The best bars and cafés Central

Get ready to enter a place where the atmosphere never stops. At Vamo Al Drink (VMAD, as the sign on one of the wooden walls indicates), you can drink cocktails and local beers on the terrace, and dance in the cool of the night to deafening music, most of which is played by a DJ. Dynamic and smiling service, lively atmosphere until the middle of the night. On match days, the VMAD is packed with fans cheering for their favourite team. A must-see

The nights of La Vega, during the week, are relatively quiet. But when the weekend comes, a gentle madness takes over the city, like the imminent need and in perfect timing to have fun. The Cacique Bar is a perfect demonstration of this. On Fridays, it transforms into a disco and becomes one of the city's temples to bachata, merengue and salsa. Let yourself be carried away by the music and the dance steps that follow one another in perfect sync, without even realizing it. Good cocktails and service.

A place you'd expect to find in a trendy Madrid neighborhood rather than in the middle of the Dominican mountains! This little chalet facing the church boasts a dark beer brewed on the premises: Ferringer. People flock to the central counter to taste it and share a few tapas with friends. On the walls, painted portraits of great rock figures announce the musical trend of the place. In fact, every Wednesday there's a concert, much to the delight of regulars. Wide choice of international beers.

Run by a young and friendly Dominican couple, this cosy literary café is located in a small pedestrian street in downtown Santiago.

On the menu, coffees, cappuccinos, iced coffee, teas, fresh and sweet smoothies, tapas, bagel, panini, pizza... Also a brunch service and vegetarian dishes. A great address.
