I guess there are no nightclubs at McMurdo. Because, fire code@!

There are in fact a few bars which might be called nightclubs.

There’s 2/3 bars and a bunch of different parties thrown on different weekends. No wall to wall people though most people need to get up early.

Sadly the bars no longer serve liquor, due to incidents.

mcm has two bars, they both absolutely serve liquor. source: me, a current bartender here in mcmurdo.

Ok, I guess it changed since I was there a few years ago. You're doing God's work. I hope people are tipping well.

Citation needed. My counter evidence is from 2022: https://drunkard.com/08-04- southpole/

Citation: I have actually drank at the bars in McMurdo.

Your link is Pole, not McMurdo. It sounds like that is people bringing their own, or buying from USAP for the field, which is allowed. It may have changed, but when I was there, McMurdo bars only served beer and wine.
