If you are looking for a great place to eat and drink while watching your favorite team in action, head to a local pub or bar. Whether you are looking for a place with a true laid-back island flavor, a place to watch a big boxing or football match with your mates or somewhere to play some pool or dance in the back room you will find such a place in Bermuda. Of all the varied dining experiences in Bermuda, none can equal the “English pub” for an informal atmosphere where you are likely to find authentic pub meals and beer on draught in an atmosphere of rich décor, entertainment on weekends and vibrant camaraderie.
If you want something a bit more low key, the wine bars and lounges are ideal for a night out with friends or equally on a date. A new generation discovers the pleasures of swirling glasses of Bordeaux, sniffing the latest Reisling, or sipping a new vintage that has just hit the market. The best Bermuda wine bars combine atmosphere with an in-depth knowledge about wine.
While many bars have their own DJs or live entertainment, Bermuda has a few nightclubs for those who want to dance into the wee hours, although they are in Bermuda. In the summer, locals and visitors alike flock to various venues on Friday nights for the happy hour parties or book a sunset boat cruises that usually go into the evening.
