I was doubtful about writing this tip or not. This place is so authentic that I'm somewhat afraid that "advertising" it would be a bad idea. On the other hand, I'm sure that very few of the package tourists will go never there. This is not the kind of spot that "sand and sun and sex" crowds are looking for... However, if you are a visitor with genuine interest with Dominican culture and way of life you will love this place, and you'll be welcome here. The place is a small bar. You can easily pass by without noticing it. The crowd was quite "old", lets's say around their fifties, but a few young people as well. I think everyone is welcome here, the only requisite is love for the authentic Salsa music and dance. This particular day they had an Uruguayan singer and entertainer as invited artist, later a nice lady singing some classic bachatas. Between performances, music to dance... A really polite and somewhat old-fashioned gentleman gave me some free lessons of salsa dance (I just loved the way he approached me and later took my chair for me to seat, he make me feel like in an old classic b&w movie :) !!) Later we spoke about his willing to visit Barcelona some day, and how we were enjoying his beautiful country... Well, I'm afraid you need to speak a decent Spanish to fully appreciate the place. But in any case, it would be nice to have a drink while enjoying the live music and people watching. Leave a Comment Theme: Live MusicAddress: Calle Hostos, near El CondeDirections: Colonial Zone

We stumbled on this club by chance, during the day, as we were looking for a restaurant that no longer existed. The club is housed in an older building that has been renovated, and the décor is a mixture of colonial and modern club chic. The music changes from night to night, but, from what I gathered, there ar several house nights per week. Frankly, it appears this is the only club of this type in the centre of Santo Domingo.
Casual but chic.... that is, jeans and runners are ok, but they should be spiffy and not the dirty clothes you sweat into all day while seeing the sights. Leave a Comment Theme: Nightclub
