Caribbean Barbados Bridgetown Bars & Nightlife

Overview

Bars & Nightlife The guide was updated: 2024-09-10

Some call Bridgetown one of the Caribbean nightlife capitals since it really has everything: opulent nightclubs, vibrant beach bars, local pubs, and dinner cruises. The main hotspots are the Careenage and St. Lawrence Gap, but beach lounges and little rum shacks can be found everywhere on the island. Make sure to try the island’s signature drink – rum – when visiting Bridgetown and Barbados.

Check out some of the best bars and nightclubs in Barbados:

Harbour Lights

Harbour Lights

Harbour Lights at Carlisle Bay functions as a beach club (including turtle and shipwreck tours) by day and as a nightclub when the sun sets. Expect Caribbean dinner shows, different DJs and a buzzy atmosphere in one of Barbados’ most famous clubs. Wednesday and Friday nights are the peak times for open-air parties at Harbour Lights.

Crystal Waters Beach Bar

Crystal Waters Beach Bar

Crystal Waters is popular among locals and visitors alike and can be found by Worthing Beach (St. Lawrence Gap). Every Sunday, there is a barbecue at lunchtime and live music throughout the whole day and night. Expect typical pub grubs and affordable drinks – especially during their daily happy hours in the afternoon.

Wendy's Sports Bar

Wendy’s Sports Bar at the island’s west coast serves authentic and affordable Bajan food and beer (check the special offers).

“The Gap” offers lively nightlife and various restaurants for all tastes.
