Duffy's Love Shack
BAR
(
www.duffysloveshack.com
;
Red Hook)
Almost every night of the week is a party scene
here, but the crowd overflows into the parking lot on Ladies Night (Wednesday) and Fri-
day. Saturday features themes like Bathrobe Night. Driving rock & roll fuels this crowd of
under-30 continentals and travelers who pursue the rites of spring with bottomless gusto.
Duffy's hosts a whopping party the Friday closest to the full moon each month. Happy hour
sets the mood from 3pm to 6pm daily.
Latitude 18
LIVE MUSIC
(
www.latitude18usvi.com
;
Vessup Bay Marina)
Latitude 18 is a down-and-dirty sailors'
bar. Most nights of the week there is live music, when island legends like Mighty Whitey,
Dick Solberg (also called the Fiddler) and the Sun Mountain Band show up to play acous-
tic, rock, bluegrass, country and folk. Open-mike nights (usually Tuesday) with Mighty
Whitey are a hoot - and so is the crowd. Just picture every character you have ever heard
about in a Jimmy Buffett ballad.
XO Bar & Bistro
BAR
(RedHook)
XO gets going on weekends, when middle-aged continentals out for a night on
the town stop in for cigars and martinis against a background of progressive jazz CDs. The
crowd gets younger after midnight, when you find owners, managers and employees from
other local businesses drifting in to stir up the party. Bands play Wednesday and Sunday.
