Select is not about "the best food" or the "best drinks". It is about the people and the history of St. Barts. It is about Marius and his family. It is about Marius and his friends. If you were to spend any decent amount of time there, and be willing to slow down and listen and watch, you would be... More

Much like Jimmy Buffett's music, Le Select is only mildly satisfying and most likely only enjoyable if you've just inhaled. If you want a thin, overpriced, hockey puck burger then this is your place. Rumor has it Jimmy Buffett wrote the song because he was stuck on a boat eating canned food. If I was in that situation I would... More

March 12 2009, Just returned from a 3 week sailing vacation in the Caribbean. We sailed over to St Barth's on a whim after being told of the wonderful snorkeling at Anse Columbier and other beautiful beaches. We anchored just outside the main harbor in Gustavia trying to avoid the high winds and big swell that had kicked up from... More

There are a lot of bars in the Caribbean, and this is one of the best. We love it for what it is not as much as for what it is. It is indeed a place with a touch of class in the island way. You can see and meet some very interesting people here day or night, and some... More

I've been to St. Bart's 8 or 9 times over the past 15 years. I've spent the day on the island while doing several different Windjammer cruises. I've done day trips from St. Maarten, and I've spent a week there. Each time I make a point to stop here for some Caribs and a cheeseburger. I don't go just to... More

For those that didn't like Le Select because it didn't live up to their expectations don't belong in St. Barths...go to Disneyland instead. How can you not like a place that is purely itself and has not folded into commercialization? I absolutely loved having to wipe off my plastic lawn chair before I sat, I loved ordering 2.50 Red Stripes... More

Don't let this guy fool you. the bar was great and it was an excellent place to meet people while in gustavia. if you are up for some dancing and fun stop by le select for a good time. It is also one of the chepaer places on the islands to get drinks. More

This place has skidded along on it's reputation for years. Once it got the Buffett connection, it relied on reputation and eager yuppies dying to reminisce about their college drinking days. (Isn't that really what parrot-heading is all about?) It's dank and depressing, in reality, but will always endure as long as the followers of Buffett and parrotheadism endure. More

Le Select is one of those outside bars that poets dream of. In fact, it's where Jimmy Buffet found his inspiration for "Cheeseburger in Paradise." The place delivers on a simple idea: very good cheeseburgers and cold beer. Okay, so maybe you didn't come to the Frnech West Indies to eat a cheeseburger. But this place has character and is... More
