Negril & the West

Entertainment in Negril & The West

  1. A

    Jungle

    A happening disco and the only one you’ll find outside of an all-inclusive resort. It’s not the most urbane place, with its tacky decor, but the DJs definitely know what they’re doing; during the high season guest talent from Miami and New York regularly takes command of the turntables. The best nights are Thursday, when women enter free before midnight, and Saturday. There’s not much action before midnight.

    MXIII

    Negril’s reggae concerts are legendary, with live performances every night in peak season, when there’s sure to be some big talent in town. Several venues offer weekly jams, with a rotation system so they all get a piece of the action. The really big-name acts usually perform at MXIII and Hotel Samsara.

    Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville

    This most ostentatious of the beach bars sustains a spring-break vibe all year long. There are big-screen TVs, a basketball court, trampolines in the sea, volleyball, swing hammocks and multiple bars with entertainment. It hosts wet T-shirt contests and the like, and has nightly specials, including karaoke on Sunday.

    Pirate’s Cave

    A great hot spot for sunset, Pirate’s starts off a little more mellow than the nearby hotel bars but attracts more locals and gathers strength as the evening progresses.

  5. Mia’s Winebar

    This newcomer eschews the local focus on cocktails and beer (of course, you can get those too) and offers free internet access with each glass.

    The Sands

    Even if you can't afford to stay at Caves, you can still join sunset cocktails. Sadly, only guests are allowed to stay after 19:30.
