One of the world’s most isolated Pubs – the Albatross Bar – will re-open on Thursday, 16 September 2004 after repairs following the 2001 hurricane that devastated the settlement.  There will be a dance in Prince Philip Hall to celebrate the pub’s re-opening.  There will be a dance in honour of the opening of the Pub, though Prince Philip Hall, located in the same building, is still not finished.

During the time the building was not in use, Islanders used the Café as a pub.  Prince Philip Hall is the last public building to be repaired after the 2001 hurricane.
