Avery’s combines dining with a cigar lounge and sports viewing area, making it a unique spot for enjoying premium steaks and seafood while catching a game. The live music is amazing and the food is delicious. You must try their Guava glazed wings and any fish dish.

Overlooking the Haynes Oval, the Cricket Club combines British pub classics like fish and chips with Bahamian favorites in a relaxed setting. It’s a great spot to watch sports, particularly international cricket and football matches, making it popular with both locals and tourists. For a traditional experience, their Sunday roast is a big hit and provides a satisfying meal.

With locations throughout Nassau, Bamboo Shack is the go-to spot for Bahamian fast food and take-out. The fried chicken is flavorful, and there are plenty of seafood options. The conch fritters stand out for their freshness and seasoning, and the service is generally quick, although it can get busy during peak hours. Portions are generous. For an authentic taste of the Bahamas, try the "Chicken-in-the-Bag," a popular choice among locals.

Bakehouse/Mudda Freeze combines a bakery and ice cream parlor, offering freshly baked goods like pastries and breads, along with homemade ice creams. It’s a family-friendly spot that’s popular for breakfast or an afternoon treat, with rotating ice cream flavors to keep things exciting.

For a unique experience on the water, Antiki Floating Bar & Grill offers fresh seafood dishes like grilled shrimp and conch fritters along with tropical cocktails, all with panoramic views of the harbor. It’s an especially magical spot at sunset, and the gentle sway of the boat adds to the laid-back island vibe. Reservations are recommended for evening dining, and checking their schedule for live music events can make for an even more enjoyable visit.

Daiquiri Shack is loved for its fresh fruit daiquiris made to order, offering a variety of flavors that are perfect for cooling down on a warm day. The colorful, lively atmosphere makes it a fun stop, especially in the afternoons, though remember to bring cash as they don’t accept cards.
