A
Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville
This popular place claims to have ‘put the hip into the Hip Strip’. Who would have thought that anything to do with Jimmy Buffett could obtain a cachet of cool? Ignoring the sleeping patterns of the strip’s many hotel guests, outrageously loud music is pumped into the air until the moment before dawn. Four open-air bars, 15 big-screen TVs and dance floors on decks that overhang the water offer plenty of diversion until the wee hours. If that’s not enough excitement, there’s a waterslide to carry revelers through the plumbing to flush them ignominiously into the ocean near a floating trampoline.

Jamaican Bobsled Café
This watering hole makes a good-natured attempt to capitalize on everybody’s favorite fish-out-of-water story – the Jamaican bobsled team immortalized in the film Cool Runnings, which is in a perpetual loop on a corner screen. It’s a good spot for grabbing one of the many rum-based concoctions and watching the hullabaloo along the strip, a sight more engaging than watching John Candy.

C
Mobay Proper
Attracting a young local crowd, this exuberant bar serves libations on the terrace and has decent Jamaican cooking. Beneath a ‘chandelier’ of Heineken bottles, the pool table generates considerable heat, while dominoes are the rage with an older crowd out on the patio. On Friday night there’s a fish fry and vintage reggae, and live jazz rings in each new month on the first Sunday.
