steam fish in pumpkin sauce was delicious and the service was great. On the weekends they have a DJ and the vibe is really fun!”

Good place to go for some jerk food. Prices are reasonable, service is delightful. Right across the street from the hotels/apartments!”
