On Wednesday, April 7, Le Bistro hosted Happy Hour from 3:00 pm until 9:00 pm (buy one, get one free), with free pizza at the bar starting at 7:00 pm. I don't know if this will be a regular event, but it's the first time I've see Happy Hour (as we know it) advertised. When you find a deal on St Barth, take advantage of it!
