There are awkward, uncomfortable nights at bars. Latin Night at Fish Tales in May was one of them. Reggae Night at Castaways (64th Street) was another, and probably the most fun awkward night of the summer.

Unlike the Fish Tales experience, Castaways was fun and exciting, despite the complete lack of rhythm exhibited by me and my group. The Zion Reggae Band took the stage after about an hour of DJ-led Caribbean dance music. Every other week in August, Zion and S.T.O.R.M traded off Thursday night appearances.

The show was excellent and the venue is decent. Castaways has a number of bars surrounding an indoor dance floor and outdoor seating on their deck. Rainy nights are not good nights if there's a crowd.

The drink prices left a lot to be desired, as they were significantly higher than most special nights around town. It wasn't outrageous, but it certainly made me cringe every time I handed over another couple of bills to the bartender.

Tuesday night is another thrilling night at Castaways, as they have their deck party on the outdoor area. Prices are better on Tuesdays, as they extend their Happy Hour until closing.

During the day, Castaways is an awesome restaurant owned by the same people that run the Dough Roller franchises. The dinner menu is filled with quality food at decent prices.

Don't worry about your lack of rhythm. Less than 25 percent of the patrons at Castaways can actually dance to the music, so you'll fit right in.
