Based on the Islands facade -- a nondescript stucco wall with red and green stripes -- its difficult to fathom just how cool this Alameda joint is on the inside. Located a few blocks from the Webster Tube, it specializes in dancehall, reggae, calypso, soukous, and soca, erring more on the pop side. Thatched roofs, orange lanterns, and a small dancefloor give the Island a real Caribbean Isle feel. The best night is definitely Saturdays Caribbean Night, with rotating DJs Electro, Barry, and Omar, though Fridays Ladies Night is also worth checking out, if only for the drink specials and discounts on admission.
