Check out La Bodego, on the little traffic circle in town, and the Monkey Bar, which is located inside the Best Western Villas.

The Hotel Pasatiempo features a giant flat screen TV for watching sporting events, and often features live music.

A nightly happy hour and a pool table round out the weeknight activities at Hotel Pasatiempo. Whether you are staying here or just visiting, you could do worse than to plant yourself for an evening and relax, inexpensively and among like-minded friends.

You decide when to quit.
Finally, if you find yourself awake in the wee hours and craving sustenance, you can show up at Nagui’s Sunset Café at opening and get a filling breakfast that will take the edge off and power you up for a day on the water or a sightseeing tour. Nagui’s recently opened a bar and lounge on the second floor, and has become one of the most popular places in town.
