The islands aren't exactly pulsing with nightlife but there are a few discos, outdoor bars and dance clubs. The best way to find out what's happening is to read the Friday edition of the Cayman Compass.

Wednesday through Saturday live bands play soca and reggae at the outdoor beach bar Royal Palms (phone 345/945-6385) on Seven Mile Beach across from the West Shore Centre shopping mall - there is no admission charge unless a high-profile band is playing.

 Bed (phone 345/949-7199) on the Harquail Bypass also has live music in its tiny lounge.

Slapping rounds of dominos are played by the locals especially on Friday nights at Sunset House (phone 345/949-7111) on South Church just east of downtown George Town; the open-air bar is also a popular hangout for the scuba-diving crowd. Legendz (phone 345/959-1950) on West Bay Road in the Falls strip mall has live bands and disco most nights.
