Hey, when you visited Antigua its a town of over 250 restaurants and bars. So, you have alot of choices and alot to compare one against the other. The Ocelot is good as a bar. But, if you want live music...keep on moving... If you want good food....keep on moving as they don´t prepare food in the Ocelot. Yes, there... More

Ocelot is a great bar to hang out if you avoid the younger, loud and crowded bars; which are most in Antigua. There are the local bar flies of course, as any good bar should have, so do not hesitate to talk to them. They have good stories and most of them have been around for a while, it just... More

We live in the city but frequently visit Antigua. Two years ago we we happened across the Ocelot. We loved it. The food was great. Tapas were unique and wonderful. An atmosphere that was welcoming to young and the older crowd. Great jazz music inside and live music in the garden. We felt at home as we are a Little... More

Thanks for the review. I would like to point out that you say that the service was poor but the waitress was great???? I don't quite get that one!!! But anyway yes we changed our concept. I felt after 2 and half years the Blues and Jazz was struggling in a Town of 30'000 people where a lot of potential... More

I really love this bar, the staff will give you an excellent and friendly service all the time. Definately, the Trivia Night (sundays) is always awesome, if you´re travelling by yourself and/or with friends you will be having such a good time at this Bar. Also, you will always have the chance to chat with Shaun and Dave, friendliest lads... More

A group of friends and I tried out Ocelot's trivia for the first time tonight. We have been living in Antigua off and on for over a decade and Ocelot is one of the newer venues in the town. We enjoyed the trivia, the drinks, and the atmosphere, but twice during the night (again, our first time T the place)... More

Thank you for the kind words about the Ocelot being great and i will take action against the 2 guys who we know because the bartender told me what went on after you left. Please ask for management next time. We are a bar and some of the regulars have been on it all day at different places. I will... More

We had a decent time at the Ocolot but if you are not one of the locals you may not fit in. There is a wall of Bar Flies that represent faces of their local regualar clients. Prices are OK. They have a good happy hour at 5Q but after that prices are the same as everywhere else. Service is... More

Hi. I'm so glad that you thought Ocelot is a decent bar and that we have the best happy hour in Town. The barflies are great people and friendly and the last thing I would ever want here is a clique. And yes you are right we do need to move the photo of the ceviche off here because we... More

Great bar near the city center. Bartenders are excellent Leito and Sarah were great! The owner Shawn was super friendly and funny. Best happy hour in the entire city! From 5-6pm run and beers a flow'en. Trivia on Sunday is a hoot (we watched not played). Can't speak highly enough about them... Hopefully Shawn will visit us in Belize one... More

When in Antigua, this is where I go. The prices are some of the lowest in Antigua. There is a great happy hour here and plenty of interesting people to speak with here. The music is also nice.
