Culture Yard (8 a.m.–6 p.m. daily, US$10) is a project developed by the Trench Town Development Association and offers a museum tour based around Bob Marley's former home in the ghetto of Rima. It has been deemed a historical site. Visiting Culture Yard is a decent excuse to see the slums of Trench Town, which have retained the dire conditions that gave birth to songs like "Concrete Jungle" and "No Woman No Cry," even if the cost for a look-around feels more like charity than value.

Medusa (4 p.m. until last person leaves Mon.–Sat.) located on a second-story wood deck built by proprietor Jason Lee in 2005, is the perfect spot for an evening drink. Patrons dance the night away for Latin Night, held every other Saturday. The Wednesday evening (6 p.m.–1 a.m.) all-you-can-drink special is very popular (US$12).

Kno Limit Sports Bar (kitchen open 11:30 a.m.–9 p.m., bar open until you say when Mon.–Sat.) has a nice outdoor courtyard space with a flat panel TV behind the bar. Kno Limit is perhaps best known for Passion Sunday (midnight Sun.–3:30 a.m. Mon.), a popular street party held weekly. The kitchen serves traditional Jamaican fare, including fried, baked, and roast chicken, plus tripe and beans, shrimp, conch, lobster, and cooked food (ground provisions, or tubers).

Club Escape (open 24/7, US$6 for men, US$5 for ladies after 9 p.m. Fri. and Sat.) is an outdoor bar and nightclub that often has heated dominoes games in the early evenings, plus a mix of music that includes hip hop and reggae. Lunch is served 11 a.m.–4 p.m. daily except Sunday, with items like chicken, oxtail, curry goat, and pepper steak (US$3.50–5). Light items like kebabs and grilled and jerk chicken are served in the evenings until 3 a.m.
