This small open air bar provides a laid-back hangout spot by day, and transforms into an energetic nightclub after dark.  
 
During the daytime, and up until about 8'o clock at night, patrons can be seen playing dominoes or having a round of drinks with friends. The waiters/waitresses are pretty courteous and the atmosphere quite relaxed.  
 
After hours the domino tables are cleared away to make way for the 'clubbers' who will start to pour in at about 11:00 p.m. The dress code is casual (leaning more towards casually elegant for the women), and ladies enter free of cost, which is a big plus for both the men (who will have more to feast their eyes on) and the women (who'll save themselves a few hundred dollars at the door). The selection of music (mainly contemporary dancehall and hip-hop) is usually pretty good. On those nights when the club gets really 'hot' the small area can get somewhat crowded, but unless you have an aversion to occasional bodily contact with others this shouldn't be a problem.  
 
If you're stopping by just to knock back a few drinks with some folks then any day will do. If you want to experience the club vibe however, your best best is a Friday or Saturday night; week nights are a little quiet.

totally awesome place. can cater to a wide variety of party goers; you have the fun dance-hall and clubbin vibes on fridays and saturdays for all you hard core party lovers. Sunday nights are my favorite because there is this relaxed "chillin on the north coast" feeling where the music is an excellent blend of mostly oldschool mixed in with some newer songs later in the night, all to be enjoyed in a very breezy fresh-aired bar. 
in the week is fun also!! check it out!! 
what i love about this club from the time of its inception is its amazing ambience which changes to cater to you at every single hour of all 24 hrs. from easy-going to hard-core. very versatile, just figure out which is your favorite night.  
it is truly an escape, esp from the kingston stress :) 
 
oh and i almost forgot, the bar prices are perfect!
