St. Croix nightlife: Bars, live music & late-night spots
When the sun dips below the horizon, St. Croix lights up the late-night fun at boardwalk bars, dance clubs and laid-back beach hangouts. Wander the lively waterfronts and winding streets of Christiansted and Frederiksted to discover the St. Croix hot spots that make up the island’s exciting nightlife scene.
Christiansted (Downtown/ Boardwalk/Company Street)
Hotel Caravelle Casino
Perched on the Christiansted waterfront, the Hotel Caravelle casino glows with the multicolor lights of slot machines and lively weekend crowds. Expect DJs, theme nights and sweeping harbor views just steps from the action on St. Croix. It’s a polished but friendly spot where guests are welcome to dress island casual to sip cocktails, play classic and modern slots, and enjoy weekly entertainment in the hotel courtyard.
Common Cents Pub
Tucked along Company Street, Common Cents Pub feels like a cozy neighborhood pub with a Caribbean twist. Grab a burger and wings, enjoy cocktail specials and kick back on the open-air patio. Trivia and bingo nights, sports playing on TVs, karaoke, live music on Fridays and a great tap list are all part of the fun.
The Deep End Bar & Grill
Set beside the oceanfront pool at Tamarind Reef Resort, The Deep End Bar & Grill is a casual gathering place accented by sea breezes and twinkling lights. Arrive early to dine on burgers or fresh seafood like the snapper sandwich, then stay for the entertainment. Expect live bands, karaoke and theme nights. The popular Friday night Caribbean show features fire dancers, moko jumbies, limbo and line dancing. It’s the perfect spot for an evening by the water.
Levels
Above the Christiansted Boardwalk, Levels offers a sleek lounge with nightclub energy — LED lighting, VIP tables and a rotating lineup of local artists and DJs spinning reggae, soca, dancehall and Top 40. Its balcony overlooks Christiansted’s nightlife scene, and the cocktails keep the dance floor moving until early morning on the weekends.
Serenity’s Nest
Part lounge, part cultural hideaway, Serenity’s Nest resembles a secret garden bar. Soft lighting, tropical greenery and open-air seating create a mellow, bohemian vibe. Expect spoken-word performances, movie nights, concerts, creative cocktails and pop-up food vendors. Serenity’s Nest is an intimate alternative to Christiansted’s high-energy boardwalk scene.
Sylvie’s Place
For authentic local flavor, head to Sylvie’s Place on the North Shore. The casual Christiansted bar is known for its cold beer, strong rum drinks and friendly conversation. Order one of the kitchen’s dinner plates overflowing with baked pork, chicken or fish accompanied by seasoned rice, tossed salad and mac ’n’ cheese. The interior is simple and lively, with music spilling out onto the street. It’s the go-to for an unpretentious night out with the locals.
Frederiksted/West End
Coconuts Night Club
Coconuts Night Club is Frederiksted’s late-night heartbeat, with colorful lights, booming speakers and a high-energy crowd that loves to dance. Expect soca, dancehall, Latin hits and theme parties that run late into the night. It’s tropical, trendy and perfect for anyone ready for a full dance-floor experience.
Lost Dog Pub
A quirky local hangout near the waterfront, Lost Dog Pub features pizza that’s legendary on the West End. Inside, dim lighting and vintage signs create a relaxed atmosphere, with the friendly bar crowd setting the mood during trivia, bingo and karaoke nights. The kitchen pumps out crispy-crust pies until 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and 10 p.m. other nights.
Off the Wall
Nestled on Cane Bay with the ocean just steps away, Off the Wall’s breezy, alfresco bar is known for sunset views, beach-casual vibes and live music nights. Expect cold drinks, easygoing service and a mix of locals and visitors. Hungry? Try the calzones, nachos and chili cheese dogs. It’s the kind of place where flip-flops are always acceptable.
Rhythms at Rainbow Beach
Rhythms at Rainbow Beach, one of St. Croix’s most famous beach bars, features nonstop island tunes, a dance-friendly crowd and the sound of waves lapping ashore just feet away. Sip Cruzan Rum cocktails, groove to live bands and feast your eyes on a fire-orange sunset. Order clam strips, mahi tacos or a fried pork loin sandwich to keep you fueled up for the night.
Tap Deck Bistro & Bar
Overlooking Frederiksted Pier, Tap Deck Bistro & Bar is an intimate, elevated hideaway with candlelit tables, craft cocktails and a selection of wines and draft beers. Live jazz, acoustic sets and small-plate specials give Tap Deck a sophisticated but relaxed vibe. Dine on street tacos or fish and chips and play a game of pool if the mood strikes, all while enjoying the water view.
