Silent Disco at The World Bar

I set out to see what nightlife is like on Wednesday night. I heard that every night is Friday night in Queenstown, and that there was a silent disco on Wednesday nights.

I heard some EDM house music at Barmuda and ducked in for my first drink. Then made my way to The World Bar. When I arrived at around 9:20pm there weren't a lot of people there yet, but by 10:30, 11 the place was packed.

With silent disco, I was provided a headset. There were 3 live channels each playing different music live by the DJs there, and I could switch channels at will. The music was LOUD! And it was a lot of fun, dancing the night away with 100 strangers, all 30 years younger than me. I met one girl from Houston that is staying at the hostel. She is moving to Orlando soon for an internship and said her parents are retiring in Florida soon.

When I stumbled out of World Bar after midnight, I decided to see what Cowboys was like at night. It was packed as well and the mechanical bull was in play. I only stayed 5 minutes.

I decided not to walk up that hill, and took an Uber instead.Read more
