Cayman Night Life

Party hard in Grand Cayman

The starry night sky can ab breathtaking in Cayman - with a lack of light pollution, the silhouettes of palm trees, and the relaxing and casual environment, star-gazing can be a stimulating experience. And this sets the mood for the island's eclectic night life scene. Grand Cayman offers a wide variety of options after a day of sun-filled exploration. The best place to be while the sun sets is along the shore, taking in the pinks, lavenders, grays and blues while gazing over the rim of a chilled drink..

As the night approaches, there are many choices of dinner places to go to. Some of the best bars on the island are attached to restaurants. Sample the island's local fare while feeling the rhythm of Caribbean music. Seven Mile Beach is the hotspot of night activities; it's where party animals congregate, comedy clubs leave you in stitches, and you can dance the night away at the discos.

The live-entertainment scene in clubs and bars changes on a nightly basis. One club might be jumping with a live band one night, and then be calm, with no live entertainment, the following evening. Local musicians dominate the music scene with the likes of Barefoot Man, George Nowak, who is a regular at the Reef Resort.

Cayman is not overrun with the usual loud, party-until-dawn happenings. Since scuba diving and other physical activities are the usual morning excursion, evenings are often about relaxing. But, of course, dancing and partying are still present as it is always a vital element of any city's nightlife.

For outdoor parties near the beach, the Reef Grill and Beach Bar located at the Royal Palms is one of the best choices as it offers upbeat live music ranging from reggae to Latin, a wide dance floor, a huge cabana bar, and a soothing breeze coming from the beach just on the side. Most young people visit here, as you can spot high school students and college spring breakers enjoying the night away.

Restaurant and dinner places are also popular at night, and many also have live music to accompany the excellent cuisine savored by the tourists as the day comes to an end. Here are just some of these food places offering live music on the side.

The Wharf Restaurant, as its name suggests, is built mostly on wharves and piers. The trendy ambiance lures the young, hip crowd to its alfresco setting that lets you dine while fishes swim underneath your table.

Deckers is aptly named because its bar is built in an original English Double Decker bus. It's a fusion of tropical beach bar and pub setting. Dine outdoors while you listen to live music.

Coconut Joe's

is known for being one of the liveliest nightspots and for its daily beer bucket specials. Enjoy your drinks while you watch your favorite sport on one of their big screen televisons.

Macabuca at The Cracked Conch

. Macabuca literally translates to "what do I care?" in the Taino Indian language. It's no wonder the carefree and hedonistic crowds definitely enjoy good music and drinking at this place.

O Bar

is the place to be if you like the big-city nightclub atmosphere. Get entertained by flare bartenders while waiting for your drinks. Tear up the dance floor while the DJ plays rock, funk, house and hip-hop music.

Dress up for a night out. Bathing suits are not allowed in most bars so wear your classy resort wear to be safe. Your best accessory is a smile because you're likely to make new friends while you're checking out the island's nightspots. It's also advisable to make dinner reservations.

The island's night activities may be laidback compared to that of Puerto Rico's and other islands' but for a small site, it is definitely one of the best places to seek enjoyment and fun. To party or to relax? That is the question you should ask yourself before you dive into the pleasures of Grand Cayman's night life.
