Practical information : Take a break Dominican Republic
Timetable
Bakeries, cafeterias and ice-cream parlors are generally open all day, until 7, 8, 9 or even later. However, there are no hard and fast rules here, and to avoid going out in vain, it's best to make a quick phone call. Bars, even more fashionable than discos, in the capital as well as in Santiago and Las Terrenas, generally open their doors during the day, but tend to fill up around 6-7pm and close around 1 or 2am, sometimes even later.
Budget & Tips
In the capital's cafeterias, the price of a breakfast is around $250/300, while a cocktail generally costs between $300 and $500. You can generally get by for less if you frequent more typical addresses. As for Santo Domingo, it's particularly pleasant to have an evening drink in the colonial zone. Not only is it a far cry from the hustle and bustle of the Malecón, but the monuments are beautifully highlighted by a clever play on lighting. Opposite the Alcazar, in the Plaza de España, all the bars of the Atarazana are pleasant. Le Condé also boasts inviting terraces.
Age restrictions
Minors, i.e. people under the age of 18, are officially prohibited from consuming alcohol in the Dominican Republic.
What's very local
At weekends, and even on weekdays in the larger towns, it's at the local colmado - a typical grocery store selling all kinds of goods (food, household products, etc.) - that Dominicans go to feast to the sound of merengue. This is the place to go for a real taste of the local atmosphere.
Kids
Children are generally welcome just about everywhere in the Dominican Republic, except perhaps in certain adult-only clubs in seaside areas.
Smokers
While smoking is banned in gourmet shops, cafés and bars generally have airy areas or terraces where customers can smoke.
