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. Happy hour – with half-priced rum drinks – runs from 5pm to 6pm, and Tuesday night is darts night, with bar-tab credit being awarded to high scorers.

  3. 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 new bar, where homemade cocktails are served and local music (sometimes live) 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, with pool tables, big-screen TV and a concrete apron spreading onto the sands. A fun-loving crowd gathers most nights. Happy hour is 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).

    Recreation Center

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