Kingston was my favourite place in Jamaica. You don’t get hassled as much as the coast, you can find hot girls, and the nightlife is exceptional. That said, people aren’t very warm, logistics are a nightmare, and some parts of the city are pretty rough.

THE GIRLS
Jamaican Girls |
Despite that, after going to the right night spots in Kingston, you can really find some gems. Some of the upper classes and mixed raced locals are smoking hot. They are not in abundance, but they exist. The average female height 1.608 m (5 ft 3 ⁄ in), although a lot of the good looking stock tend to be much taller.
Demographics: The vast majority of the population of Kingston is of African descent, mostly descended from the Akans (think Ghana) and the Igbo (warrior Nigerian tribe) in West Africa. Large minority ethnic groups include East Indians and Chinese. You also see a lot of Japanese and European tourists about.
Attitudes: Jamaican girls are not as friendly as others in the Caribbean. Ghetto chicks see you as walking dollar sign, but you’ll find genuine friendliness from the middle and upper classes. Girls in this group are surprisingly approachable.
Gaming Strategy: Patwa is the de facto language on the street, but everybody speaks English. Night game and pipelining are your best chance at meeting a top quality girl. Guys here are direct, so a more subtle approach serves well. As a foreigner, you’re a little more exotic than on the coast, but it doesn’t offer any significant advantage. You can get numbers are attraction easy enough, but your biggest problem are logistics. Few accommodation allow guests. Unless you shell out for an apartment, you’re going to struggle. The only alternative is a “fuckshop”, a short-term love hotel primarily for prostitution. But don’t expect any girl worth her salt to jump at the idea.
THE MEN
The men are always seen either partying or having a good time in bars and restaurants.
THE NIGHTLIFE
The Night life is dynamic, adsorbing, and constantly evolving. The live music scene is also kickin’. However, it’s spread out. Don’t leave town without checking out a sound system /street party. It is the no.1 thing I recommend you do in Jamaica. Aside from that, where to go depends on the night. Random parties spring up in random places. Ask around. I can only speak from my experience. Kingston is a weekend town, but you can party 7 nights a week.
Weekend: The Quad is old news, but still worth a look. Asylum and Privilege are the new hot spots for clubbing, the former being the no.1 pick.
Sunday nights: Take a taxi high into the mountains and experience Dub Club . It’s essentially a massive house party with a sound system and a bar in somebody’s kitchen. The view is amazing. There are some nice middle class chicks around and the mix is good. Go early. By the 2AM it’s dead.
Hot Tuesdays: is a biggest street party in town Tuesday night. It’s a nice part of town, so unlike other street parties, there is a $10 cover. This is good because it keeps out the rift-raff.
Wednesday: check out Weddy Weddy Wednesdays in Uptown Kingston and Passa Passa (the largest street party in the city).
I also you recommend find out if there are any college parties are going on. UTECH in Pepine do student nights with cheap drink and are buzzing with middle/upper class girls. When I visited there were people handing out flyers.

My Experience
Although the city and it’s people didn’t exactly charm me, the diversity of Kingston’s nightlife certainly did. I spent five days there, but I would have liked to stay in the city longer to experience all it has to offer. I found it easier to pick up genuine girls here then other parts of the country, but it wasn’t easy. I got my Jai flag in Mo Bay, but in the capital my logistics made things almost impossible. Would I go back? Perhaps, but I wouldn’t be in a rush. The coolest thing I did in Kingston was go to house party of one of Bob Marley’s former guitarist.
