A casual dinner vibe, generally with more lively energy than you will find at other restaurants, plus sunset views from their pier-like patio seating. A night at Hemingways will vary based on the crowd but with live music on Tuesdays with the vocals of Julian Garland and Fridays with the renowned guitar skills of Quinton Dean don't be surprised if you find yourself up to dance for a song or two as the evening carries on.

Perched in an enviable position over Chalk Sound, the views from Las Brisas always impress. Go for dinner at sunset to enjoy the colors and relaxing music several nights of the week. For music, think smooth jazz, soft rock, or chilled out reggae classics - creating a nice island vibe without taking over your dinner table conversation.

A favorite spot for locals, Ma’s is a great casual place for a quick bite or happy hour or hit Ma’s up in the evening for bottle service, shisha, lounging, and often a live DJ. Offering authentic Haitian cuisine + burgers + pizzas + tacos + wraps, there is something for everyone here - all at some of the best prices on the island. Check out their Taco Tuesday specials with a DJ after party and their Turn Up Saturday Caribbean Nights for great specials and live music.

Well-known local gem very close to Grace Bay serving some of the best Caribbean food on the island. Laid back spot for lunch or early evening that gets lively on the weekends, especially Thursdays as it is next to the grounds for the very busy Island Fish Fry. Go on Tuesday evenings to listen to Apple Astwood or Saturday evenings to enjoy music by Kaz Hall.

A floating tiki bar in the middle of the ocean about 15 minutes away from Provo – accessible only by water taxi, jet ski, or boat. Idyllic spot, great vibes, quality food, and a full bar (albeit pricey drinks). Chill experience most of the week, DJ + crowded party on Sunday. Lots of celebrity sightings. In the words of DJ Khaled, ‘I wanna go where Drake goes’

Get here on Saturday or Sunday afternoon and enjoy the reggae island vibes of Stanley Roots from 1-4pm. On the bay beach in Five Cays choose to sit on the expansive deck or if it is high tide, this is where you get to sit on a picnic table with your toes in turquoise water. With a great and reasonably priced menu of your island favorites including some damn fresh seafood, buckets of beer and good drinks, take a break from Grace Bay beach and come here for a wonderful, lazy lunch.

With arguably the island's best happy hour - with half off drinks every day from 5-7pm and some of the friendliest bartenders around - you will always find a good crowd here of tourists, expats, and locals a like. Set next to the pool at RWI, you will feel equally at home if you show up salty after a day at the beach or for a drink dressed for your dinner reservation after. Don't miss live music from 6-9 on Sundays (Apple Astwood).

Going to Rickie's is practically like saying you are headed to the beach. Shoes are optional and you can enjoy the ocean view from the tables or grab some cold beers and takeout and set up on the beach (beach chairs for hire too!). One of the few places on the beach run by locals - enjoy the laid back, truly island feel. Nothing moves that fast and that is the point. Check out some of the local vendors at the Cultural Market and enjoy the varying local musicians that pass through some afternoons and evenings.
