There are sports bars too for those that don't want to miss the big fight or other sporting events. The jump-up at Shirley Heights Lookout overlooking English Harbour on a Sunday is not to be missed. It includes over 6 hours of entertainment. Things kick off at 4pm with a traditional steel band and a big barbeque. Later into the night a top reggae band performs and there is dancing until 10pm.
Drinks are aplenty and the atmosphere is much like that of a carnival.
For those seeking something quieter and not so jam-packed for the kids then on Thursday the Shirley Heights Lookout is a much more relaxed affair. Several other bars in the area offer various types of entertainment too. Rum Shops are another feature of Antiguan nightlife. There's usually one or two in every village. The atmosphere is often lively and verbal exchanges, however loud, are always punctuated with peels of laughter.
