Asylum 69 Knutsford Blvd phone 876/929-4386. Fully refitted and packed with Kingstonians checking out the latest dances under the dry ice and UV glare. A different theme every night, so call head to see what's on. Wednesday nights, when more conscious reggae is played, are typically the best introduction.

Jonkanoo Lounge   Hilton Kingston, 77 Knutsford Blvd phone876/926-5430. Relatively sedate, as you'd expect from a hotel-based venue, but a good and very up market (if rarely crowded) disco with occasional live bands.

 Mingles   Courtleigh Hotel, 85 Knutsford Blvd phone 876/929-9000. Popular and central, this in-hotel club-cum-bar is usually a good bet, drawing a pleasant crowd for the Friday after Work Jam, with jerk chicken and DJs. Busiest is Saturday's Latin party, when Latin dance classes are held (7-9pm) and the place is packed.

Peppers 31 Upper Waterloo Rd phone876/925-2219 or 969-2421. One of Kingston's most consistently popular venues, with a heaving outdoor dance floor, big-name stage shows every month and DJs most nights; usually packed and a lot of fun.
