The "Ave" Part 2

The many clubs and lounges found on the Ariapita avenue have to put up with competition from each other for customers. The best way to do so for them is to have drinks and party specials especially for the females and Tertiary level students. The expense is taken out of "liming" with all the "free before 11pm", "free drinks all night", "free entry for tertiary level students", specials. This enhances the social activity taking place on the avenue and even for many food vendors who come out at the wee hours of the morning to catch the hungry patrons on their way home after a night of partying.

Many of these clubs even though they have their own party specials, they give specials for persons who wish to have private parties or gatherings. Most of them include private party rooms for persons who wish to enjoy the entertainment of the club in their own private circles. These high ended lounges are quite exquisite and with proper entertainment from some of the most popular DJs in Trinidad gracing their stages  once or twice a week, patrons flock to their venues in hopes of a good time.

University students often frequent the avenue. The average age group that spend the most time at these clubs and lounges ranges from 19-26; which is considered prime university age. It is true that "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy", but it is most time argued that because many of these nightclubs offer such great deals and specials on partying for university students, it is more than just a brain cooler but more so a distraction. Many early morning accidents and road fatalities that take place in urban areas or on the highways is due to drunk driving; many of the victims are young adults.

  1. With all these specials on entrance fees and drinks etc. those UWI students practically live on the Ave ! But even their frequent visits to the avenue to lime and party benefits the club and bar owners as they contribute to the night-time economic activities.
