It's dark, a little seedy and there's a guy who plays the bongos over the song and I loved every minute of it. There was no cover and we got there about 1am. The DJ played every song I wanted to hear and then some. I'm from NYC so the drink prices were affordable by comparison and aside from not... More

My last review was not too pleasant at all, but guess what? Johnny and the Staff READ the posts here. So I was pleasantly surprised when the manager (Johnny) pulls me aside and mentions my review on Tripadvisor and asks that I come and tell him directly about any issues I have in the club in the future. He was... More

Bambu is a second floor bar/nightclub really close to the cruise ship stop in downtown nassau. There are only one urinal and one toilet in the men's bathroom and the place is so packed people are hanging out of the balconies. the wait to get in is about 30 minutes and spent on two flights of stairs. go before 9...

We recently took a cruise that ported over night. We took advantage of this by venturing out to Bambu. It is within easy walking distance from the port. Just follow the music. As with previous reviews the music was great. The atmosphere was diverse and fun. We were not charged an entrance fee but arrived rather early 10pm. It didnt... More

Returned to Nassau on another Carnival cruise. My honey & I wanted to experience the nightlife as it's something we only do while on vacation. We first ended up at Charlie's at the suggestion of a local whom advised that absolutely was "the spot" for the night. Charlie's is a hip-hop club. The club appears to cater to the much... More

A great place to go and have a blast with friends, and get away from the overly tourist crowd. More

I fly in from Kingston on business almost twice a month and this place is the only bar I have found to have a good mix of nassau's locals. the dress code is a bit strict at times but that's the price you have to pay for safety in this day and age..cheap drinks and great mix of music.. More

I have traveled lots and this club is a brilliant find. It has a great atmosphere and a great mix of people! I did not feel any sort of discrimination when walking. However they do have a dress code. As in most clubs just don't show up scruffy. Their music is a good mix of popular songs. I would def.... More

I was appalled to go to this club/restaurant and find out it is just like the old "South Africa". I went for a nice Friday night out and was abused and insulted by the Management as I tried to enter around midnight. It seems they have a "private" policy not to allow ANY BLACK BAHAMIANS into this establishment and guise... More
