Drinking and nightlife

The few places to head for a
drink
in town are often very quiet. The oceanfront Port Antonio Marina on West Palm Avenue (tel 876/993-3209) is a breezy and pleasant place with a happy hour on Fridays and occasional
live entertainment
, and the terrace at the
Bonnie View Hotel
offers the town's best harbour views. Just out of town and right by the sea on Allan Avenue, the friendly
K-S Kozy Knook
is the archetypal Jamaican drinking hole; a similar scene is found in town at
The Hub
at 2 West Palm Ave.
With none of the bad-boy posturing of Kingston or the resort slickness of the north coast,
clubbing
in Portie is a laid-back and supremely enjoyable experience. Top spot has traditionally been the
Roof Club
at 11 West St (nightly; J$100), while options are
Club Xtacy
, on the top floor of the Village of St George, and the slightly more upmarket
Crystals
, at the western end of West Palm Avenue. All play dancehall, reggae, R&B, hip-hop and a splash of soca. Other useful information
