Half Moon nightlife - dance, drink, have fun!
Nightlife is not guaranteed at Montego Bay's top hotels. In winter the restaurants and bars of the Ritz-Carlton or Half Moon have the most diverse amusements. After dark it's sleepy at Round Hill and Tryall. The following clubs attract mainly a crowd of 20- to 40-somethings. A highly visible and popular nightspot in Mo Bay is a two-in-one restaurant, Marguerite's Seafood by the Sea and Margueritaville Sports Bar & Grill, Gloucester Avenue, across from the Coral Cliff Hotel. It specializes in moderately priced seafood and margaritas served on a breezy terrace overlooking the sea. The sports bar and grill features a 33m (110-ft.) Hydroslide, live music, satellite TV, a sun deck, a CD jukebox, and a straightforward menu of seafood, sandwiches, pasta, pizza, salads, and snacks -- nothing fussy. What's our favorite down-home evening hangout in Montego Bay? It's Scotchies, Coral Gardens Main Highway (the A1), in Ironshore. Set behind a dusty-looking cement-block barrier, about 5km (3 miles) east of Montego Bay's town center, it's the place where after-office Jamaicans meet and greet one another in a setting that's well-lubricated with rum, jerk food, and music. A lot of friendships and romances have been sparked at this place. The thing that surprises us the most about it is its setting, behind a masonry wall that's coated with the dust of a nearby construction project. Kenny Rogers and jazz singer Alicia Keys have both been spotted here, along with a healthy mixture of local residents and hip tourists. A half-pound portion of jerk pork, chicken, or sausage costs J$350 (US$5.60); a half-pound portion of jerk fish goes for J$300 (US$4.80). Red Stripes cost J$80 (US$1.30), and a portion of roasted breadfruit, yams, or sweet potatoes, J$100 (US$1.60) each. MasterCard and Visa are both accepted. Technically, the place opens every day around 2pm, shuffling along on a low-key level until 6pm, when it gets crowded. It's packed by around 8:30pm, when there's some kind of live music performed. The joint usually closes by 2am. The newest and most deliberately upscale bar in Montego Bay is Nikkita's, on Gloucester Avenue. Much of its creative forces are lavished on the restaurant which is attached to this bar, but since the bar does a healthy and sometimes bustling business in its own right, many people come here just for a cocktail or two amid a dark-paneled decor that might have been lifted intact from a stylish watering hole in San Francisco or London. Rum punches cost $4.50 each; a shot of Jack Daniels costs $8. It's open daily from 6pm until 3am.
