Nightlife In The Bahamas
Travelers to destinations in the Bahamas, in addition to
enjoying the many fascinating activities offered by the
islands, ranging from the traditional attractions of sun, sand
and surf to the culture attractions of museums and historical
sight to the simply amazing zoos and aquariums, have the
opportunity to enjoy a vibrant nightlife in the company of an
international mix of tourists and residence. There’s always
something interesting to do or to see in the nightlife scene of
the Bahamas.
The Wyndham Nassau Resort and Crystal Palace Casino is one of
the largest casinos in the Bahamas. It features all of the
casino favorites, including more than 700 slot machines and 51
blackjack tables. Visitors can also try their luck at the
roulette wheels and the craps tables, and there is even a
baccarat table for those so inclined. There’s a theater with an
800-person capacity, with a variety of entertainment offered
through the week.
There are two other major casinos in the Bahamas. These are the
Atlantis Paradise Island Resort and Casino and the Crowne Plaza
Golf Resort and Casino at the Royal Oasis in Freeport While
opinion varies as to which of the three are the best, most
people do manage to try out all three.
However, nightlife in the Bahamas isn’t just about gambling the
night away in the glitter and gleam of the casinos. There are a
variety of nightclubs, discos and bars, some open all night
long.
One of the all-nighters is Club Waterloo, located on East Bay
Street on New Providence Island. Housed in what was once a
grand colonial mansion, there is one main bar, and five smaller
bars. Each of the smaller bars has its own specialty and style.
Among these smaller bars is Shooters Sports Bar, a Bicardi Bar,
which is self-explanatory, and an outdoor, poolside bar. The
cover charge is high, up to $30 on weekend nights, but in
reality, you’ll rarely pay that much. Many taxi drivers sell
what are called visitors’ passes that reduce the cover charge
to a much smaller $5. This spot attracts a mixed crowd that
typically includes locals and vacationers from Europe and the
Americas.
Club 601 is another all-night spot on new Providence Island. It
is a disco, and the music is usually of an international flavor,
just like the crowd it attracts nightly. Other nightlife
favorites in the Bahamas include the Blue Bee Bar on Great
Abaco Island and Senor Frog’s at the British Colonial Hilton,
at 1 Bay Street in Nassau, New Providence Island. Senor Frog’s
tends to attract a young and energetic crown, though people of
all ages enjoy the karaoke nights.
As in most of the most popular vacation destination, the
nightlife scene in the Bahamas is interesting, exciting and
active. You are sure to have a good time if you exercise a bit
of common sense, caution and courtesy. Whether you choose a
quiet bar tucked away in a lovely island corner, or dance all
night at one of the discos or gamble until the dawn in one of
the fabulous casinos, the Bahamas will offer you a memorable
nightlife experience.
