In-Depth Information
friendly staff, kava sessions, guitar playing and a decent selection of beers, wines and spirits,
as well as good Fijian food to soak it up. Daily 10am-late.
Ed's Bar Queens Rd, Martintar 672 4650; map . Unchallenged as Nadi's only trendy
night spot for at least twenty years, this place is popular with more affluent locals and it's still
a great place to meet over a F$4 beer early on, or to shuffle onto the packed dancefloor as the
night progresses. Bouncers try to keep a tight lid on things and there's occasional live music,
when admission is F$5. Daily 5pm-5am.
Ghostship Bar Smugglers Cove Resort, Wailoaloa Beach 672 6578, smugglersbeach-
fiji.com ; map . Delightful spot for a quiet afternoon beer, with wooden tables beside the
beach, ocean breezes, sunset views and happy hour from 5pm to 7pm. Every night there's
musical entertainment from Tai and the Kavaholics, plus Polynesian and Fijian hulas and
knife and fire-dancing shows. Daily 10am-11pm.
Hard Rock Café Port Denarau 675 0032; map . Hard Rock's 126th outlet features the usual
international rock memorabilia - though disappointingly no mention of any Fijian musicians.
Staff are the hippest in town, ensuring a lively atmosphere. There's draught beer for F$4.50
and decent but expensive hamburgers and nibbles. Daily 11am-11pm.
Hemisphere Bar 7 Queens Rd, Namaka 672 8638, bulaccino.com ; map . Set at the back
of the popular Bulaccino café, the garden-set Hemisphere Bar is a classy spot for an even-
ing drink, with cocktails and imported wines and beers, plus a tapas-style food menu. Daily
11am-11pm.
