2 Best Nightlife in Barbados

Copacabana Beach Club

Fodor's choice

This lively, family-friendly club—complete with beach chairs, bars, good food, and shower facilities—is on a beautiful calm beach with excellent snorkeling spots. Lounge under an umbrella on the sand, cocktail in hand, or enjoy fresh fish tacos while watching a sports match on an indoor screen. This is also a venue for concerts and outdoor movie screenings during the Barbados Independent Film Festival. Day passes include use of amenities and act as credit that guests can redeem at the bar and restaurant.

Oistins Fish Fry

Fodor's choice

This is the place to be on Friday evening, when this South Coast fishing village becomes a lively and convivial outdoor street party suitable for the whole family. Barbecued chicken and a variety of fish, along with all the traditional sides, are served fresh from the grill and consumed at roadside picnic tables. Servings are huge and prices are inexpensive—about $15–$20 per plate. Recommendations include lionfish, plantain, and breadfruit. Drinks, music, and dancing add to the fun. To avoid the crowds, come any day but Friday for lunch or dinner.
