MoomBa (as has been suggested) is a great option, and is especially busy Sunday night. Get there around sundown for a big party. Then, also pop your nose into Bugaloo, which has Marisella's great band on Sunday nights.

People of all ages go to Sopranos Piano Bar, in Arawak Gardens, which is about 4 blocks from the Marriot. If you picture piano bars as a place where a guy in a tux belts out Streisand for senior citizens, you haven't been to a Sopranos bar! They have excellent performers that are very high energy, and accompany themselves with bass and drums (or more, depending on the artist). It's everything from DON'T STOP BELIEVIN' to brand new hits, reggae, dance music, and earlier in the night, the classics from Sinatra and Elton John. Beautiful singles often wind up dancing on the piano, so they're not hard to find!

Mambo Jambo (as has been suggested) is lively and loud, but expect all Latin music.

Jimmy's (as has been suggested) is best on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 11 and 2 (3 on the weekends). Thursday is 80's/90's music, but very well remixed. Fridays and Saturdays are packed to the rafters, especially VERY late. But, do know that Jimmy's is primarily a gay bar, so why it was suggested to you as a single guy looking to meet women, I'm not certain.

There are some dance clubs. Club Bahai is open late. Be sure also to look for posters for the monthly FULL MOON party, and hope that you are on the island for this!

Senor Frogs (the former Carlos and Charlie's) is obviously a successful pick-up spot, but the trick to this is to be less drunk than the people you're trying to meet... no easy task there. To avoid sickness, don't drink yardsticks of unnamed tequilla with unspecified fruit juice mix. Pick an alcohol you know the name of, and have them mix it in a glass with a mixer you know the name of.
