By day, Eat @ Cane Bay is a fabulous restaurant with friendly service, amazing food and innovative drinks.

Located right on the beach at the beautiful Cane Bay, Eat is the perfect place to watch the sunset, then down a Belgian beer or a silver & gold margarita while sampling the bite-size 'food shots,' fresh seafood or hand-cut steaks. You can also build your own burger, or even build your own salad. After you eat, soak in the relaxed north shore vibe while grooving to a local band.

Despite its Caribbean-themed name, Quiet Mon is a traditional Irish pub with all the fixins: wood paneling, draught beer, dart boards, and old timers passing the time. You can even get Newcastle Brown and Strongbow cider on tap. Located in the middle of Cruz Bay, this second-story bar is rather quiet by day, when locals come by to nosh on pub grub like hot dogs, sloppy joes, chili and nachos, or have an Irish coffee while checking their e-mail at the Celtic Cybercafe. But at night things rev up, and the party often continues till 2am and beyond. The pub also hosts special events for St Patrick's Day and other noteworthy occasions.
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: The Quiet Mon is the quintessential St. John bar: funky low-key, and a great place to just watch the world go by.
Karen's expert tip: The Quiet Mon was featured in the song 'Be As You Are' by country singer Kenny Chesney, who owns a home on St. John and visits frequently.

The crowd is a 50-50 mix of locals and tourists, who come to dance, drink, and see the revolving lineup of DJs.

The humble motto of this open-air beer-and-burgers joint in Coral Bay is 'A pretty OK place.' But it's much more than that. The super-casual atmosphere is part mellow neighborhood watering hole and part high-energy sports bar. Both visitors and locals come to watch sporting events from around the world on the satellite televisions, or play games of darts or horseshoes outside in the sand. On weekend nights there's usually a local band playing. Pub grub like burgers, salads and fish sandwiches are served alongside beer and cocktails, so you don't have to drink on an empty stomach. The funky decor includes a variety of flotsam and jetsam that do double duty as wall art, and there's a canvas sail in lieu of a ceiling. The family-friendly Skinny Legs has been included several times on Esquire magazine's list of top 100 bars.
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: Skinny Legs is THE nerve center of casual nighttime social life in Coral Bay.
Karen's expert tip: Don't miss Monday movie nights at 7pm.

Woody's is one of Cruz Bay's most popular watering holes. The energy level can get a little high during daily happy hours and late night drink-a-thons, but otherwise it's a mellow, casual hangout. They serve great bar food alongside brews and well drinks: local workers make a beeline here for an after-work snack of 'drunken shrimp' or steamers and beer. Wednesday night is reggae night, and local bands play on Saturday nights. Like most bars on St. John, Woody's is tiny and not much to look at, but it's the drinks, food and company that make it a standout among Cruz Bay bars.
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: A St. John institution, Woody's offers a winning combination of tasty seafood, cheap beer, and local flavor.
Karen's expert tip: $1 beers are available during happy hour from 3-6pm.
Duffy's is literally just a shack – in the middle of a parking lot, no less – but it's also a St. Thomas institution with a big reputation. The huge, creatively-named tropical drinks, mouthwatering grub, and young, enthusiastic crowd make it one of the most popular nightspots in the whole island. Revelers can loosen up with drinks such as the The Revenge of Godzilla, the Love Shack Volcano (a flaming 50-ounce beverage that's not for the faint-of-heart), or the Blast Off, which comes in a spaceship-shaped goblet. Things heat up once the music starts and the strobe lights start flashing; dancing on tables is not discouraged. But try not to bump your head on the wall-mounted animatronic shark, which goes into 'attack' mode every couple of hours. The tiki-hut-themed bar is not hard to find – just follow the sound of music to the parking lot of Red Hook Plaza (the unusual location being a result of its previous home being demolished during a hurricane a few years back).
Recommended for Best Nightlife because: Ridiculously huge drinks, roaring music and a raucous late-night scene rightfully earn this bar a top spot in the list.
