Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Curaçao right now.
There are quite a few bars and nightlife hot spots scattered about the island in different neighborhoods, and something different going on every night of the week. But there is no one "nightlife" district per say. Your best bet it to seek out the Curaçao Party Guide (www.curacaopartyguide.com) for complete up-to-date events and music and theme nights to find your style and where it’s happening. There are a few pockets, however, that are always nightlife-lively, like Maambo Beach Boulevard, Jan Thiel, and more recently, the newly transformed neighborhood of Pietermaai and Scharloo, where you can bar-hop in one spot without having to drive anywhere. And most resorts have some kind of nightly entertainment on-site on weekends.
Curaçao is addicted to jazz, and there are many live jazz festivals throughout the year, but if you really want to get into the swing of it any night of the week, head to Miles Jazz Vinyl and Cigars Cafe. Named after the legendary musician Miles Davis, it's a cool little getaway in the heart of Pietermaai where you can hear jazz played on vinyl, play board games, and have a cigar and a drink. Local musicians occasionally stop by to jam as well.
This collection of bars and dining spots gathered in the historic stone bastion affords glorious views of the harbor and sea by day and morphs into a magical strip by night with twinkling lights and live music emanating from the many different venues.
