The best cocktail bars Belize

It's hard to imagine a more uncluttered decor: it doesn't matter, you come here to drink (a lot) and eat with your fingers good pizzas or other more elaborate dishes (catch of the day, tacos, vegetarian preparations, etc.). Sundays are all about barbecued meat, fish and sausages, but you'll need to come along on Tuesday evenings from 7pm for jam sessions, when the whole village will be with you. On Thursday evenings, you'll enjoy a softer musical atmosphere.

This is Dandriga's music and entertainment stronghold. The best DJ competitions in the region are held under this tin roof, open to the four winds. There are large wooden tables where you can sip cocktails with colorful names (Blue Hole or Purple Rain), cold beer and mop it all up with a few tasty dishes to share. It's an ideal place to wait for the boats that will take you to the islands off the coast.

If you don't have any excursions planned for the day, the Lazy Lizard is a great place to spend a well-deserved day off. The atmosphere is festive, with DJs regularly bringing in young people from all over the world to dance the night away. The location is one of the strong points of the establishment, on the edge of the turquoise water at the northern end of the island. You can snorkel and swim between cocktails, with a breathtaking view of the sunset. Several house cocktails are available at very reasonable prices.

On the banks of the Sittee River, in the heart of the marina, the place is so idyllic that it's hard not to recommend stopping by for a drink at the end of the day... The bar also functions as a restaurant, but prices are prohibitive for some. A good burger, however, may be tempting. Note that this is a working marina, and that it organizes boat trips (fishing and snorkeling) and 4x4 excursions in the region.
