Providenciales Bars, Pubs, & Lounges
For a small island, Providenciales has a nice selection of bars and lounges. Most bars and lounges are found in the Grace Bay Beach area and on the resort properties, or are within easy walking distance.
The Turks and Caicos doesn’t have the nightlife and parties typical of many other Caribbean destinations, yet there are a few clubs and lounges that have a DJ and a dancefloor.
As is the case with many food items, drink prices are higher here than at other regional destinations, such as the Dominican Republic. Expect to pay around $9 for a pint or bottle of beer. Cocktails and mixed drinks will usually be $12–20 (2024 price). Local Turk’s Head beer is typically the least expensive option.
Legal Drinking Age in Turks and Caicos
The legal drinking age in the Turks and Caicos is 18. Shops and liquor stores may ask to see ID for persons that appear to be under 18 or 21.
Local Turk’s Head Beer
The Turks and Caicos has one locally brewed beer: Turk’s Head. It’s brewed in four beer variants: lager, light lager, amber, and IPA. Turk's Head beer is produced at the Turk's Head Brewery in central Providenciales. Beer enthusiasts may want to visit the microbrewery to take the factory tour or simply stock up on beer at the source!
Bambarra Rum and Osprey Vodka
Many of the local bars stock Bambarra rum, a brand that is locally mixed, bottled, and distributed. It produces an assortment of rum labels, such as Gold, Silver, and Coconut, as well as canned mixed drinks with tropical flavors (such as rum and coke). Osprey Vodka is likewise locally mixed and is available in several flavors and hard seltzers.
Beachfront Settings and Local Vibes
Beachfront bars and restaurants can be found on Grace Bay and in the residential settlements of Blue Hills and Five Cays. These are great places to watch the sunset.
Da Conch Shack is a popular island restaurant and bar on the beach in the old settlement of Blue Hills. The restaurant serves Caribbean fare and local favorites that primarily focus on seafood. Da Conch Shack also has a wide range of drinks and cocktails on its menu, including their famous rum punch.
Bugaloo’s Conch Crawl is another island favorite found in the fishing village of Five Cays on the southern coast. There’s always something going on here, from live music to watching the fishermen bring in the day’s catch.
Some luxury properties on Grace Bay offer an elegant setting for getting drinks and watching the sunset. The Ritz-Carlton resort is home to three bars: one at BLT Steak, one at the beachfront Coralli Restaurant, and a spacious and beautiful lobby bar. Seven Stars likewise has both a beachfront restaurant and bar and an indoor and air-conditioned bar at Seven, their gourmet restaurant. Nearby at the Grace Bay Club is Infiniti, which offers another upscale bar and dining experience.
Watching the Game
If you want to watch your favorite team play, head to one of the several bars that offer multiple televisions playing different sports. The Terrace and Danny Buoy's, both in central Grace Bay, and Sharkbite Bar and Grill in Turtle Cove are good picks.
