There is plenty of nightlife in Negril. The Jungle is the closest to an American style dance club, though it plays more Jamaican dancehall or hip hop reggae. You’re in Jamaica, not in a city at home. So the clubs are more towards the local flavor. It’s safe to venture out in Negril at night, just keep your wits about you and stick to the main strip. It’s like any city. Don’t wander out alone. Don’t walk the beach alone at night. Most of the clubs listed below are more beach type clubs. On the beach, reggae band, locals, and tourist alike.
Monday - Bourbon Beach and Risky Business (beach), Happy Mondays at Ricky’s motors (roundabout) Jamaican dancehall with DJ, Coral Seas garden (beach) has a band.
Tuesday - Alfreds (beach) offers live music, MiYard has a live DJ.
Wednesday - Roots Bamboo (beach) has live reggae, Rocky Wednesdays @ On The Rocks Bar (cliffs).
The One Love Bus Pub Crawl is offered every Wednesday afternoon with free pickup and return drop off from your hotel.
Thursday - Bourbon Beach, Risky Business, Seawinds offers a buffet with live music, Sunset's on the Beach has live music, ladies night at the Jungle (beach) might just be the best club experience you'll ever have, Jazz at Charela (beach).
Friday - Alfreds (beach) has live music, Alice's Restaurant (cliffs) local live band with a variety of vocalists. Request night at Easy Rock Internet Cafe(cliffs).
Saturday - Bourbon Beach, Risky Business, The Jungle, Sea Star (cliffs) offers a Jerk buffett with a live band and African drummers (free shuttle there and home), The Boat Bar (beach) has a live band with a great variety of musicians on stage.
Sunday - Alfreds (beach), Root’s Bamboo for Sunday jazz, Palms (beach) has Jazz Night, Cafe Goa offers brunch, Lighthouse Inn (cliffs) has brunch.
The Jungle is open very late, or early into the am. The Jungle gets better when the other clubs and shows close at 2 am. It’s pure Jamaican dancehall with hip hop and dance hits mixed in but it’s not always the newest music. It can get very crowded and very hot, but you can always escape to the open air roof deck where things are more mellow.
