Kingston has legions of great places to get a drink,
and many of them also double up as restaurants; Carlos,
JamRock, Red Bones, Our Place and the Grog Shoppe
are all good bets, as are hotel bars uptown.
There are scores of clubs around town, ranging from
state-of-the-art places featuring big-name DJs to more
sedate in-hotel affairs. Anticipate a cover of around J$300.
It's also worth keeping a lookout for posters advertising
one-off club nights at places such as Mas Camp Village, or
summer all-inclusive parties staged at private outdoor
venues throughout the city; these are usually well attended
and invariably lots of fun.

Live music
in the capital is less predictable; some of the best shows
are the annual round of Heineken Startime concerts,
featuring the best of Jamaica's vintage artists.
Kingstonians celebrate Carnival each April; it's
similar to the Trinidadian event but on a far smaller scale
and with a bigger ratio of reggae to soca. For more on
Carnival, contact the JTB (phone 876/929-9200).
