Drinks & Nightlife

Great food - especially if you love bacon. "Hidden" local bar with delicious specialty drinks. Not your typical hole in the wall.

This Irish bar stays open until 4 AM and it's where everyone goes if they're not ready to call it quits after the club closes.

Not exactly a bar, more of a nightclub, but not the upscale kind. Music is mainly hip-hop and it gets super crowded.

This is a more upscale nightclub with a GREAT view - it's right on the ocean at the Sheraton. Music is decent but this place closes at 2 and it's hard to get a seat if you're there late.

This place is right in the mall and more of a local hangout. Definitely a favorite and no need to dress fancy. Closes @2.
