The Club Scene

The club scene in Cayman is not supersized by any big city standards, but many of Cayman's hot spots still offer a hoppin' good time with experienced DJs, great live bands, inventive mixologists and of course, a fun loving crowd.

Note: Cayman observes a day of rest on Sunday, so bars and restaurants stop serving alcohol at midnight on Saturday. Dine-in beverages continue with Sunday morning brunch openings across the island, and select retail locations now sell alcohol on Sundays for limited hours.

Live Music Scene

Cayman has a dynamic and diverse music scene. Some great spots for live music include Kaibo, Ms. Piper’s, Next Door, Union Grill & Bar, The Hive, Tortuga Beach Bar and the Wyndham Reef Resort. Download the What’s On Cayman app for more details.

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, tennis, basketball, boxing, NFL or a UFC match, Cayman is not short of good sports bars.

Salty’s, Karoo, Legendz, Craft F&B Co, Fidel Murphy’s, 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.
