Fodor's Expert Review Hillside House
Tucked away in a courtyard off a busy street, you'll find this restaurant, bar, and art gallery all wrapped up in one. The gallery is housed in the 1840 back house—all that remains of an old Bahamian estate. Once you've had a look at the local art inside, take a seat at one of the long communal picnic tables in the courtyard and order a classic Bahamian cocktail like a Bahama Mama or Goombay Smash from the wooden shack bar or try one of their specialty cocktails infused with local flavors. Be sure to ask the bartender to explain the names of the drinks. The food is simple but delicious—wings, conch fritters, burgers, tacos, and nachos.
