Bar of the Week: Topper’s Restaurant & Bar

A true gem in Simpson Bay, Topper’s has long been a beloved local favorite. Located to a stunning waterfront spot on the lagoon, Topper’s has combined its vibrant restaurant scene with its internationally awarded Rhum Distillery, making it a must-visit destination in St. Maarten.

The menu is a crowd-pleaser, offering everything from locally caught lobster and fresh salads to comforting pasta dishes and Certified Angus Beef, grilled to perfection. Whether you stop in for lunch, dinner, or their popular happy-hour specials, you’ll find something to savor. Thursday nights are especially lively with their dinner-dance show, but it’s the nightly karaoke that keeps the bar buzzing with energy.

Don’t miss the Topper’s Distillery Tour, where you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how their handcrafted rhums are made. Sample six signature rums, indulge in their famous rum cake, and learn how to properly taste and nose rum like a pro in the barrel aging room.
