Bars & Nightlife in St. Thomas, USVI — Where the Island Comes Alive After Dark

St. Thomas after dark is a different island entirely. The cruise ships have gone, the winds have cooled things down and somewhere on the East End someone is playing guitar while the sun melts into the Caribbean Sea.

The bar and nightlife scene here ranges from barefoot beach bars where flip flops are the dress code to rooftop cocktail lounges overlooking the Charlotte Amalie harbor lights. You'll find live music most nights of the week, local rum bars that take their craft seriously and a few legendary spots that have been the heartbeat of island nightlife for decades. Whatever your version of a perfect St. Thomas night looks like — it starts here.
