The Best Barbados Nightlife for Your Night Out in Barbados!

What's happening on the Barbados nightlife scene? And the best places to be?

The island’s many fine dining restaurants, night clubs, bars and lounges go into full “swing”.

Start off with a romantic or family themed dinner or evening starters with your good friends, and head on to one of the island’s local hot spots- bars or lounges for an after dinner drink, if you like, go to a club and party away to Caribbean music or a popular local band.

What ever your rhythm and activity, there are endless options to making your evening or night in Barbados delightful…BUT...of course we try to bring you the hot selections.

Based on a few reviews from some local people and visitors on Barbados, at the time we were making this list, we asked this fun question about Barbados nightlife activities: “Pubs, clubs, lounges and restaurants in Barbados that rock your world!?”

What came out?

Paint the Town…Top choices:

Fisherman’s Pub

In Speightstown, St. Peter, this ocean front, wooden structure opens for daily lunch, serving local dishes. On Wednesday nights, there is exotic steel pan music and a flamboyant cultural floor show, limbo and land ship performances, Barbados nightlife at its best.

Occasionally, another traditional cultural performer- "Mother Sally" would make an appearance. Don’t miss Friday nights’ Curry Kareoke (carry your own key.)

Reviews/comments:

Local: Beverley - I love Wednesday's dinner and dancing. I just like the atmosphere of the pub. A casual lunch on the deck by the water is relaxing. What makes it better is that you run into one or two interesting people.

Visitor:ST.C from Ireland- I usually have a wonderful time when I go –Wednesdays are quite good

Local: Anonymous– I like de place and I like de food.

Rock your world highlights: The food, and on Wednesday nights the floor show.


McBrides

A cool pub in St. Lawerence gap, next to the After Dark, a lively, upbeat atmosphere, pool tables, full bar, and dinner is available.

Local: KJ - My McBrides highlight is Thursdays, cool band and cool people

Visitor: Don from London- Love the upbeat pub atmosphere-They play all types of international music. Sundays seem to be exciting with the…ahem… dance competition. It's good nightlife.

Rock your world highlights: Thursday nights and Sunday nights

Harbour Lights

Lower Bay Street, this beach front “old” great-house “frame” structure, boasts the most vibrant island parties on the Barbados nightlife scene. Wednesdays and Fridays are normal club nights and on Sunday there is the beach party which begins at 6:00pm.

Local: Renee - It’s a great party, the drinks are correct and the vibe is nice. The best night for me is Friday since I don’t have to work on Saturdays.


The Boat Yard:

Situated on Bay Street, just on the outskirts of Bridgetown, opens as a chic beach bar during the day, party or have dinner with local bands or local DJ music.

Review/comment:

Visitor: Ben from Canada– Well, when you go on down to the Boat Yard, it’s a good place to have a couple of local Banks Beers, meet the Barbadian people and it’s a good place to see and experience Bajan dancing, mostly wining-up (also known as “wukking-up”.
