 "In June 2024, after several years running a successful catering company, Alterio opened STJ Speakeasy, an open-air restaurant in Cruz Bay serving shareable, globally inspired fare with a Caribbean twist—dishes like spiced oxtail arancini, ceviche with roasted pineapple salsa and plantain tostones, and pan-seared lobster dumplings with ginger and sunflower shoots."

Our Space
The space is where the story begins...And carries on.  Our food truck, dining room and bar rest adjacent to the footprint of the space that once was St. John's beloved BBQ spot, Barefoot Cowboy.  The bar top and other elements of our libation station were inherited from The Quiet Mon Pub, a St. John staple for visitors, residents and, most specifically, service industry employees.  It is our hope that our friends and visitors will take in the view as they lean upon the bar with feelings of nostalgia and coming home to a familiar space.  
Location
STJ Speakeasy is located in Cruz Bay on St. John in the US Virgin Islands.  You will find our unique dining space with a spectacular view in the Lumberyard Parking Lot between The Roti King and Love City Ice.
