Generally,
nightlife
in Nassau and on Cable Beach resembles a charming version of 1920s tourism, with the major resort hotels hosting a variety of bars and clubs. The biggest "floor show" in town is
Kings and Knights
at the Nassau Beach Hotel, where King Eric and his Knights perform steel drum music with
limbo
and
fire dancing
, while the
Drumbeat Club
on West Bay features
Junkanoo music
and limbo as well. Every hotel on Cable Beach has its own
disco
, with the most lively being the
Fanta-Z Disco
at
Sandals
. Also popular is the bar at
Cafe Johnny Canoe
on Cable Beach, and
Conch Fritters
on Marlborough Street, across from the
British Colonial Hotel
. Major dance clubs include
The Zoo
, west of Nassau, the
Rock and Roll Cafe
, on Cable Beach, and the new
Bahama Boom Beach Club
, downtown near the wharf. The
Silk Cotton Club
on Market Street is famous for its jazz music, while
Cocktails and Dreams
is a quiet nightclub on the beach, just west of the
British Colonial
. Smaller clubs include the
Pacific Bar
on Victoria Street,
Millie's Place
just off Devaux Street and the
Drop Zone
, catering to locals and tourists alike.
On Mackey Street, the
Dundas Centre for the Performing Arts
(tel 242/393-3728) provides a year-round schedule of music, theatre and dance, featuring both local and foreign artists. The magazine
