The Best Nightlife

If you're a serious party animal, you'll want to avoid St. John and most places in the British Virgin Islands, and concentrate on St. Thomas and St. Croix. Below are the latest hot spots:

  • The Old Mill (St. Thomas; tel. 340/776-3004): This is the newest and largest entertainment complex in all of the Virgin Islands. Everything is here, from the island's best sports bar to its most posh and elegant wine and champagne spot.

  • Turtle Rock Bar (St. Thomas; tel. 340/777-7100): This place, near Red Hook, is known for its burgers and bar scene. There's always something going on, whether it's karaoke or live shows by steel bands or other local talent. Happy hour, from 4 to 6pm, means half-price cocktails.

  • The Buccaneer (St. Croix; tel. 800/255-3881 or 340/773-2100): This deluxe hotel has the best nightlife on the island. Call to see what's going on during your visit; it could be anything from a limbo show to live reggae.

  • Blue Moon (St. Croix; tel. 340/772-2222): On Thursday and Friday nights, this little dive/bistro is the hottest spot in Christiansted. The crowd here is predominantly local, with a few savvy visitors thrown into the mix.

  • Divi Carina Bay Casino (St. Croix; tel. 340/773-9700): At the Divi Carina Bay Resort, this glittering casino has introduced gambling to the U.S. Virgin Islands for the first time (if you don't count the island's buccaneering days). Built in the midst of a raging controversy over gambling, the 10-million-square-foot casino boasts 12 gaming tables and 275 slot machines. Even though it's very touristy, the casino has become a hot spot for both locals and visitors.

  • Bomba's Surfside Shack (Tortola; tel. 284/495-4148): This is one of the most famous bars in the West Indies and the most interesting hangout in the British Virgin Islands. Bomba's decor consists of junk and neon graffiti. The rum punches are always flowing, and the hippest people in town show up here, especially for the notorious all-night Full Moon Parties.
