In Antigua, a year or so ago, Brad Latus opened an outpost of the Hut, a popular bar originally on the Isle of Wight, aimed at creating a vibrant party atmosphere. He brought together about 100 local staff members, creating an inviting and lively community space. The Hut, now established on a small island off Antigua's north coast, combines a restaurant and bar, with private huts for guests, introducing an exclusive yet approachable environment. Latus's venture embodies a shift towards a more personalized experience, allowing staff to express their creativity and engage with guests. The establishment quickly gained popularity among tourists and locals alike, noted for its welcoming atmosphere and beautiful landscape. Activities offered include a variety of complimentary leisure experiences, enhancing the overall appeal of the venue. The Hut serves a groundbreaking menu, influenced by local ingredients and tastes. Special dishes like the famous Biscoff ice cream cheesecake became crowd favorites, showcasing the culinary creativity that can be found at the bar. The philosophy behind the new Hut is not just about food and drink but fostering a sense of belonging among visitors and residents. Overall, Brad Latus's venture has succeeded in making the Hut a prominent social hub in Antigua, similar to its predecessor in the UK. With successful operational strategies and an engaged staff, the Hut's new outpost stands as a testament to Latus's commitment to creating unique, memorable experiences for those who seek them in the Caribbean.
