Restaurant

Nestled among tall coconut trees, just outside Nelson's Dockyard, this renowned fine restaurant, opened in 1985 under the same owners / operators; and stands out as one of the most highly recommend by Captains and crewmembers as their favorite in Antigua and, in some cases, worldwide! 

Just as the name states, there is magic in all they do. Quality and consistency of service, ambience and most importantly, the delicious dishes created by legendary executive chef, Salvatore Piras (A.K.A. Sagie) at his 22nd year with Abra, are the main reasons behind the success. 

Their traditional Southern Italian cuisine includes an exciting range of creative, delicious appetizers (the mix selection “Antipasto Misto” is a must!), finger licking home-made pasta, freshest seafood, AAA black Angus beef and the famous Sardinian Chef, “Porceddu” (suckling pig), all accompanied by a rich list of wines, a custom designed choice of tropical cocktails and superb, decadent desserts. A memorable Captain’s comment made to us really sums it up: “…We’ve been cruising throughout the Caribbean for over 20 years and every time we stop in Antigua, Abracadabra is our first choice for a crew meal and a night of partying, nowhere else quite compares. The staff is so friendly and personal.
The food is delicious and the parties are just superb!” Dinner is served Mon-Sat (occasionally on Sundays too) from 1900 to 2330hrs. Reservations are strongly recommended.

Nightlife

Abracadabra is a MUST!! Since 1985, it has altered the nature of Antigua’s nightlife! 

Home for residents, visitors, and celebrities all perfectly blended in the cozy, laid back but professional and secure environment, “powered” by a new, state of art, sound and light system. Open Monday to Saturday (occasionally on Sundays too!!) with peaks on the weekend. 

A variety of top DJs lead the crowd to “under the stars” dancing. Famous for monthly theme parties, featuring, along with well-known local ones, also DJs from Ministry of Sound, Pacha Ibiza and other international dance-music networks. A pulsing bar serving reasonably priced drinks / shots and a welcoming, competent staff complete the picture. Occasional live performances by dancers, magicians, jugglers, singers add to the magic of this thriving ambience. Late night snacks are available on weekends from midnight. The “joint venture” with International artists produced Abra’s lounge CD “TERRACE VIBES” available on site or on iTunes.
