3 Best Nightlife in The Southern Out Islands, Bahamas

This local bar on Gregory Street is the most popular hangout in town.

The long name is Lloyd’s Sporting Lounge & Entertainment Center, and, for Long Island, it has quite a bit. This comfortable and smartly designed sports bar and lounge has big-screen TVs for sports and five pool tables. In a separate room, they also have a disco, where you can dance to the live tunes of the bands and DJs every Friday and Saturday night. Lloyd’s hosts frequent pool tournaments, and people flock to enjoy happy hour from 5 to 7 pm weekdays, when beer buckets are four for $12. Their food is also good and affordable: Long Island mutton, chicken, steaks, seafood, and various fettuccine main courses are available. Lloyd’s is well-thought-out and rather luxurious for the Family Islands—very enjoyable especially for big-group entertainment and dining, to catch sports on TV, or to dance to some live music.

Owners Ted and Melony (the latter is also the fabulous cook here) entertain locals and visitors with great Bahamian food and karaoke. It is known for the Bahamian touches, like sky juice, the 46-ounce Como Hill cocktail, and other drinks served in pea cans. Some claim Melony's food, served on palms and sea grape leaves, is the best they've had. Spurred on by tuneful locals and visitors pumping out a great selection of music, this place can rock until 3 am. If the music's too loud, you can dine and drink on the deck. This is the north's best nightlife spot.
