The entire West End...: Roatan, Honduras

by bobbynish

You can't tell by looking at the place, but its something out of a Rolling Stone article by Hunter S. Thompson... Crazed scuba divers on "holiday" roaming the streets, stoned, inhaling copious amounts of cocaine, drinking gallons of rum, and cases of Port Royal. Local men and women being searched by police for weapons upon entering the clubs on the West End. And lets not forget Coxen Hole, folks. One of the main towns on the island, it makes some ghettos of the world look like paradise. Needless to say, I wind up there at some random party at 2:00am with some locals I met at a bar that night, feeling quite jovial and confident I would live out the evening, but thats a whole other can of worms... The beauty of the island during the day has an underlying menace at night, not to mention unrelenting heat, humidity, and bugs that could devour you in minutes... But I must say, I did have...

Treetanic Bar: Utila - Treetanic Bar

by epicult

Up coco del mico road is a neat place on the left called the Treetanic bar. The bar is up in the trees (think tree fort with a blender... for big kids) has cool tables made from marbles (not marble), has bathrooms that are outta this world - it's a rarity for anyone to rave about any bathroom in Honduras - and provides different levels for you to escape down below, get busy with your significant other or just escape the music and people. Very cool.I love tree forts! It's hot up there. No shirt, no shoes... service!

Carlos N Charlies in Cozumel Mexico: Dancing The Night Away....

by Leniebill

Majority of cruise guests party at Carlos N Charlies before heading back to the ship for the next sail. We had a blast the last time we were there! We enjoyed sharing the dance floor with guests from other cruise lines. They played all kinds of music fom the ever famous YMCA, the 70's, 80's, reggae & blues. We had several friends in our group so we took over the dance floor. Everybody joined in & had fun themselves. I had the best pina colada & my friends had tequilas & margaritas. We headed back to the ship at 11:30pm, half hour before sailing to the next port of call. Anything that suits your taste! Wear your dancing shoes & outfit but be comfortable too.

Casino Caribe: Nightlife Alternative

by Joeymeyer

While in La Ceiba, visit Casino Caribe. It is located in La Zona Viva section of La Ceiba, next to Conrad's disco. The casino is new, clean, bright with murals on the walls and is full of poker machines, slot machines and a five player blackjack machine, with all the abilities of a Las Vegas table game. There is also a private area for high rollers.Free food and refreshments. A friendly atmosphere, well protected and American owners. U.S. dollars are used in the slots with a cashier to change lempires to dollars or vice versa with the best exchange rates in Honduras. Say hi to Joey - he is a wealth of information for tourists. Dress code is casual.

The road to the ruins in Copan: Moon in a blue sky

by alza

I was careless and started off a bit late from Copan centre to the ruins. They're only ten minutes away but it's best not to waste all day checking out everything in Copan or you'll reach the ruins at dark and then, no photos.Out of curiosity, I kept walking after the ruins and saw the sign by the small road for a big resort type hotel. It took me at least 10 minutes to walk up the drive so I made it all worth my while by spending an hour at the bar. The barman was very friendly and the hired musician who did his gig was fun too. A minivan filled with French people arrived and livened up the place a bit, but they didn't sing along. I knew all the words to the musician's songs and tried to encourage him, without going too far in case he'd think I was a bar fixture. I was surprised when the musician told me he lived in Montreal and was on a sort of contract at the resort. When he packed up...

PUNTA, MERENGUE, SALSA AND ROCK

by kiwigal_1

In Tela the main place to go in 1994 was Turicentro. This lovely place unfortunately burned down and was never re-built during my time in Honduras.Telamar had a marimba band that played on Friday and Saturday nights. Enigma is a very new place (I haven't been but my friends have recommended it) in town. Located on Subirana Avenue 4 blocks from the main street. Good music and atmosphere. Mango is another newer place with Internet, cinema, music and food. Located at what was the Garifuna Museum and open until 11pm. Occasionaly it is possible to see live performances of punta the dance of the Garifuna people. Punta music is also regularly played in most nightclubs.In SAN PEDRO SULA we used to go to the more expensive places to avoid unnecessary trouble. The place was called Confetis, located on the Circumvalacion before Texaco on the Bulevard that goes to Cortes. It cost 50 lempiras per...

Many: Garifuna Hangouts

by epicult

There are a few Garifuna hangouts in La Ceiba but for a more authentic look at Garifuna life/nightlife, check out the small Garifuna village across the lagoon from Palacios. These folks will get your *ss "movin' to the groovin'" whether you like it or not. I was sceptical at first in thinking this would become another 'tourist show' but it became evident that this was the real deal. These people love to dance! Once the music starts, the women from all over the village head towards the music, taking turns playing, singing and dancing to traditional Garifuna songs for hours. Be prepared to 'cut some rug' on the dance floor (usually someones kitchen). The party will probably continue long after you leave.Some of the percussive instrument are really cool including conch & turtle shell and many of nature's other percussive wonders.Although the Garifuna are everywhere, we only visited a few of...

Casa Medieval: Swanky restaurant/bar in Tegus

by Tatianaxanadu

This a gorgeous, very posh, newly opened place where i think you can eat (i was having a purely liquid dinner, so i have nothing to report on this ; ). Drinks are resonably priced and the bar is fully stocked (yay G&Ts!). There is a small dance floor which when i went (Saturday night) had a few couples who really knew what they were doing, so unfortunately it is not for clueless gringos who have two left feet and prefer to try out their moves in a darkened bar where everyone is too drunk to notice their crappiness. But if you want to watch some talented dancers tear up the floor, its totally worth it. The owner prefers old school salsa, so its great you want to listen to some quality latino music (ie. not mark anthony, eugh!) and enjoy some drinks in a comfortable environment. (also, for all you backpackers, if you are yearning for a beautiful, clean, flushing toilet, this is the place...

See below: Other Honduran Nightlife

by epicult

La Ceiba La Casona:Good karaoke and dance club - safe Expatriates:Good pub-style gringo bar. If you happen to be Canadian, be sure Mark the owner serves up a 'traditional' shot for you. The food is very good too. Utila Bush bar:Great place to people watch, meet heaps of fellow travelers. Only open FridaysCoco LocoGreat place to people watch, meet heaps of fellow travelers. The bar is 'on' a dock, over the water. Stay dry, jump in or dip your toes... the choice is yours. After a few too many, most simply try to keep from falling off. Always open. Loads of people dancing to groovy techno into the wee hours. Lifejacket optional.SunJamHappens in Mid July. Utila shuts down and one of the small cayes off the island becomes a 48 hour dance party. Anything goes. Roatan Lots of cool beach parties but most bars are full of iritating hookers. This place is similar to Jamaica. Locals 'know' how to...

El Bocalou: One Block from the Ocean Bars

by dawnpaz2000

If you like to just sit and listen to jute box music, or meet other travelers, or meet locals, this is the place. El Bocalou is one block from the ocean. There beer is cheap!! They only serve beer however, so those wanting hard alcohol need to go to another place. I find the place relaxing, but during Carnival or on the weekends, there are alot of people on the streets either hanging out here, or bar hopping as there are many other bars on this street. It´s an open bar with a grass hut covering. The music may get a little loud, but they usually play country or oldies-but-goodies There is no dress code
