The Columbus Tavern is the only native waterfront restaurant on Paradise Island, overlooking Nassau Harbour and conveniently located off Paradise Island Drive in the Paradise Harbour Club and Marina.
Just a few minutes walk from Atlantis and next to the Ocean Club Golf Course, The Columbus Tavern is the ideal place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner in a cool, breezy and relaxed atmosphere where the owner, Freddie Lightbourn and his friendly, courteous staff will make sure you are well looked after.
Choose your catch of the day from the freshest fish available in Nassau and let the staff know how you would like it prepared, or choose another delicious item from the menu.
Only the best of Bahamian and International dishes are served at the Columbus Tavern, including conch fritters, conch salad or mouth-watering guava duff, made with warm rum sauce. Specialites include Steak Dianne and Lobster Flambe. On Saturdays and Sundays enjoy Bahamian boiled and stewed fish, eaten with the traditional Johnny cake.
Happy Hour is held daily from 5pm-7pm when free conch fritters are served with your drinks. Meet your friends at sunset for a relaxing drink or have an intimate supper with your loved one on the Floating Dock. Looking across the harbour to Montagu Beach to your south or to the Atlantic to your west, the view and the sound of the water as it gently laps against the yachts in the marina, cannot help but make you feel at peace.
Weddings, receptions, cocktail parties and other events can be organized at the Columbus Tavern where you can be sure your special occasion will be a success, either inside or by the pool at Paradise Harbour Club.
On Friday and Saturday nights, listen to the sounds of George as he provides live entertainment with local and international songs for your listening pleasure.
Bahama Mamas, Margaritas and the amazing Flaming Coffee, prepared table side will complete your evening meal or you may indulge yourself in a 100-year old Grand Marnier for a special treat.
