Help Rebuild the Heart of Caye Caulker: Barrier Reef Sports Bar and Grill



Dear Friends, Supporters, and Community of Caye Caulker,


It is with heavy hearts that we have to reach out to you today, as our vibrant and beloved Barrier Reef Sports Bar, located in the heart of Caye Caulker village in Belize, was tragically engulfed in flames and burnt to the ground in the early hours of November 10, 2023.

This iconic establishment has not only been a place to enjoy refreshing drinks, delicious food, and live music but has also served as a cornerstone of our community, bringing together locals and visitors alike. The Sports Bar was the first stop for many when arriving in Caye Caulker on the water taxi to enjoy a cold Belikin or a delicious lunch.


The Barrier Reef Sports Bar has been a hub of laughter, camaraderie, friendships, and unforgettable memories. The fire has left not just charred ruins but an irreplaceable void in our community spirit.

Now, we need your help to rebuild our home away from home and restore the heartbeat of Caye Caulker.

Why Contribute?

Supporting the Staff: Our dedicated and hardworking staff members are an integral part of the Sports Bar family. Your contributions will help provide financial assistance to these individuals who have lost not just their workplace but a significant source of livelihood.

Rebuilding the Icon: The Barrier Reef Sports Bar wasn't just a structure; it was a symbol of togetherness and celebration. Your support will contribute directly to the reconstruction efforts, ensuring that we can rebuild this iconic establishment better and stronger.

Community Resilience: Caye Caulker is more than just a picturesque island; it's a community that thrives on unity. By coming together to support the reconstruction of the Barrier Reef Sports Bar, we are not just rebuilding bricks and mortar but fortifying the bonds that make our island special.

Giving Back: Management and staff of the Barrier Reef Sports Bar were always first in line when it came to helping the community of Caye Caulker; countless fundraisers for children, Christmas, medical bills, and many more were held and financially supported when needed.


How You Can Help

Financial Contributions: Every single dollar counts! Your generous donations will go directly to the owners for supporting the staff during this challenging time and rebuilding the Barrier Reef Sports Bar.

Spread the Word: Share this crowdfunding campaign with your friends, family, and networks. The more people who know about our cause, the closer we get to resurrecting the heartbeat of Caye Caulker.

Local Business Partnerships: If you are a business owner or know of businesses willing to contribute supplies or services for the reconstruction, we would love to connect and explore partnerships.

Let's join hands, rebuild the Barrier Reef Sports Bar, and show the world the resilience and strength of all that love Caye Caulker and the Caye Caulker community. Your support means the world to us, and together, we can bring back the laughter, the music, and the joy to our beloved island bar.


Thank you for being the foundation of hope in our time of need.



With gratitude,

The Barrier Reef Sports Bar Family and the Caye Caulker Community
