So you are looking for the best of night life in Bermuda.
I have heard people saying that Bermuda nightlife is quite sedate. But after many visits to the Island and having seen the night clubs, bars, and live performances in Bermuda, I tend to believe otherwise.
Bermuda does offer nightlife options like dancing to DJs' music till the wee hours, enjoying drinks while listening to live bands, or watch performing arts and lot more.

If there is one thing missing in Bermuda, that is Gambling and Casinos. They are not allowed in the island and it has a long cultural bearing with the conservative background of Bermudians, particularly so with the churches and some sections of Bermuda Government.
However, Bermuda Government is now seriously debating the issue and exploring the possibility of running Casinos in Bermuda.
Here are my selection of the top nightlife activities in Bermuda. I have categorized them as Bar & Pubs, Night Clubs, Performing Arts and Festive Celebrations.
