The Petite Pump Room Bar & Restaurant Celebrates 50 Years on August 1, 2020 as St. Thomas’ oldest restaurant.
In 1970, Anna & Douglas Watson started what has become a family tradition with the acquisition of the Petite Pump Room formerly located in Palm Passage in the historic downtown of Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. During that time & still today, the Pump Room is a favorite meeting spot for locals, visitors, & the “who’s who” of the Virgin Islands. The tradition has been carried on by Anna & Douglas’ son Michael, with his family Judy & Michael, Jr.
The delightful and casual bar & restaurant is now situated on the water’s edge with views of the beautiful Charlotte Amalie harbor. The Pump Room serves breakfast & lunch daily (Sundays are seasonal) specializing in Local/ Caribbean & American cuisine.
Fresh fish caught by the local fishermen, Conch Sautéed in Lemon Butter Sauce, Stewed Oxtails, Conch Fritters, Homemade Mango & Soursop Ice Cream are just some of the favorites. A variety of salads & sandwiches such as Blackened Mahi Caesar, and Grilled Mahi or Chicken Sandwiches are also available. Dine on one of the two open air terraces & indulge in some of our great tropical drinks such as the famous Pump’s Rum Punch, Pain Killer, Mango Mojito, Mike’s Bloody Mary, Passion Fruit Mimosa, Bushwhacker, or Native Homemade Tropical Juices.
The Pump Room is preferred by islanders & visitors for its authentic local food, tropical drinks, and great friendly service.
