Honiara Entertainment

  1. Bula Bar

    There are a few hotspots that deliver earbusting tunes and hot-and-sweaty dancing. They are rather naff by Western standards but after a few weeks spent in other provinces, you'll find them almost happening. Fridays and Saturdays are the liveliest nights but sometimes it can be pretty quiet for no apparent reason. Music-wise, expect an eclectic mix of island and Western hits. One of the best places to showcase your à la John Travolta (or Olivia Newton-John) dance style is Bula Bar.

  3. Club Paradise

    The very raucous Club Paradise, right in the centre, is best avoided.

  5. Lime Lounge

    A godsend when it's sweltering hot, thanks to industrial-strength air-con, and it's the premier place in the centre to indulge in chilled liquid treats such as bush lime, juices and smoothies. Good coffee too. Wi-fi.

  6. Point Cruz Yacht-Club

    Hands down, this is the coolest spot in town to sink a Solbrew and the best place to hear the local goss. It's the gathering place for yachties, expats, aid workers and local punters. The whole place is to be fully redesigned and it should be completed by the time you read this. Wi-fi. At the end of the night, take a cab to get back to your hotel.
