Baywinds
This posh poolside club, cooled by the tradewinds, is a romantic place to be in the evening. Couples in their 20s and 30s dance at the side of the luxurious pool as moonlight glitters off the ocean in the background. Music ranges from jazz to pop. Open nightly, with live music and dinner from 6pm to midnight. 340-775-1510.

Epernay
This stylish watering hole with a view of the ocean adds a touch of Europe to the neighborhood. You can order glasses of at least six different brands of champagne and vintage wines by the glass. Appetizers include sushi and caviar. You can also order main courses, plus tempting desserts, such as chocolate-dipped strawberries. A mature, sophisticated crowd seeks out this spot. 34-774-5348.

The Green House
Set directly on the waterfront, this bar and restaurant (listed in "Dining," earlier in this chapter) is one of the few night spots we recommend in the heart of Charlotte Amalie. You can park nearby and walk to the entrance. Each night a different entertainment is featured, ranging from reggae to disco. Almost all of the 30-something patrons are visitors. 340-774-7998.

Walter’s Living Room
This intimate, dimly lit, two-level bar attracts locals, often gay men, in season, drawing more off-island visitors in winter. It's located about 100 yards from the island's famous synagogue, in a clapboard town house built around 1935. The music here ranges from the 1950s to the 1970s.
