Note: Cayman observes a religious day of rest on Sunday, so bars and restaurants stop serving alcohol at midnight on Saturdays. Also, smoking indoors is banned in all bars, restaurants and public places. The exception is cigar bars. Please be aware of your surroundings when you are out late at night and never drink and drive. Driving while intoxicated is a punishable offense in the Cayman Islands. (The police often conduct random checks on weekends to deter drunk driving.)

Live Music Scene

Cayman has a dynamic and diverse music scene. Some great spots for live music include: Abacus, Anchor & Den, bàcaro, Kaibo, Ms. Piper's, Pane & Pasta, Next Door, Union Grill & Bar and Tortuga Beach Bar.

Cigar Bars

For the perfect casual cigar scene and a wonderful range of quality cigars, Backroom in Regency Court boasts an expansive cocktail list and Cuban cigar selection, and Stogies Cigar Bar, across from George Town waterfront, offers a selection of spirits and cigars. You can also smoke a hand-rolled Cuban cigar at Grand Old house.

Sports Bars

Whether you are looking to catch a football, rugby, cricket, tennis, hockey or a UFC match, Cayman is not short of good sports bars.

Salty’s, Karoo, Legendz, Craft F&B Co, Fidel Murphy’s, Lone Star, All Stars and PD's Pub, all televise the games on big screens with great food, comfortable seating and good service.

Keep in mind that you might want to reserve a table when there is a big game on or a major sporting event as these areas do get crowded and wait time for a seat may be up to an hour.

Mixology

The art of mixing the perfect cocktail is highly regarded on-Island. Luckily, bars and restaurants rise to the occasion, creating wonderful, innovative concoctions. We even have a whole week dedicated to the art of the cocktail every October for Cayman Cocktail Week.

Try Anchor & Den for their gin-centric, apothecary-inspired cocktails and chilled ‘lounge’ vibe, bàcaro for their hand-crafted cocktails and delectable small plates, Door No. 4 at The Grove for innovative tastes as well as recreations of old-time classics, and Next Door in Camana Bay for a speakeasy-style bar and cocktails inspired by the Island. Fusion Mixology is a professional bartender service for all your event needs.
