Sidelines Sports Bar & Grille (Sidelines), is the only American-style and American-owned sports bar in Okinawa. The sports bar is located directly in the center of the Sunabe Sea wall in Chatan city and surrounded by local dive shops, restaurants, and small budget hotels along the wall.

Gordie's Hamburger is a locally popular eatery in Chatan Cho festooned with castaway decor, kitschy 1950s and 1960s memorabilia, and roadside diner in the middle of nowhere appeal. It’s tucked away on a side street near the scuba dive culture hub of the Sunabe Seawall.

Starving after a long flight into Naha Airport, I asked the Information Counter receptionist at the arrivals floor for the best place to go for Okinawan cuisine. When she wrote in Japanese script “Naha Airport Restaurant”, I was slightly bemused, as if I typed these words in a translation machine. Really? There is a restaurant by that name?

One of my favorite places in Okinawa is the IFINITI Bar & Grill (INFINITI)!

For an evening of good food and musical entertainment on Ishigaki island, head for Funakura no Sato. This traditional restaurant sits on the edge of a flower-filled complex near the outskirts of Ishigaki city on the island's western coast.
