    Redbones Blues Cafe

    Head to Redbones Blues Cafe for dinner and atmosphere. This jazz and blues-themed spot offers Caribbean fusion cuisine and often features live music, making it the perfect place to stay as dark falls.

Local tip

China Garden is open Mo-Sa 11:30-21:00 and Su 12:00-19:00, so you have plenty of time to eat before the golden light hits. Redbones is a cultural watering hole with an art gallery, so arrive early if you want a good spot to watch the live music later in the evening.

Check before you go

  • Check if Redbones Blues Cafe has live music scheduled for your evening.
  • China Garden closes at 21:00 on weekdays and 19:00 on Sundays, so finish eating before then.
