I mean this in the best way possible. Jet's is one of a kind with a larger than life owner. An awesome way to start your Belize journey and get a little liquid courage before your puddle jumper flight. A shot or two of One Barrel and a Belikin is my go to, but the rum punch is also tasty.

So hold your nose, close your eyes and embrace the weirdness. It's expensive but not for an airport bar with no other options. The hot dogs are tasty but don't ask a lot of questions. Grabbing a spot at the bar and people watching is the primary activity. If you have a college team sticker or a first responders patch they'll put it up for you.
Enjoy!

If you've been to the airport before, odds are you know of this place. Jett is a stable and a must see place when at the airport. He makes homemade sandwiches but the real reason to go is to catch that last minute local beer before heading back home. It also helps that he's a great host.

We love this bar, it is great for a quick drink waiting for your flight to the islands. The rum punch is a great way to start your vacation.

I try to stop in for a drink here each time I fly out of the Belize City International Airport. However I know it's not for everyone.

The drink selection is a bit limited, and the selection of food is extremely limited. After sitting for a while, you may notice that Jett's has no running water within its tiny footprint; perhaps this has something to do with it.

IMHO Jett's makes one of the best rum punches in Belize, which is no mean achievement. The chicken salad sandwiches which he brings from home are unique. The bar is funky in the extreme. "Jett," the proprietor, is about the smallest barkeeper you'll ever see, and a real hoot. However he's a wee bit prone to treat persons of the female persuasion in a manner, well . . ., let's just say more acceptable within the mores of a prior decade than those of today.

I enjoy the part of Belize which is authentic, and which doesn't try to fool the visitor into thinking he's in a first world country when he's not. The locally made mahogany seating of the PGIA/Belize City Airport serves this purpose well, as does Jett's Bar. Hence I really like this place. However, I fully understand that you may not.
