Curated by Condé Nast Traveler with Oceania Cruises | Featured Editor’s Tip: Drink local at St. Barts’ oldest bar. The island has no shortage of upscale cocktail bars and celebrity chef-helmed restaurants, but one spot that hasn’t lost its luster over the past 75 years is Le Select, in the heart of Gustavia. A popular place for locals to catch up after work or a day at the beach, the no-frills bar embodies the Caribbean’s laid-back feel. The menu is pure pub fare (think chicken wings and fried calamari), but the cheeseburgers are a crowd favorite — especially paired with an ice-cold Carib Lager or rum punch at one of the picnic tables on the shaded terrace.
