When the sun goes down, Bajans "lime"—which can mean anything from getting together for a drink and casual chat to enjoying a full-blown "jump-up" or street party. Most resorts have nightly entertainment in season, and nightclubs often have live bands for listening and dancing. The busiest bars and dance clubs rage until 3 am. On Saturday nights, some clubs—especially those with live music—charge a cover of $20 or more. Many bars and nightspots feature happy hours.
Barbados supports the rum industry with more than 1,600 "rum shops," simple bars where (mostly) men congregate to discuss the world or life in general, drink rum, and eat a cutter (sandwich). In more sophisticated establishments, you can find upscale rum cocktails made with the island's renowned Mount Gay and Cockspur brands—and no shortage of Barbados's own Banks Beer.
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.
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.

Rockley Main Rd., Worthing, Christ Church, BB15150, Barbados
This is a quaint unexpected spot for great food, live music, brunch, and delicious cocktails.

Remember that it's cash only.
Sophisticated in style and seductive in setting, this is a romantic place to enjoy some Champagne, a tropical cocktail, or a glass of wine before heading out to party in Holetown.
Party in the open air or in one of the customized (or VIP) areas with friends for themed nights, karaoke, and a mixture of reggae, Latin, Afrobeat, and soca music.

This open-air beachfront club claims it's "the place to be." Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday nights (during high season) are the hottest, with pulsating local, regional, and international rhythms. There's an entrance fee ($35) but drinks are included. During the day enjoy a relaxing time on the beach with umbrellas and beach chairs or go swimming with the turtles and explore the nearby shipwrecks in Carlisle Bay. On Wednesday and Thursday nights there is a beach extravaganza dinner show.
