Southern Belize

Entertainment in Southern Belize

  1. A

    Roxy Club

    To quote a pair of Dangriga-based Peace Corps volunteers: 'The Roxy is a good place. Stumpy and Penny are very friendly, and Penny makes great panatas (small fish-filled fried tortillas), three for a dollar.' It's at the north end of the city, about three blocks north of the police station in Harlem Sq.

    Pickled Parrot

    This thatched-roof Caribbean-style bar and restaurant a block from the ocean has been a popular spot for locals and tourists alike for 15 years.

    Bukut Bar

    It's hard to say exactly when the transformation takes place – certainly well after sundown – but when PG is dark, its hippest new eatery, Earth Runnins', becomes its coolest bar, where homemade cocktails are served and local music (sometimes live) can be heard.

    Titiman’s Culture House

    Poots ‘Titiman’ Flores is a local Dangriga legend. His laid-back club – located on an unmarked country road two blocks southwest of the Drums of Our Fathers Monument – is a great place to chill out and get down with serious Garifuna culture.

  5. Club Rivera

    Formerly called Club Griga, Club Rivera usually has live bands on Friday and Saturday night, featuring punta rock and other types of music. It gets a bit of a crowd for midweek karaoke sessions, but things really start jumping at the Friday and Saturday dances.

    Salty Dog Saloon

    This very chilled bar, connected to the Spirit Wind cabanas, has the most Jimmy Buffet vibe in Dangriga, though it is a bit out of town. To find it, call or follow the signs for the Salty Dog Saloon beginning on Ecumenical Dr around North Stann Creek.

    Tipsy Tuna Sports Bar

    Occasional live bands spice up the program at Placencia's shiniest bar, featuring pool tables, big-screen TV and a concrete apron spreading onto the sands. A fun-loving crowd gathers most nights, and happy hour runs from 7pm to 8pm.

    PG Sports Bar

    A good-sized, fairly standard bar, incongruously enhanced by a staggering collection of US sports photos and posters. There's usually a DJ or live music on Friday and Saturday.

    J-Byrds

    This dockside bar can get pretty lively with locals and visitors, especially at the Friday dance party (9pm to 2am).

    This piece of earth with a thatched roof, no walls and a mainly local clientele can be a lot of fun.

    Yoli's

    This covered bar over the water is especially popular on Sundays, when sea air, spirits and libations mix with the smells of ribs and chicken coming off Yoli's BBQ grill.

    Purple Space Monkey

    The newest incarnation of this perennially 'under-new-management' Placencia landmark swings most nights, with reggae and drinks in a setting of hot pink, lemony yellows and key lime. Friday night is karaoke night, and there's live entertainment on weekends.

    Olympic Bar and Grill

    The latest hotspot with the PG expat crowd serves ice-cold beers, spicy-hot wings, homemade ice cream, and snacks galore. Alvan and Yvette Vernon also do catering for group functions, including snacks, pastries and local delicacies.

    Barefoot Bar

    Placencia's most happening spot for drinking and entertainment, the Barefoot Bar has live music five nights a week, fire dancing on Wednesdays, full-moon parties and more. Happy hours are from 5pm to 6pm, with bitters and cheap rum. Stiff drinks, tasty food and good times.

  17. Waluco's

    If you're wondering where everybody is on Saturday or Sunday afternoon, they're probably out at this big, breezy palapa a mile northeast of town, swimming off the pier, enjoying the BBQ and knocking back a few Belikins. It's normally open Tuesday to Saturday evenings, too, and Garifuna drummers often play here.

    Wadini Shed

    One thatched roof, no walls and a mainly local clientele make this a great spot to have a stout and get down with Dangriga culture. Though busier at night, you'll find a good crowd here during the day as well.
