Aura Nightclub
Bar · The Bahamas
"Aura Experiences All-night adventure for the big kids - I suppose that's a sound way to sum up Aura, the enormous Jeffrey Beers club that sits at the heart of the Atlantis nightlife experience. Two bars, two VIP sections, a fantastic DJ booth, and posh accommodations are the signature of Aura, a great place to kick back with a cocktail after... kicking back with a cocktail on the beach."
Chat 'N' Chill® Beach Bar & Grill
Bar & grill · The Bahamas
"Chat 'N' Chill At Chat 'N' Chill, a beach bar on Stocking Island in the Exumas, you can enjoy cold drinks with your feet in the sand and eat your fill of local fare like BBQ ribs and grilled fish. The menu also has burgers, hot dogs, and made-to-order conch salad. This laid-back spot is a classic island beach bar, and you can even wade into the clear water to feed the conch scraps to the local stingrays. Chat 'N' Chill is also famous for its Sunday pig roasts, a lively event with a whole, slow-smoked pig, drinks, and island music on the beach."

The Landing Hotel & Restaurant
Hotel · The Bahamas
"Venturing to the other side of Harbour Island, I stumbled into The Landing just when they were beginning to infuse a new batch of Afro Head vodkas and rums by hand. Brilliant timing! I was quickly invited to partake in a little side-by-side tasting: off-the-shelf vs. handcrafted. The difference blew my mind. Truth be told, I have been back for their hand-infused vodka cocktails (especially the sweet revenge!) a few too many times since..."
Pelican Bay Hotel
Hotel · City of Freeport
"After a day of biking, hiking, kayaking or simply lying in the Caribbean sun, you will likely develop a thirst for something cold to drink. On Half Moon Cay, there's a selection of bars to choose from, whether you want a frozen cocktail, a cold beer or simply a soda. The Rumrunners Bar is painted in bright Bahamian colors and is located near the island's Welcome Center; the Bell Bar is among the dining pavilions of the Tropics Restaurant; and the appropriately named I Wish I Could Stay Here Forever bar is under a thatched roof overlooking the beach and, beyond it, the Exuma Channel."

Sea Glass
Bar · The Bahamas
"Through the Sea Glass Sea Glass has a chill vibe, serves fantastic tapas and cocktails all day and all night long, and has a number of gaming tables that are never too far out of reach -- the perfect escape at the heart of The Cove Atlantis."
