The Busy Bee has live bands rocking every night from 8pm, though Friday and Saturday are usually the best nights when locals and travellers converge en masse. There’s a restaurant and bar plus a courtyard with a fire pit, which is a great spot to meet other travellers, and there’s also a smoky pool room down in the den.
