Pleasing to residents and visitors, Caracas Hotels and restaurants provide an international cuisine thanks to the multi-ethnic population.
Dining out is a popular entertainment, and caraqueños enjoy a multitude of restaurants,including Spanish, French, Arab and Chinese food as well as local favorites such as Arepas, Pabellón, Mondongo and Cachapa and grilled dishes at parrilleras for a Parrillada Mixta.
You'll find recipes for some of these favorites in these Recipes from Venezuela.
Not for delicate appetites, these mixed grills are hard to resist
No matter where you travel in Latin America, you'll find grilled meat, carne asada, on the menu. Seafood and poultry are also grilled at parrillas, restaurants specializing in grilled foods.
Particularly popular in Argentina and Colombia, the mixed grill called Parrillada Mixta can be any combination of meats and poultry. In Brazil, the churrascaria rodizio is tremendously popular. Rather than ordering a set combination of meats, diners select from the grilled meats brought around the restaurant on large skewers. When they can eat no more, they turn their table token from the yes to the no side.
A Parrillada Mixta del Mar is a mixed seafood grill served with garlic butter or Tartar sauce.
In Argentina, the meat is often grilled at the table, and includes various cuts of steak, lamb, pork, sausages, sweetbreads, and internal organs not often found on US menus.
Some of the items used are:
falda - skirt steak
matambre - flank steak
chorizo - spicy sausage
salchicha - long, thin, slightly less spicy sausage
higado - liver
riñones - kidneys
mollejas - sweetbreads
ubre - udder
chinchulin - lower intestine
asado de tira - short rib steak
bife de costilla- T-bone steak
bife de chorizo - rib roast steak
lonjas de carne de res
lonjas de carne de cerdo
The meat is cooked in huge cuts on a spit over fire, and sections cut by the grill chef, or asador, to be finished to taste, either in the kitchen or at the diner's table on a portable grill. Leave a Comment Theme: Nightclub

If you are gay, I recommend Copa's, although more so for lesbians. There were gay men, it was more a woman's place, and it was (at least in December 06) the only womans' place, it seemed. Do not rely too much on lonely planet as a guide as the latest edition had me going to clubs that had been shut down 2 years. Copa's is a big square room with a dj and two small bars - that's basically it. It's not fancy but it is a good time and a must if you're a gay/bi woman) and probably worth it if you're a gay man as well, at least for a quick stop. People get there late (after 12) and the cover of about 5 American gets you a few free drinks.
casual, wear anything (although like anywhere a fanny pack and flip-flops might get you some stares) Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubAddress: El Rosal

I liked the club but i was way posh then. It would not become me now. Techno/dance and lots of semi-plastic beautiful peeps.
You wanna dress up... Slacks and pants, button ups and blouses Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubAddress: club/cafe districtDirections: I'm not sure where exactly but as you're driving down the pan american highway west bound, exit downtown by the neon light signs and the arabian nights hotel. there is a club cafe district near by. it's generally near El Centro Comerciale Sabana Grande.

Nightclub blaze in Caracas
A fire ripped through a packed basement nightclub in downtown Caracas early on Sunday, killing 47 people, most of them suffocated by smoke in what was one of the deadliest blazes in Venezuela's recent history.
Witnesses described scenes of panic as several hundred revellers stampeded for the exit trying to escape choking clouds of toxic smoke which filled the downstairs Goajira bar and nightclub in Caracas' Baralt Avenue.
Eight people were taken to hospital with burns and around 20 were treated for the effects of smoke.
"They were climbing all over each other to get out. The flames were amazing. They were carrying out bodies all night," said Rafael Chacon, a 19-year-old student who lives opposite the club.
The fire occurred a day before political opponents of President Hugo Chavez were set to stage a general strike to pressure the leftist leader to hold an early referendum on his rule in the world's No. 5 oil exporter.
"Unfortunately, we have 47 victims dead," Caracas Fire Chief Rodolfo Briceno told reporters. Of those who died, 32 were men and 15 women.
He said it was too early to say what caused the blaze.
But some reports from witnesses said the fire broke out after a fight between patrons over a woman inside the nightclub, one of dozens located a few blocks from the Miraflores presidential palace in the seedy downtown area.
"It was all very quick. I was pulled out, but others were trapped," said 20-year-old Marilin, who worked at the bar.
"This was a hell of a blaze. There was tons of smoke. Whoever was trapped inside got burned. It was a miracle that anyone escaped," street seller Jairo Silva, who witnessed the blaze, said. "The place was always full Saturdays," he added. Leave a Comment Theme: Nightclub

If you happen to be alone and/or are not very much into those stylish and crowded upper-class spots, this is a small english-style pub just south of Plaza Altamira. (Rather) Safe surrounding, opens daily 6pm - 3am. Don't be confused - only the interior looks english, the people and the music are caraqueño... Theme: OtherAddress: Av. Sur Altamira near corner J. Félix SosaPhone: 267 1760Directions: 100m south of Plaza Altamira

Oh... wonderful and safe night activity: stay at your friends' house, with spectacular windows on a fifth floor, and just watch the city's lights from there. I have never seen something like that! Maybe the city from the Seven Turns hill at Florianópolis can give you an idea, but this is... wow, better than Río de Janeiro.
Too bad many of those lights come from very poor urban sectors....
Oh, you can wear your pajamas! :-) Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Not allowedDirections: I don't rember where I was... :( Coming soon.
