Nightlife In Antigua & Barbuda
Some of the larger hotels provide dancing, calypso, steel bands, limbo dancers and nighttime barbecues. Hotel-hopping is one of the recommended ways to enjoy nightlife.
Here are some of the favorite night spots:

Kon Tiki Bar is a unique spot to enjoy cold beverages with sea views, floating in the waters of Dickenson Bay. Its hosts will happily pick you up in their dinghy. With its thatched roof and wooden deck, this rustic place has bucketloads of charm.
King’s Casino is one of several casinos where you can try your luck in Antigua. You’ll find it in St John’s, close to the cruise ship terminal. It boasts around 350 slot machines, one of which claims to be the world’s largest. Named Colossus, offers a substantial $50,000 prize pot.
Abracadabra is a popular disco venue in Antigua that’s been around since the 1980s. Regulars affectionately refer to it as Abras.
