The Rumpourium, the oldest bar on St. Thomas, has been serving patrons since its opening in 1906. This historic establishment boasts original stone floors and ceiling rafters that were part of Alexander Lavalette's ship. A unique architectural feature of The Rumpourium is its original hearth, a rare and luxurious element for homes built in the 1820s, which typically did not have interior hearths. This blend of maritime history and architectural rarity makes The Rumpourium a cherished landmark on the island.
