There is one place on the entire island of Tobago where every Sunday night feels like a celebration — where the reggae rhythms flow as smooth as the rum punch, where the R&B slow jams carry the beach breeze right through to your soul, and where locals and visitors find themselves on the same dance floor without any effort at all. Jade Monkey Bar at Crown Point is Tobago's most consistently energetic nightlife destination, and its Reggae & R&B Nights every Sunday from 8:00 PM until are the most reliably good time on the island's weekly entertainment calendar.
"It's the one weekend a year the whole island shows up in the same place."

The Easter Sunday Special: The Breakfast Experience
A Unique Morning Celebration
Beyond the weekly Sunday night format, Jade Monkey Bar elevated its Reggae & R&B concept to headline event status for Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026 — rebranding it as the Reggae & R&B Breakfast Experience running from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM in a format unlike anything else on the Tobago events calendar:
- Breakfast served from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM — Jade Monkey's famous breakfast menu served alongside the morning reggae and R&B sets
- Live performances from international recording artists Isasha and Ziggy Rankin — two international reggae acts whose stage presence turned the Easter morning into a full concert experience
- Top tier DJs — including DJ Sound Assassin and Kedane O'Connor — spinning smooth reggae and R&B from sunrise through midday
- The concept: "start your Easter Sunday morning the vibrant way — come hungry, come ready to sing along, and come ready to feel the love through music"
- The energy was confirmed as unmatched in the post-event Instagram recap from the Jade Monkey Bar's official account on April 10, 2026

Tobago's Sunday Night Scene: The Full Picture
A Diverse Entertainment Landscape
The Jade Monkey Reggae & R&B night sits within a Tobago Sunday nightlife scene that the government's 2026 weekly events calendar confirms is surprisingly well-rounded for a small island:

The combination of Sunday School (afternoon/early evening at Buccoo) and Jade Monkey Reggae & R&B (night at Crown Point) makes the Tobago Sunday the most entertainingly complete day of the island's weekly calendar — start at the beach, finish with the reggae and R&B vibes at Crown Point.
Crown Point: The Location
The Heart of Tobago's Tourism
Crown Point is Tobago's tourism hub — the southwest corner of the island where the ANR Robinson International Airport sits just minutes from the beach, where the densest concentration of hotels, guesthouses, beach bars, and watersports operators on the island are located, and where the nightlife energy is at its most accessible for visitors. The Jade Monkey Bar on Milford Road, Crown Point is one of the most centrally positioned entertainment venues on the island — within walking distance or a short taxi ride from virtually every hotel in the Crown Point area and from the Store Bay and Pigeon Point beach strips that anchor Tobago's tourist geography.
The Rest of Tobago's 2026 Weekly Events Calendar
A Week of Island Entertainment
The Tobago government's May 2026 events calendar places the Jade Monkey Reggae & R&B Nights alongside a full week of recurring island entertainment:
- Mondays: Pan & Roast — Anchor Bar & Grill, Mt. Irvine
- Tuesdays: Karaoke Tuesdays (6:00 PM) — Anchor Bar & Grill, Mt. Irvine
- Wednesdays: Sunset Jazz — Anchor Bar & Grill, Mt. Irvine; Jade Monkey Karaoke — Crown Point

- Sundays: Sunday School — Paris Bar, Buccoo; Reggae & R&B — Jade Monkey Bar, Crown Point; Karaoke — Moon Over Water Bar, Pleasant Prospect
The density of recurring weekly events across Crown Point, Buccoo, Scarborough, Mt.
