If you're planning on going to the Soggy Dollar for Ol' Years Day, bring your high-limit credit card with you...

This is the world famous Soggy Dollar bar on Jost Van Dyke - 
a small island in the British Virgin Islands...
 
It's called that for a great reason. There is no 
dock on that beach. Wanna go in for a cocktail or lunch? 
Ya gotta swim in - they won't even let you dinghy-up onto the shore. 
Of course, credit cards are what they get most of the times these days, and it better be a high-limit motherfucker 'cause there ain't nothing budget conscience about this joint. 
 

They're famous for having invented the drink called 'The Painkiller, and I'll tell you from personal experience they are fuckin; GREAT, but damn they're pricey. Check out their 'Ol' Years Day' menu:
 
 
Yeah - you read that right. Twenty Two smackers for a friggin' cheeseburger. It's almost as bad as Dodger Stadium prices, but the reality is, it's worth every penny and then some. 'Going Soggy' is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most people. You should be so lucky.
Juss' sayin'...
 
Wanna save a coupla grand and make a Painkiller 
for yourself? Click on the GIF above and 
the link'll open in a new tab for you...

  2. The burgers are a bit pricey, but the rest of the menu - - well! come down to Florida if you think those same menu items will empty your wallet too fast.

  5. With a name like painkiller i expected something more potent than one generous shot of rum. Pusser’s has a good strong flavor, and the Gunpowder version is 109 proof. Use that one. Regular Pusser’s is no stronger than 84 proof, on par with most whiskeys. In Europe it’s watered down to 80 proof, like most weak gin and rum.

  6. We were just at the Soggy Dollar on Dec. 6th. Didn't have any food, just a Painkiller and a few beers! Fun day at the beach! I even bought a Soggy Dollar ball cap.
