Catalina Island Nightlife and After-Dark Things To Do

Catalina Island evenings bring together restaurants, bars, nightclubs and special events, with Avalon serving as the center of the island’s nightlife. After sunset, Avalon keeps the energy festive with live music, karaoke, pub-style food, beach bars on the sand, lively tiki bars and classic dive bars.

El Galleon features karaoke when available. Three Palms Arcade in the Metropole Marketplace has arcade games and bowling for the whole family. Catalina Escape Room is a strong choice for groups, couples and families. Avalon’s familiar bar scene also includes Chi Chi Club for a DJ and dancing, Luau Larry's, Marlin Club and The Locker Room.
