Calico Jacks Best Beach Fun Ever! 

 Passenger Picks finally caught up with  Sian Weinzweig, no stranger to Calico Jacks and knows how to pull off the best or should I say "Epic Events" on the island!

  • PP Why is Calico Jacks the post popular Bar and Grill on the island? What is the draw?

SW Calico Jacks is right on beautiful seven mile beach and just steps away from the incredible clear blue water that Grand Cayman is known for . As well as that Calico's has a very casual and fun atmosphere with some of the cheapest drinks on island.

  • PP I know casual is key for I have seen some major volley ball tournaments take place on the sand at Calico Jacks! This bar is a magnet to the young and old! Not fancy just fun!


SW You got that right! But tons of folks are drawn to excellent entertainment and excitement!


  • PP Yes the sunsets on Seven Mile Beach are amazing! Many folks hit the Beach right before sunset to witness the sun cascading into the sea 

  • PP What is the significance of the Pirate outside the Bar? Where did the name come from Calico Jack?



SW The pirate was called Calico Jack Rackam, When the owner opened Calico Jacks he also still owned Rackams downtown so it made sense for him to name this new bar Calico Jacks! 

PP Folks Love the food at Calico Jacks! Especially the BBQ? Can You tell me more?

SW The food is great! Jerk chicken, pan fries grouper are both cooked with authentic Caribbean recipes. The quesadillas are to die for -  many call them the best on island!

PP My husband Dave is addicted to the Jerk Chicken right off the Grill!
  • PP Hundreds gather for your various events, feed back I receive is that the events are high energy, fun and always different? The full Moon Events seem to get a lot of buzz!
SW Yes most definitely the full moon parties are island renowned and it brings huge crowds every time. I think people enjoy partying under the stars on the sand which is why Calico Jacks is the perfect venue for big parties!




  • PP  Who plans these events? How do you get the big names? 
SW Epic Day Entertainment plans most of the big events and they have great contacts to bigger names and  I won' t spoil their secret on how they get them! 




  • PP What are some of the Events Coming up in the Future?


SW Full moons are obviously a favorite in fact the next Full Moon Party is August 28th! But I personally love New Years Eve also. EVERYBODY goes out on NYE and its just such a great atmosphere! Epic Day Entertainment usually brings in a big name DJ every year and it's become the place to go. 1500 people were on the beach last year!




  • PP  You started out at Calico Jacks working the bar area tell us about the culture,the fun factor,the folks you draw!
SW Calico's is just such a great place- the bar staff are really fun - everyone is really good at what they do and enjoys doing it. GREAT staff is something Calico's has prided itself on since opening. when tourists visit Cayman, they find out pretty quickly that Calico's is a place they must visit, plus its a very local hang out! All round great place!




Calico Jacks is a busy beach bar with beautiful sunsets, great events, delicious local dishes and entertaining staff. They host an Open Mic Jam every Tuesday night where people are encouraged to bring their instruments and get up and join in the fun. Saturdays are Jackpot Saturdays at Calico Jacks where a DJ spins funky, progressive house on the beach - Calico Jacks is THE place to be on a Saturday night. Every Full Moon also sees a big party on the beach at Calicos so if you happen to be on island during a Full Moon this is definitely worth a stop in to check out. Call 1 345 945 7850 or email sianwales@gmail.com for more details. Opening hours 9am - 1am Monday to Friday, 9am - 12am Saturday and 11am - 12am Sunday.

  As the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean, Grand Cayman offers countless fabulous food opportunities! However, these delicious opportunities can create a bit of a financial drain on families or small groups of friends. Sure, cooking in the condo will save some money, but most folks on vacation don’t want to cook every night! Throughout the year, people ask me which restaurants give the best deals. Certainly, a little bit of planning before your trip can help keep the costs down. A family of 5 can, indeed, enjoy restaurant meals at Grand Cayman. This article will give you an overview of restaurants that have been recommended by passengers who like great food and appreciate ways to get the most from their vacation budget.  First, choose either condo life with a full kitchen or a hotel room with a kitchenette. Either will give you some space for storing light meals and snacks. Some passengers bring in a few snacks (think “dry goods”) from home but always check for any restrictio

To celebrate Women’s Dive Day 2019 Divetech will bring together women hand in hand in an attempt to break their own World Record! In July 2018, 86 women at Divetech in Grand Cayman created a human chain along a 300ft line suspended at 15ft, thus ensuring the ladies were neutrally buoyant protecting the coral on the sea floor. Last year the charitable event raised over $3,000 US for the Cayman Islands Breast Cancer Foundation as well as raising awareness for women in diving globally across all disciplines including recreational, technical and Freediving. This year they are aiming for 100 women and for the event to be bigger and better! They are hoping for a number of the Cayman dive shops to join (bringing our dive community together), a raffle with lots of prizes (to help raise more money for the Breast Cancer Foundation), as well as local conservation organisations joining the event to raises awareness of island ocean issues, such as Lionfish as an invasive species.
