The beachfront restaurant at Cambridge Beaches Resort and Spa boasts arguably the best sunset views of any bar in Bermuda. Grab a swizzle at the bar, which, unlike the restaurant, doesn’t require reservations.

Bermuda’s oldest licensed dining established (and original inspiration for the bar in the show Cheers) delivers a true pub experience, from the wide selection of draft beer and comfort food on offer to the live bands that regularly bring the house down. The folks here may not know your name, but they do know how to have a good time.

Get your gin and tonic any of nine ways (there’s a different one for every gin bottle on the top shelf) at Rosewood Bermuda’s elegant, intimate gin bar. Go for pre- or post-dinner drinks — the atmosphere, the twin fireplaces, the handprinted floors, and the adjacent courtyard with its own fountain are all sublime.

A hidden gem of a cocktail bar — in the truest sense of the word — tucked behind a red door down Hamilton’s Chancery Lane. Owner and mixologist Yannis Heracleous’ ever-evolving bar program is unrivaled and makes good use of fresh fruit and aromatics — their Dark ’n’ Stormy uses sharp housemade ginger beer — particularly the kinds that grow wild in Bermuda, like Surinam cherry, loquat, and allspice.

A spirited Victorian-inspired pub with a separate cellar that screens live games. Order a craft beer at the bar, which features an impressive mantelpiece flown in from New England in three pieces, indulge in some pub grub (try the ginger beer-battered fish and chips), and make friends for the night.

A classic roadside workmen’s bar (workmen referring to men avoiding work) that dishes out a mean fish sandwich of its own, as well as a variety of other tasty fish bits to go along with the many Dark ’n’ Stormys you’ll be having here. A great place to hang tight and chat with locals, especially if a football game is on the tele.

A bright, minimalist coffee shop that’s cool even by Brooklyn standards. Handsome lattes are served on geometric Hay trays, baskets of indie mags line the wall, and a collection of bike caps hang from the ceiling’s cedar beams, a nod to the many cyclists that ride through this corridor of St. George’s. They even brew beans from Aarhus-based La Cabra Coffee Roasters, which is opening up shop in Brooklyn.

Fitness, life coach, and very Zen dude Preston Ephraim whips up cold-pressed juices, life-giving smoothies, bright blue spirulina bowls, and other raw, vegan treats out of a small shop in back-of-town Hamilton that he envisioned during an Om meditation. Before the universe guided him to this previously empty storefront, he ran a word-of-mouth juice cleanse business out of his kitchen.
