5. Kiva Bar
One of the coolest bars on this party island - and especially fun when they strap a combat helmet onto a volunteer and give him/her a shot while simultaneously whacking them on the side of the head with a large wooden mallet to increase the effect of the shot - quite hilarious and unforgettable. At midnight, sparklers are handed out and it makes for a magical atmosphere.
