RICK’S CAFE

OUR STORY BEGINS with the opening og Rick's Cafe by its founder, Richard Hershman, in April 1974. At the time, Negril was a sleepy fishing village with little development. It lacked many modern amenities such as electricity, telephone and hot running water. Our beautiful little cliffside location was originally owned by a local doctor, the son of the first Governor General of independent Jamaica.

RICK'S CAFE was the first public bar and resturant of its type on the West End Cliffs, offering an alternative to Negril's majestic seven mile beach. From the beginning , Rick's Cafe boasted an unrivaled view of the sunset from its naturally formed cliffs. Over the years, visitors and locals alike have designated Rick's Cafe as Negril's premier gathering spot and our sunsets have become jamaica tradition.

FOR MORE THAN fifty years, Rick's Cafe has maintained as much of its original ambiance as possible, despite some setbacks. In September 1988, Hurricane Gilbert completely destroyed Rick's Cafe. Waves in excess of 25 feet crashed over the clifts and treetops. After rebuilding, Rick's Cafe came back more spectaccular than ever. Sixteen years later, on September 11, 2004 Hurricane Ivan destroyed Ricks. More Destructive than Gilbert, 80foot waves crashed over the cliffs and treetops. When the waves finally passed, Rick's Cafe had been blown across the road in bits and pieces. But even after the tremendous damage from Ivan, Rick's was rebuild once again, Bigger and Better than before.
