The Best Bars in Turks and Caicos

The islands of Turks and Caicos are famous for their spectacular restaurants and luxurious resorts, both of which contribute to a flourishing nightlife scene on the islands (and the islands have a respectable daytime cocktail scene too). Whether you’re into conch shacks and conch crawls, sand bars, or Irish pubs, the islands of Turks and Caicos have something for everyone.

Though the majority of our selections are located on the island of Providenciales—the most populated island in the Turks and Caicos archipelago, and therefore the most bustling with nightlife—we've included selections from the islands of Grand Turk and South Caicos, as well.

A trip to Turks and Caicos isn’t complete without an afternoon-turned-evening watching the sunset (and drinking rum) at Da Conch Shack. The bar and restaurant is a beloved institution in Providenciales that hosts live music on Wednesdays and Sundays and features local DJs on Fridays—though island tunes can start thrumming in this open-air oasis any day of the week. The atmosphere is laid back, with visitors assembled at pastel picnic tables scattered beneath the palms along the sand. Order some conch fritters (the island’s national dish) and a rum punch, and prepare to indulge in some premium island vibes.

Located on the beautiful and remote island of South Caicos, Triple J’s Grill is a local favorite that has also become a go-to spot for visitors on the island. Christmas lights adorn the trees and illuminate the picnic tables set up beneath the palms, and guests can watch the chefs cook up dinner (we recommend ordering the jerk).

Sidle up to the South Side Marina in Turtle Cove (on the island of Providenciales) and enjoy a painkiller at Bob’s Bar & Eats, an iconic bar overlooking the water. Founded by Bob himself, who first came to Providenciales in 1978 to run the third Turtle Inn. The bar was opened in 2014, and today it features a terrific cocktail menu—we also recommend the negronis, frozen piña coladas, and Aperol sunrise (an inventive take on the Aperol spritz, which is also on the menu). If you visit on Wednesday, you can join the potluck dinner and barbeque—just remember to bring your own meat to grill.

Jack’s Shack is a favorite spot amongst visitors and locals alike and is located just north along the beach from the Cruise Center (always a hub of Grand Turk activity). This mojito shack also offers visitors a free shot of rum if you bring their coupon found online. The bar opens at 9 a.m., and the grill opens at 11 a.m., so it’s never too early to stake out a spot along the sandy coast for a day of cocktails and barbeque at Jack’s Shack.

Who needs a bar crawl when you can enjoy the refreshing cocktails and delightful island ambiance of Bugaloo’s Conch Crawl? This beachside seafood bar and restaurant in Five Cays stays open late and the entertainment is quite varied. Think Fire-dancers, and live music (James Brown and the Dominican Band). The daytime activities at Bugaloo’s are just as enticing, featuring horseback riding, volleyball, darts, and horseshoes. So sidle up at an outdoor picnic table because this hot pink beach shack is one of the best places to visit for nightlife in Providenciales.
