During my long break in late June, I went to Trinidad and Tobago for a week. I didn’t go on vacation, but rather for my cousin’s wedding, which was nice. On the one rare night that I had free, I got to experience the bar and club scene in Trinidad…and I wasn’t disappointed at all.
On that Friday night, I went with my cousin (the one about to get married in two days), and her stepsister. We all went to the bar first, and it was pretty much the same as in Canada, very relaxed, everyone in groups talking their chatter. I’m pretty sure we went to a more upscale bar, because the bar and the washrooms were all very clean and well-kept, probably because it was next to a hotel. When I was in Trinidad, I noticed a lot of the roadside bars on the main roads were all pretty run down and didn’t have the same kind of vibe as the bar we were at.
We downed some beers, and had a celebratory shot for my cousin who was about to get married (the shot was “Liquid Cocaine” if anyone wanted to know). The bar that night had karaoke going on, and it was funny listening to various liquored people sing songs from the likes of Lady Gaga, Akon, and others. I offered to sing some Barry White for the karaoke, but the waitress informed me that the wait was rather long, so I wasn’t going to sing (sorry ladies lol). After drinking some more beers, we were off to the club.
The club we went to was called “Space” and the club definitely lived up to the title. The exterior of the club looked like a giant spaceship and it was aesthetically stimulating with flashing colored lights and the smoke machine going off periodically. This was probably one of the best-looking clubs I’ve seen, and way better than the ones in Canada. The drinks were all inclusive, unlike the clubs I went to in Canada where you had to pay per drink, and I took advantage of this. The only thing we had to pay was cover, which wasn’t that much.
The club inside was crazy, with a lot of people having a good time. The club atmosphere was way better than anything I ever encountered in Canada. The music selection was also much better in this club in my opinion, with a lot more reggae dancehall, hip hop, and soca, rather than the shitty pop and house tunes you hear in most Canadian clubs. We got our free drinks and went up to the outside lounge. It was very nice, and offered a pretty good view of the surrounding area. We all pose for pictures, then we go back downstairs for more drinks.
Now I will say this, the girls in the clubs in Canada can’t dance like the girls in Trinidad do. In Canada, you’ll be lucky if you get a lazy grind from a half-willing girl. But in Trinidad, these girls go all out when dancing with a guy. If there ever was a class on simulated sex, then class was in session! It’s almost like there has to be a skill when you dance with a guy. I won’t get into details, but it was crazy stuff.
After the club, we all went out to get some grub at one of the various street meat stalls in the city. After that, we then went home for some much needed sleep. All in all, it was a really good night. I got to experience a different kind of club scene than the one I am used to back in Canada. What made it better was that I was accompanied by two ladies to show me around, instead of the usual full-of-themselves guys in Canada. This would probably be a night that I won’t forget, and I won’t look at the Canadian club scene the same again.
