We bring " leftovers" over from SXM- beer, rum,water, food. No problems. Ready to declare if I have to but so far, knock on wood, no issues! If you are staying on Shoal Bay East, Madeariman is open for dinner as well as Zemi. So no cab needed! Serenity is another good option but we have only walked there during the day, not at night. I reccommend eating at Madeariman and watching the sun set! Beautiful! We rarely venture out for nightlife so can't help there. Have a great time!
