The best bars and cafés East

This open-air restaurant-bar-bar, with its warm, fashionable decor, is home to all the hip Europeans who work at the local resorts. You'll enjoy well-crafted Italian cuisine (for once, pizzas are not on the menu), with lobster spaghetti as the star attraction. But beware, the activities start late. Merengue is less in the spotlight than international music, but free Cuba is still the order of the day. Several international DJs come to perform and set the place on fire!

The establishment is run by an Italian and a Quebecer, and the latter, a singer by trade, does not hesitate to take the microphone to cover Aznavour's greatest hits. Known by the whole village for his karaoke, he offers a relaxed and good-natured atmosphere. If, every day, you can enjoy nachos to soak up the caipirinha and delicious shrimp pasta, on Thursday evenings, customers gather around a good barbecue to swallow meat parilladas . A really nice address.

This chain of bars, which can be found all over the country, opened its Cortecito establishment in 2013. In just ten years, it has become one of Bávaro's main party spots. Happy hourevery day and theme nights throughout the year (singles, Halloween, etc.). The dance floor is especially lively from Thursday to Sunday, with local DJs playing until the wee hours! There's also a good selection of snacks, from burgers and pizzas to Mexican tapas.

Punta Cava is at the back of Punta Cana Village (a small collection of boutiques and restaurants), just opposite the Four Points Sheraton. It'sthe place to be at night in Punta Cana! The restaurant serves pretty good international cuisine, from sushi to octopus taquitos. At night, champagnes, international wines and cocktails are served, to be enjoyed by couples or friends to good music on comfortable sofas. The service is particularly attentive. Very popular on weekends.
