Friday Night Live in Oistins

A quick stop at Naru Restaurant & Bar sets the tone for the night with expertly mixed rum punches and a relaxed, stylish atmosphere. It’s the perfect warm-up spot to sip, unwind, and ease into the rhythm of Barbados’ Friday night scene before the energy picks up across the island.

Blakey’s on the Boardwalk is a lively beachfront bar and restaurant in Hastings, Barbados, offering stunning ocean views, tasty Bajan and international dishes, and refreshing cocktails. Enjoy happy hour at sunset and live music on weekends in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Oistins is also widely popular as a result of the Oistins Fish Festival. An annual, week-long held in April each year, dedicated to celebrating the culture of the fishing village, the talents of the fisherfolk and their impact on Barbadian culture. This festival is a great opportunity to partake in some of the island's best Bajan cuisine as well as support the local vendors, farmers and artisans. There are many vendors to choose from and vendors offer a variety of fish steaks of many kinds, ( mahi-mahi, tuna, snapper, barracuda, and sometimes lobster), along with complimentary sides and salads. Oistins is perfect for the entire family or groups of friends! Head out to have an affordable, delicious meal while enjoying the local ambience of the market. Conversely, if you prefer a more quiet experience, visit Bay Gardens on weekdays when there is less foot traffic. In Oistins, there’s something for everyone.

In Barbados, we love craft beer and also great places to drink craft beer which is why at Dreadhop, they built a rustic, industrial style tap room with plenty of space to enjoy the beers they work so hard to create. The DreadHop Brewing tap room is located right inside the brewery. Enjoy the sweet aroma of freshly brewed wort, hops and malt while you sip the freshest beer in Barbados.

The laughter and chatter of party-goers fill the air as you stroll through deciding, (or after you have decided), which spot to visit. Not only is The Gap nightlife central, but with the wide variety of hotels available, you can stay and play in the same vicinity.
