As someone who's been to seven of the eight bars you mention, and wrote my own take on some of them 11 years ago (yikes!), your observations closely match my take.

Loved the last paragraph of the Smuggler's Cove section. 😊

That's a great roundup, and we do indeed seem to have similar thoughts on these bars--thanks for sending it along!

I hope you've been able to make it back to Forbidden Island on a "normal" night in the meantime. It's a great spot!
