There is one event however that has made the Dockyard and indeed the Copper and Lumber literally world famous. 
Every Friday, scores of people from all walks of life pour onto the lawns of the Dockyard for a night of delicious seafood in an atmosphere that has proven unmatched and veritably impossible to replicate. 
The food is right at your fingertips for your choosing and dinner is by candlelight under the stars at dockside. The service is friendly and the bartenders know your name. Reservations are welcome as a typical night can get crowded. It is that popular and a must if you are in Antigua on a Friday night.
