I know some of you are checking gravity at the sight of a nightlife tip from me. At the intersection of calle Mariscal Foch and calle Reina Victoria is a square almost completely surrounded by cafes and bars. Locals tell me it is a great nightlife spot. Even at midday, it is buzzing with tourists relaxing over a cup of coffee and people watching. Even the locals come here at lunch.

My only nightlife experience in Quito is at the hotel Auberge Inn (see my accomodation tip). This is not at all "Saturday Night Fever" but you can meet other travelers, share your experiences and your plans, and have a beer or two! Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and Drinking

This is not the kind of place I normally go. It’s expensive and quite touristy but it does have a great location and I wanted to try canelazo. All that said, it’s a romantic little place right on the Plaza de San Francisco. The outside seating area offers a great view of the square lit up quite colorfully at night and even has heaters to help keep the chill off. It is also fenced off and has a guard to keep beggars from bothering you as you enjoy a drink that could probably feed them for an entire day.
The food looked to be pretty expensive and we were strictly there for the canelazo, a warm apple cider livened up with aguardiente, a high octane alcohol. It was a lovely warming drink perfect for Quito evenings. We went back a few weeks later only to be told that no alcohol could be served due to the local elections!
You'll need a jacket if sitting out at night in Quito. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: Plaza San FranciscoDirections: right in the Plaza San Francisco in Quito's Old Town

Great place to go and chill with some friends. They serve up the regular sortmet of drinks and pass around a chart of music to pick from. So, if you get there in descent time, you can pick what music is to be played that night. Because of this arrangement, the music is very varied from hip-hip, salsa, and Grease! Dance to your favorite, and sit down and enjoy a beer and your company when the other music is played. The crowed is a blend between Ecuadorians and gringos.
Kinda "iffy" if there is a cover charge or not, but if you get there early you are likely to not have to pay.

The place is on the left right after NO BAR and right before Monique (Monique is down the stairs, Huaina is up the stairs and in the little corridor.

As we left the restaurant La Cueva del Oso, we heard music, singing and yelling.
Of course, we wanted to satisfy our curiosity.
Like this we arrived at the plaza de Independencia, where a group of young people were celebrating.
There was life music, and lots of singing, yelling and dancing.
It was a kind of celebration of university students.

There was loud music on the Plaza. And the group of young students were dancing on the Plaza.
An open Ranchero was waiting for them in order to transport them to another Plaza, where they could continue their celebration.
At the other side of the Plaza there was another group of young people dancing and singing. Leave a Comment Theme: Live Music

Because of the music, we took another road, and like this we arrived at this big Plaza.
I was kind of overwhelmed by the beauty of the lighted colonial buildings.
And I must also tell you that there were almost 28 days in between my first visit to Quito and this one. So like this I was really convinced that I had missed this square at my first visit. I did not recognise these buildings.
Wow, so beautiful, it was almost impossible that I had been here, a month ago.
Till the moment that one of my fellow travellers, told me that the big building on the other side was the Cathedral, and then I started to remember the buildings as the looked like by daylight. Indeed this was the biggest square of old Quito The plaza de independencia.
How strange, that a city-view can change at night.

Our hotel was at the corner of Plaza de Santa Domingo. And we had a splendid view over the Plaza, that is why we all enjoyed the view and the lighted Church on Plaza de Santo Domingo.
The first night we did not walk around because we were pretty tired after a long flight and the acclimatisation to the altitude.
But on our last day in Ecuador we had another chance to discover Quito at night.

This place is great. You might have to pay $4 to get in, but that will give you a free drink (mojito or cuba libre) and you get to dance the night away to live Cuban music! The music is great, and the people working there don't mind showing you some steps (trust me, they really know what they are doing!). The atmosphere is great and the crowed varied, but what you all have together is that you want to sweat the night away salsa dancing!!!

This is an awesom place. When we went here with our Ecuadorian friends, we were the only gringas/os in the place. After that we had the guts to sing an English song on the karoeke machine, we were accepted into the group. At the end of the night, we were all singing together with all of our NEW Ecuadorian friends. They also turn the karoeke machine of every now and then so that you can dance. Of course, being the only gringas in the bar, there were always plenty of guys wanting to dance with you.
So go here, sit somewhere in the middle, order some Pilsner, and just enjoy yourself!
