Divi Southwinds nightlife - dance, drink, have fun!
For the most authentic Bajan evening possible, head for Baxters Road in Bridgetown, where there's always something cooking Friday and Saturday nights after 11pm. In fact, if you stick around until dawn, you'll find the party's still going strong. Some old-time visitors have compared Baxters Road to the back streets of New Orleans in the 1930s. If you fall in love with the place, you can "caf crawl" up and down the street, where nearly every bar is run by a Bajan mama. The most popular "caf" on Baxters Road is Enid's (she has a phone, "but it doesn't work"), a little ramshackle establishment where Bajans come to devour fried chicken at 3 in the morning. This place is open daily from 8:30pm to 8:30am, when the last satisfied customer departs into the blazing morning sun and the employees go home to get some sleep. Stop in for a Banks beer. Boatyard Bar & South Deck Grill, Bay Street in Bridgetown, is one of the busiest and most animated of the youth-oriented bars in Bridgetown occupying an outdoor, beach-fronting building whose interior is lavishly decorated in Creole colors of bright yellow, blue, and pink. If you want food, the menu features simple platters of fish, chicken, or burgers. If you want to go swimming, the beach lies almost directly adjacent to the foundations of this place. Expect a 5-minute trek from central Bridgetown, hordes of dancers jiving to the DJ every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and lots of local gossip. Open daily 9am to 1 or 3am, depending on business. Harbour Lights, Marine's Villa, Lower Bay Street, 2km (1 1/4 miles) southeast of Bridgetown is the most popular weekend spot for dancing, drinking, and flirting on all of Barbados. In a modern seafront building with an oceanfront patio (which gives dancers a chance to cool off), the place plays reggae, soca, and whatever else is popular until the wee hours nightly. The barbecue pit/kiosk serves up hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, fish, and hamburgers on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Monday is beach party night; the BD$98 (US$49) charge includes transportation to and from your hotel, a barbecue buffet, drinks, and a live band. On Wednesday and Friday, the cover is BD$35 (US$18). The place attracts a large local following, with a few foreign visitors showing up.
