BERMUDA
AFTER DARK
As we mentioned already, nightlife is not one of the
compelling reasons to go to Bermuda, although
there is some after-dark action, mainly in the sum-
mer. If you visit during the winter, we trust you'll be content
to nurse a drink in a pub.

In the summer, activity seems to float from hotel to hotel, which makes it
hard to predict which pub or nightspot will have the best steel-drum or
calypso band at any given time. Many pubs feature singalongs at the
piano, a popular form of entertainment in Bermuda. Most of the big
hotels offer shows after dinner, with combos filling in between shows for
couples who like to dance.
The island's visitor centers and most hotels distribute free copies of
such publications as
Preview Bermuda,
Bermuda Weekly,
and
This Week in
Bermuda,
which list the latest scheduled activities and events. There's a
calendar of events in the
Bermudian,
sold at most newsstands.
You can also tune in to the local TV station, which constantly broad-
casts information for visitors, including details on cultural events and
nightlife offerings around the island. From 7am to noon daily, radio station
1160 AM (VSB) broadcasts news of Bermuda's cultural and entertain-
ment events.
THE CLUB & MUSIC SCENE
Paget Parish
Deep Lounge & Nightclub
Even if you're not a guest of Elbow
Beach Resort, this is still a good place to relax and lounge around in the
evening, enjoying a cool change of pace from the beach. In a sophisticated
setting, you can sit on deep leather sofas, enjoying the subdued lighting
and the recorded music. Light snacks are also available until midnight
from the limited bar menu. Friday is usually a big night here when a more
expanded lounge menu is offered from 9:30pm to 1am.

With a name more evocative of the Caribbean than of
Bermuda, this restaurant has two of the most active bars in town, both
with prices that are relatively reasonable for high-priced Bermuda. It
