There isn't much except the entertainment offered
by hotels. In the winter, at least one hotel offers a steel band or calypso music every
night of the week. Otherwise, check to see what's happening at Capone's (tel. 758/452-0284)
or the Green Parrot (tel. 758/452-3167), both in Castries.
Indies, at Rodney Bay (tel. 758/452-0727), is a
split-floor, soundproof dance club with a large wooden dancing area and stage. There's
also a trio of bars, with smoking and no-smoking sections. The DJs keep the joint jumping,
with both West Indian and international sounds, often American. The action gets going
Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 11pm to 4am. There's a cover ranging from EC$15 to
EC$25 (U.S.$5.55 to U.S.$9.25). Indies has opened a bar around the side of the building
called the Back Door, featuring alternative music and reggae. A sort of rock and
sports bar, it serves snacks until 3am.
One of the island's most action-packed dance clubs is Folley,
Rodney Bay (tel. 758/450-0022), adjoining La Creole Restaurant. Patrons 21 and up
can enter to enjoy a wide array of music from reggae to rock. Entrance fees vary from $6
to $8.
If you'd like to go barhopping, begin at Waves, Choc Bay,
Castries (tel. 758/451-3000), which is popular with both locals and visitors. Some
nights, there's live music or karaoke. Banana Split, on St. George's Street in
Castries (tel. 758/450-8125), is another popular hangout that often offers live
entertainment, as does Shamrocks Pub, Rodney Bay (tel. 758/452-8725). This
Irish-style pub is especially popular among boaters and gets really lively on weekends.
