Shirley Heights lookout antigua

One could say the world's most expensive street food is served here. You’ll have to wait a long time for a drink—perhaps 30 minutes—as it is very busy. Between the heat and the crowds, it’s really not worth a visit. They have live music on Sunday and Thursday nights; Sunday features pop and collapsible music, while Thursday is reggae. Unfortunately, the performances on both nights are of low quality.

Went to the Sunday party we had heard so much about. It was very crowded for such a small space. Long line for food and drinks. We arrived early thinking it was larger or there would be more to do. Ended up leaving after 45 minutes. Views are nice, but for the sunset, the sun was going to move below the mountain in the distance, so there was no way to view it dip below the ocean from this point. $10 per person entry fee as well.

We went on a Thursday and our taxi said it was quieter today than on Sunday. You pay an entrance fee because there is music (not for the location). Drinks prices were OK but the queue quickly built up to a 15.min wait. The food didnt look great as they had clearly made sure it was dead by leaving it on the grill for an hour. It was also ridiculously overpriced for what it was. The view is fantastic and once you've got through the crowds to take a pic it is a lovely photo. The steel band was great playing non stop. If that was a quiet night though I would not go on a Sunday..

We enjoyed the gorgeous view and sunset! The food was very good and reasonably priced! Plus, we enjoyed live music with two bands.

This place is everything that everyone says and shows. There's a $10 cover charge (one line cash, the other card) to enter and I suggest that you get there at 4pm when things start cause there will be a line (it moves fast) to get in and there will be a line (slow) for food so I suggest you have one person in the group get all the orders and wait in it while another person is in the drink line (which moves a lot faster) and another person scouting out a place to sit and eat while everyone else shops the vendors and/or enjoy the steel pan band that plays until it's closer to sunset and a live performance starts. You have plenty of places to take a photo in the first open area which can be crowded unless you take the trail down one end. You can't really say that you've been to Antigua if you've haven't been here on a Sunday.
