night life in bermuda …

Once sunlit Bermuda days draw to a close and the island takes on its canopy of moon and stars, the island’s nightlife begins. Bars, either in restaurants and hotels or as separate establishments in Hamilton, St. George’s and Dockyard, offer happy hours, and often night music into the early hours. Sometimes the music emanates from one musician, a pianist perhaps, who offers discreet accompaniment to the relaxed exchange of conversation.  But other times the music can be the evening’s focus with live bands playing SOCA, R&B and all kinds of jazz, an enticement for their audience to dance the night away. Or guests can dance to the hottest selections of our local DJs. Night entertainment can also extend to our beaches with parties on Horseshoe Bay, for example, being regular occurrences organised by our Department of Tourism. Night cruises around the Great Sound are another option for those who want a romantic evening.
   The dress code is not as formal as it used to be but it is definitely smart casual. Some establishments forbid entrance to those wearing jeans or sneakers. While Bermuda is relatively safe, you should practise the normal precautions dictated by common sense. Keep handbags secured, don’t walk alone late at night and avoid drinking and driving.
