Fiction on Knutsford Boulevard is Kingston's most consistently busy uptown bar — a large venue that hosts parties, live events, and regular nights that draw Kingston's young professional crowd. The interior is polished and air-conditioned; the outdoor patio gives access to both the night air and the Knutsford Boulevard strip. It is a bar that takes itself seriously without taking itself too seriously, which is more or less the right approach for Kingston.
On a typical Friday or Saturday night the queues outside are long and the music is a mix of dancehall, R&B, and soca depending on the event. Booking ahead for specific events makes sense; on regular nights, arriving after 11pm is the norm. The drinks are well priced by international standards and the cocktail programme goes beyond the basics.
