Entertainment in Suva

  1. A

    O'Reillys

    O'Reillys kicks the evening off in relatively subdued fashion - relaxed punters playing pool or watching sport on the numerous TVs. But it brews quite a party as the hours tick by and come 11ish the place is generally throbbing with a gleeful crowd of locals and travellers. There's no distinct age code, and backpackers, foreign contractors, locals and expats fill the dance floor, shaking their bits to Europop, soft metal, techno, peppy country and western…basically anything that keeps the crowd moving.

    Forget warm pints of Guinness; the only Irish quality about O'Reillys (aside from the name) is that it's enough fun to knock your socks off.

    Traps Bar

    Something of a subterranean saloon bar, Traps is one of Suva's best drinking holes. Take a seat in the pub-like pool room with wide-screen TV (yes with sports) or join the happy din at the main bar, which also features a vibrant dance floor. The crowd is generally young and trendy, but not pretentious. Live music is frequent as are Bob Marley sing-alongs.

    Purple Haze Nightclub

    Inflatable aliens, neon planets and a wall mural suggesting 'Purple Haze is the best nightclub in the universe' fit in quite nicely at this eccentric club. Fijian and Hindi pop and R'n'B pump out of the speakers at intergalactic decibels; it's gay-friendly.

  4. Royal Suva Yacht Club Bar

    The Royal Suva Yacht Club Bar is a popular watering hole for yachties and locals and has great views of the Bay of Islands and the mountains, including Joske's Thumb. Even without a yacht, overseas visitors are welcome and can be signed in.

    Birdland R&B Club

    This underground bar looks like a jazz and blues den and the smoky air certainly adds the appropriate bouquet but the live music is mostly in the form of rock, played loudly on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.

    Barn

    It's a rugged, country-and-western bar with live music nightly except Sunday and Monday. Music is country with a bit of pop and reggae thrown in for good measure. The cowboy crowd is a little older.
