Spinning Wheel Night Club Bermuda
$, Nightclub & Dance Bar
Overview & Background
Operating since the 1970s, Spinning Wheel Nightclub is located on Court Street in Hamilton Bermuda. It has been since catering to the neighborhood in Pembroke with nightly entertainment. It is off the major tourist path and not specifically marketed as a major tourist destination unlike the Front Street bars & pubs.
Being a local favorite, you will see many Bermudians savoring drinks or enjoying live music at the upper level. If you like to get a break from the crowded bars at the city center, relax and have a drink and listen to some live music, this is the place to go in Hamilton.
Spinning Wheels was founded by Charles Burgess and Gladwin Ming, and named for the song by Blood, Sweat, and Tears. Their main objective was to bring entertainment of their ethnic group to the neighborhood.
The venue has hosted several major events including the Black Family Productions that paid tribute to those making contributions to the economy, to world business, to medicine and to education in Bermuda, and also to cultural heroes.
Today The Spinning Wheel has evolved as a complete entertainment complex in Hamilton City (known as Spinning Wheel Complex) and a popular meeting place for the locals. It has four bars, a night club, a sports lounge, and a restaurant serving Bermudian cuisine. It also offers its facilities and friendly services towards private functions and events.
There is a cover charge for upper level entertainment from Friday through Saturday.
Activities & Nightlife
Once you walk in, you’ll likely head for the main bar or the sports lounge where draft beers, rum rum-punches, cocktails and imported beers are poured. If you’re with friends, grabbing a pitcher or a round of strong island-style cocktails sets the tone for a warm, social night out.
Small bar snacks and classic pub-fare at the bistro... burgers, fries, wings are good choices if you want something to go with your drinks. The vibe is approachable and chill, not fancy, part local hangout, part traveling-tourist stop.
As night deepens, the action moves upstairs to the nightclub: the dance floor fills, DJs drop sets, and the crowd turns up. The club has been described as Hamilton’s largest indoor dance venue, and on many nights the energy runs high... music, dancing, laughter, and a friendly mix of locals and visitors.
Regular themes and event nights (live music, DJ sets, maybe even occasional island-style parties) mean there’s often something going on.
The price range is moderate... drinks and decent bar food, not overly expensive compared to high-end venues. The cuisine is primarily pub/grill style... burgers, wings, fries, simple mains - straightforward, hearty, and good for sharing.
Special Tips
If you plan to visit: try to get there before 10 PM if you want a good seat, especially on weekends or nights when a DJ or live music is scheduled. For a fun social vibe, head to the bar area early, get a rum punch or pitcher going.
Want dancing and nightlife energy? Stay into the late hours and head upstairs to the club. For a quieter experience, the lounge and bistro still offer a comfortable, relaxed environment.
