Coco's Bar
Lively reggae, soca, and samba blast weekend evenings from the turquoise Coco's Bar. The assemblage of dogs dozing on its veranda during the day illustrates the rhythm of local life.
Hot Rocks
A wonderful breeze wafts through this huge, semi-open-air U-shape bar just off the beach. Nights are dedicated variously to bingo, karaoke, live music, and open-mic performances.

Reggae Bar
As befits the name of the place, reggae music is on tap here a few evenings of the week. You're bound to hear "No Woman, No Cry" and all the other anthems. After dark, take a taxi to and from here.
Ricky's Bar
Quieter than Coco's across the street (although if Coco's is hosting live music, you'll hear it from here, too), Ricky's is a good place to kick back with a beer and watch the passing parade on the main street. (The food here is nothing special, though.) It's "Ricky's" or "Rikki's," depending on which sign you look at.
Stashus con Fusion
You can hear live music many Saturday evenings at this organic-food restaurant.
Tasty Waves Cantina
Tuesday is $2 taco night at the lively, sometimes rowdy, Tasty Waves Cantina. There's live music on Friday and karaoke on Saturday. Movies get under way at 7:30 pm on Monday and occasionally other nights of the week as well.
