Antigua : NightLife
Ah, yes, the sun must take its rest, but you needn't turn in when it sets, because Antigua has a nightlife that makes up for its diminutive size with tremendous fun. Most nocturnal diversions are focused around the resorts, but there are party cruises and some colorful local spots, as well. When in doubt, you can always seek suggestions from your concierge, usually one of the most informative people in vacationland.
The Mad Mongoose:
This bar is, well, madly popular with singles and the yacht gang. Rasta colors splash the mood to life and a game room with a satellite TV entertains both doers and watchers. Falmouth Harbor
Abracadabra:
Like magic, now it's a restaurant, now it's a disco! Start your evening with the tasty antipasto misto, delicious homemade pastas, fresh seafood, and in the cozy traditional Italian restaurant. After dinner, the lights dim and - abracadabra! - the place transforms itself into a kinetic dance party! Move all night to the latest sounds and music videos on a giant 8-foot screen, or relax with a cool rum punch in the coconut palm garden. There are also many special events like live classical music and wine tastings, and jazz or reggae bands on the outdoor stage. English Harbour
Jump-Up at Shirley Heights:
and see if you can go the distance! These famous 6-hour dance parties have become a fixture of island culture and kick off at 4:00pm with steel drum music and a lavish barbecue. Later in the night, top reggae bands perform and keep the dancers jumping until 10:00pm. Drinks flow freely in this carnival atmosphere that you cannot miss and still claim to have fully experienced Antigua! Near English Harbour
Casinos
There are 2 full-service casinos and many one-arm-bandit halls around the island. King's Casino in Heritage Quay claims the world's largest slot machine in addition to gaming tables, and the St James Club at Mamora Bay is an elegant spot with European ambiance...the sort of place where James Bond would hang out.
Antigua Community Players:
This heroically versatile group performs the haunting, indigenous Antiguan/African Benna music, vigorous gospel recitals, and quite respectable productions of Gilbert and Sullivan! Changing Locations

This bar is, well, madly popular with singles and the yacht gang. Rasta colors splash the mood to life and a game room with a satellite TV entertains both doers and watchers. Falmouth Harbor
