Me and some guests from our Hotel went to Harbour Lights open-air beachfront club. One of the island's most popular, tropical and trendy night clubs. With its live music it was really good fun dancing on the sand, but very tiring.
Dress Code: Check as they do special events each week.

I've read many reviews that St Lawrence Gap is the place to be and be seen on any night in Barbados. Out hotel (Southern Palms) was based at the quieter end of the Gap and we really weren't that keen on the Gap.
Across the road from our hotel were some nice gift shops and some nice restuarants..that were quiet and quite relaxing. We went there every night of our weeks holiday.
We ventured further down the Gap on a couple of occasions and refused to go down there on day 3 or 4 of our holiday. You simply get hassled by gobby and loud mouthed Bajans wanting something for nothing or you're expected to hear them ramble on for hours at such speed you can't even understand what they're saying.
There's one chap who hangs out down there all day called 'Fox' and after telling you about the colours of a bracelet, he'll then ask you to buy him a burger.
Also there's another one who is loud tall and looks like a horse who talks about good and bad habbits...best to avoid the place unless you want to get aggrevated by people talking although you can't even understand them!

My first stop here was in 1998. Ever since this time, I make it my first stop, in between stop and end stop! Wednesday nights are fantastic! Atmosphere, food and even the drinks will have you wanting to come back every time! There is live Steel Drums and Limbo Dancers who also get the crowd involved. The music by the DJ is driving and reaches your soul. When you stop in, tell Armstrong that Tallee sent you!
Dress Code: Be clean and be ready to have the time of your life!

Barbados has everything from local bars, small secluded restraunts, private clubs, casinos, nightclubs, cruise dining, old time dance halls to burger/grill bars. there is something to please everyone on this tiny island. most events are well advertised. you can take in a night of jazz, reggae, steel drums, hip hop. what ever you desire, you will find it all. BBQ nights are cheap and cheerful, usually held over the weekends. Or you may want to dictate the sounds, in which case there are kareoky bars, and traditional pubs with duke boxes. what ever your taste- enjoy!
Dress Code: Long trousers are expacted for men on an evening and smart/casual for the ladies. use common sence- would you be allowed to enter a casino in your home town wearing shorts, flip flops and donning a bare chest? Hotel staff are very helpful, if you say where you are heading for they will advise you as to formal or casual. Even if you are staying at your hotel for the evening you will be expected to change from your beach wear, even just to prop up the bar!

Just about the best place to have a good time at St Lawrence Gap has to be the REGGAE LOUNGE.
There are special theme nights and live PAs and guest DJs. I attended on a thursday night in October to witness international reggae star Frankie Paul.
DJs from all over the world come to play at the REGGAE LOUNGE but resident DJ Adrian mixes a great range of tracks to get you on to the dancefloor. I am sure I even heard "how deep is your love?" and "hips dont lie" -so not just reggae and dancehall!
On Monday its $25 and as much drink/cocktails as you like! Staff and management greet you with that welcoming Bajan smile and good humour.
Dress Code: No dress code - less is best!

The gap, as it is referred to by the locals, is a long street with a multitude of restaurants, bars, and small shops/vendors that is great for anyone looking to get a feel for the Barbados nightlife. Not much is going on there in the early evening, but by nightfall the place becomes busy and full of people looking to have a good time. Have your cab driver drop you off at one end and just walk the street to the other end. Along the way, stop at the restaurants and read the menus located outside the door to find exactly what you are looking for. Most of the bars are open air... have a seat at the railing, enjoy a drink and soak up the atmosphere while people watching. Be careful walking along the road as it is very narrow and winding, with cars and taxis making their way through the crowds.
Dress Code: Casual attire seemed appropriate for most places, no swimsuits or shirtless men, but shorts were the norm.
