For
those in search of an active and glittering
night life, the choices in St. Barths
are few.
There is no real movie house, but on many
Saturday nights, local folk assemble at
the A.J.O.E. tennis court in Lorient to
watch a recent movie, usually dubbed in
French, that is projected on a huge painted
concrete wall. Serve yourself chairs,
and a stand for popcorn, hot dogs and
cold drinks.
Video cassettes and DVDs can be rented
at a number of locations for movies at
home; many hotels and villas offer English
speaking satellite television programs.

Sailors and locals gather most evenings for
tall stories and beer at Le Select, a favored
hangout in Gustavia. Sometimes there is live
music.
Some restaurants have an independent cocktail
bar. They have a lively ambiance and sometimes
propose live entertainment till midnight or
1 AM during the high season. Bête à
Z'Ailes, La Plage, "Nikki Beach" and
le Ti-St Barth are among these.
A new Lounge Bar, the "Bar'tô"
at Guanahani, is open daily till 1 AM. It welcomes
anyone who is looking for a before or after-dinner
drink in a cosy and elegant atmosphere.
The "Yacht Club" with its "Live
Screen Concerts" on Gustavia Harbor, and
"Casa Nikki" also in Gustavia, as
well as "Le Feeling", in Lurin, provide
mind altering drinks, ear-shattering disco music,
a dance floor, and a chance to catch someone's
eye across a crowded room.
During the music and film festivals, there is
somewhere interesting to go every night, and,
now and then, the sky overhead explodes in celebration
of some public or private event.
All this having been said, year after year,
the most popular nighttime experience on St.Barths
remains comfortable and leisurely dining.
One
of the best things about St. Barths is the quality
and variety of the food.
This is true not only in numerous local restaurants,
but in many local homes and villas as well,
due to the unusually wide range of foodstuffs
available at local grocery stores, and due to
the quality of local catering services.
Shopping for food in St. Barths can be a delightful
social pastime in itself.
