Discovering Paradise
Cold beers, good vibes, no pretense
Sam's Bar & Grill is a Sosua institution, a casual watering hole that has been a gathering place for expats, tourists, and locals for years. The atmosphere is pure laid-back Caribbean: open-air seating, sports on multiple screens, cold beers on tap, and the kind of friendly, everybody-knows-everybody vibe that makes first-time visitors feel instantly welcome.
The food is honest, satisfying bar fare with a Dominican twist. Juicy burgers, crispy chicken wings, loaded nachos, and fish tacos make up the core menu, alongside Dominican favorites like fried cheese (queso frito), chicharrones, and tostones with various dipping sauces. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and everything pairs perfectly with a cold Presidente or one of the bar's tropical rum cocktails. The kitchen stays open late, making it a reliable option for nighttime cravings.
Sam's is more than just a restaurant — it is a social hub where travelers share stories, expats catch up on the latest news, and locals come for a good time. Live music nights, quiz events, and sports viewing parties keep the calendar full. For visitors looking for a casual, welcoming place to eat, drink, and socialize on the north coast, Sam's delivers every time.
