Corporate chic are words many use to describe Caribbean Producers Jamaica Limited (CPJ)’s dynamic trendsetting bar and lounge located at the Courtyard Complex, Lady Musgrave Road in the Corporate Area. CRU Bar opened its doors in 2012 and has since continued to exceed patrons’ expectations with tasty fare and beverage, as well as value for money.
Offering a modern and relaxing atmosphere, CRU Bar is the perfect getaway spot, especially for those seeking an escape from what can be a horrible vehicular traffic on Lady Musgrave Road. Operations Manager Shana-Kay Pottinger invites everyone to visit and experience the impeccable service and versatility offered by properly trained and experienced staff.
Living up to its reputation of having an extensive line of products, CRU bar promises to keep patrons hydrated and refreshed with beverages, spirits and alcoholic drink mixes throughout the summer and beyond.
CPJ distributes some of the most refreshing beverages that Jamaica has to offer including the world-renowned Arizona Iced Tea, Keror Sparkling Wine, Lifespan Spring Water and Rubicon Exotic Juices. Some of these beverages can be found at CPJ’s CRU Bar, or at the CPJ Market located on the same premises.

Made with natural ingredients, Arizona Iced Tea is a smooth energy variant offered in a 23.5-ounce bottle – more than we are accustomed to from other products. One is guaranteed to be refreshed by merely looking at the beautifully designed bottle, so imagine the effect the drink must have!
Keror Sparkling Wine is a perfect alternative to alcoholic beverages. The non-alcoholic bubbly hails from France, adding to its sophistication and is perfect for the warm summer days ahead.
Lifespan Spring Water comes directly from the springs of Portland. It is pure and offers the chance to buy Jamaican.
Speaking exclusively to Buzzz Magazine, CPJ Senior Brand Manager – Beverages Rojah Thomas implores all to be adventurous in their drink choices, and adds that Rubicon exotic juice is a great chaser to make your favourite cocktails. One can choose from the six flavours currently on the Jamaican market – soursop, lychee, mango, pomegranate, passion fruit and guava.
But what if your taste is for something stronger? Well, CRU bar doesn’t disappoint. After all, what is a bar without ‘strong’ options? Senior Brand Manager – Spirits and Brews Kemmar Lewis reminded patrons of the Finlandia Vodka line offered at the bar. The drink goes through a six-row barley distribution process, to which untapped glacier spring water is added. It’s safe to say this is the smoothest vodka in the world. Five wonderful flavours are literally at one’s fingertips. There is Finlandia Original alongside mango, cranberry, lime and grapefruit-infused flavours. Thinking what else to get at the bar? Jack Daniels Old No. 7 speaks for itself.
