If views of a harbor dotted with luxurious yachts paired with a chic lounge vibe is your idea of a perfect night out, then St. Thomas Social is the place for you. St. Thomas Social is well known for its modern Caribbean cuisine, earning a 2024 OpenTable Diners’ Choice Award. Its cocktails are also noteworthy, mixed with top-of-the-line spirits and house-made ingredients. Try the Guava Colada Fizz, made with local white rum, coconut cream, prosecco and guava puree.

bliss bar & Night club stt
Celebrate every night of the week at Bliss Bar & Night Club STT in St. Thomas. Local DJs play soca and dance hall music that brings out the inner dancer in everyone. Drink specials are a given, ranging from $5 Hennessy sour and Tito’s vodka shots to a selection of $10 cocktails. Hookahs are available, too. Dress to impress or keep it casual at this laid-back club where nonstop dancing is the focus.
Duffy’s love shack
For nearly 25 years, Duffy’s Love Shack has been serving up its unique version of island-inspired entertainment. While Duffy’s calls itself “the best parking lot bar in the world,” that doesn’t do this Red Hook spot justice. Happy hour is held daily from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., while Mondays are all about specially priced margaritas. Come on Thursday evening for live entertainment. Any night of the week, you can enjoy this indoor-outdoor joint’s fun tiki drinks (share the Flaming Volcano) and decor. Order one of Duffy’s shots and take home the glass as a souvenir.
the tap & still
A trifecta of burgers, booze and beer have earned The Tap & Still countless fans and three USVI locations, each offering its own easy island ambiance. At the Red Hook outpost that means a harborside setting with gently bobbing boats, as well as sports on the TV screens. Burgers can be customized with a variety of toppings, while the fries are always freshly cut. Be sure to side your burger with a pint of The Tap & Still’s own Rock City Brewing Company beer. Daily happy hours attract a lively crowd, including the occasional rooster wandering around the patio. Don’t miss the concerts and karaoke nights.
island time pub
From its second-story perch, Island Time Pub provides the perfect spot to take in picturesque American Yacht Harbor views. An added bonus is the large selection of handcrafted pizzas (try the chicken alfredo version). Happy hour is daily from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., with wallet-friendly brews and well drinks. In between bites of pizza and sips of beer, be sure to check out the kitschy items covering the ceiling, ranging from license plates to well-worn buoys. Stop by on Wednesday and Thursday nights for live music.
FRENCHTOWN brewing
Taking its name from the quaint fishing village it calls home, Frenchtown Brewing has been wowing islanders and visitors alike with its small-batch, tap-only beers since 2015. Discover what makes their Hop Alley IPA and Belgian-style Frenchie Farmhouse Saison so special during a weekday brewery tour and tasting. Grab some brew to go in a 32-ounce crowler or look for Frenchtown Brewing beers at local bars.
the jungle night club
Local DJs are the stars at The Jungle Night Club, which spotlights some of the island’s top spinning talent. Thursdays offer throwback grooves and $5 Tito’s vodka or Hennessy sour shots. On Friday nights, ladies get special treatment with half-priced drinks from 8 p.m. to midnight. On Saturdays, everybody gets in on the fun during happy hour from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Be sure to wear your dancing shoes and come ready to move.

Enjoy quintessential island nightlife with tropical drinks and bites, as your toes are dipped in the sand, at Sapphire Beach Bar. This two-story oasis offers fruity frozen drinks (like the Guava Freeze made with lemon Deep Eddy Vodka) and casual eats such as its signature fish tacos. Turquoise waters and powdery white sand serve as the backdrop for live music performances on Sundays. Full moon nights get special attention here, with a monthly party featuring fire dancers and plenty of music. Or stop in for the daily happy hour from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
