Both Ahh Bees and German Bar were temporarily closed at the same time, a tough break because both are among my favorite restaurants; Ahh Bees has incredible spicy burgers and convenient location near Seastar, and German Bar has awesome prices (five dollars for a medium pizza, ten for a large) and great-tasting entrees.
The reasons, in my opinion, were not good enough. Aubie was purportedly on vacation, but he was actually in the states because of a death in the family, he later told me. The owners of the German bar had gone foreign, too. My beef in both situations is why not, in the whole town of Negril, did they not trust anyone to run the business while gone? Are the workers in both establishments that untrustworthy?
Frankly, I'm often disapponted with the work ethic of local business owners, particularly the smaller bars and restaurants. I don't know how many times I've drove past Banton's or Sexy Rexy's or Ras Rody's during business hours and wanted to stop in but no one was manning the store.
That's weak. There is no excuse to just bail like that.
