Undoubtedly the most successful restaurant and bar enterprise in the island of Jamaica and, indeed, the Caribbean is the world-famous Rick’s Café, to be found on the cliff of West End, Negril, in the parish of Westmoreland. The Rick’s Café story began in 1974 when Richard ”Rick” Hershman bought this stony cliff-side one-and-a half acre property from Dr Winston Campbell, son of Jamaica’s first native Governor General, Sir Clifford Campbell. He then set about establishing the first public bar and restaurant on the west end of Negril. Over the years, despite two major setbacks due to extensive property damage by Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 and almost total destruction by Hurricane Ivan in 2004, Rick’s Café not only survived but has also been rebuilt bigger and better and now boasts a staff complement of 80 employees including management.
