St. Barts Nightlife

Nightlife

For many visitors, St. Barths’ nightlife consists of a leisurely gourmet dinner capped by a Cubano and a cognac, armagnac, or aged rum. Yet there are several delightful spots – casual to cosmopolitan – to savor a sunset cocktail or after-dinner liqueur, often to the accompaniment more of slinky cabaret singers or pianists. And of course, we know the coolest hotspots where, occasionally, a famous bod might dance on the table.

Bar B. Q.
This is the spot for genuine Spanish and southwestern tapas such as coriander-garlic shrimp and Serrano ham, not to mention gigantic wooden platters piled high with American-style ribs. The bar is popular for its terrific mojitos and large-screen plasma TV broadcasting sporting events.

Nikki Beach
The A-list makes a beeline to St. Barts version of the super-hot club chain, which is arguably the island’s most hedonistic, exclusive, decadent, and outrageous. The space comes complete with split-level decks, tiki huts, and four-poster beds to encourage intimacy. Staffers are quite possibly more gorgeous than the model crowd.

La Plage
Beautiful lacquered, carved tables and billowing gauzy curtains in vivid reds, blues, and yellows provide shade and flair in this très chic locale. Every day from 2pm on DJs spin Euro-pop, disco, funk, and soca for an effortlessly cool, relatively laid-back crowd.

This drink spot is also a favorite of French visitors for its delicious, runny croque monsieurs – the perfect late-night snack-cum-breakfast.

Le Ti St-Barth
This spot is so festive that noise ordinance violations mandated earlier closings (they now close around 4am), although the ambiance (think Paris Hilton-esque frat party) remains. Theme nights are huge (the Moroccan-themed Marrakech Party was a recent hit) and mid-dinner fashion shows are regular. The food is mediocre, but the live music is energetic, the décor sultry, and the crowd young and racy.

Bar'Tô
This lounge hotspot’s DJ invariably hits the right notes for the attractive 30-something crowd. Light supper and dessert menus are available from the superb Bartolomeo restaurant next door. The elegant décor mixes colors, textures, and lighting to flattering seductive effect.

Bête à Z'ailes
This hotspot (aka BAZ) features live entertainment, tapas, sushi, and inventive cocktails; the action’s right on the deck – so close to the adjacent yachts that it almost feels like you can eavesdrop.
