Cobra’s Bush Bar

Cobra’s Bush Bar is a hidden gem nestled along the Indian River in Portsmouth, Dominica. Accessible only by a tranquil 30-minute rowboat journey through lush mangroves and towering Bwa Mang trees, this rustic riverside bar offers a unique blend of natural beauty, local culture, and potent libations. Operated by Cobra Tours, this  riverside retreat offers an authentic taste of local culture, nature, and hospitality.

At the heart of the Bush Bar experience is the legendary Dynamite Punch—a potent blend of up to 44 tropical fruits, herbs, and local rum. This signature concoction is so powerful that guides humorously advise: “One cup is good, two is better, but for three, we call 9-1-1”
Beyond Dynamite, the bar serves a variety of bush rums infused with herbs and spices, along with refreshing fruit punches in flavours like lime, peanut, coconut, and passion fruit.

Set amidst the verdant jungle, Bush Bar provides a laid-back ambiance where guests can unwind and immerse themselves in nature. The bar’s rustic charm is complemented by the surrounding flora and fauna, creating a serene backdrop for relaxation.
Visitors often highlight the friendly service and the unique experience of enjoying a drink in such an idyllic setting. As one reviewer noted, “Great spot with outstanding service and a very chilled out vibe. Be sure to say hello to the friendly resident cat, too”

Food Offerings

While primarily known for its drinks, Bush Bar also offers local Dominican fare upon reservation. Guests can savour dishes like smoked fish or chicken plates, served with roasted seasonal ground provisions such as sweet potato, yams, dasheen, plantain, green banana, and breadfruit, accompanied by a seasonal salad.
