O Bar In a two-story shopping plaza off West Bay Road, this night-
club is the only one in the Caribbean that 's open w eeknights and
closed on Saturday and Sunday. Located immediately adjacent to the
Attic B illiard Lounge (p . 153), it 's a large, glossy , terra-cotta-and-
black space with an industrial-looking steel stair case that leads to a
hideaway lounge. There's been a concerted effort here to appeal to the
island's hip , urbaniz ed, and tr end-conscious yuppies, with DJs
imported from faraway New York, and a focus on bringing in cutting-
edge music. Look for lots of cir cle motifs in the decor (hence the
name “O Bar”). Beer costs around CI$5 a mug, and cocktails go for
CI$7 each. The club is open M onday to F riday from 5pm to 1am,
Saturday to Sunday 1pm to midnight. In the Queen's Court Plaza, West
Bay Rd. & 345/943-6227. www.obar.ky. Cover CI$5.
Royal Palms Beach Club Opening onto Seven Mile Beach, this
is one of the premier live-music venues for islanders and visitors. The
bar, open to the trade winds, is a gr eat place to dance in the moon-
light. We recommend the on-site r estaurant, the Reef Grill (p. 91),
but many patr ons choose to dine else where before coming her e for
the r est of their ev ening out. O n Thursday, F riday, and S aturday
nights, liv e bands play calypso, light r eggae, salsa, and mer engue,
among other music styles. The club caters to a wide age gr oup, from
those in their 20s and 30s to those beyond 50. The bar opens daily at
9am and stays open until 11pm, though the action doesn't get under-
way until 8:30pm. The club closes as late as 1am on F riday and Sat-
urday and at 10pm throughout the week. West Bay Rd. & 345/945-6358.
