Best nightclubs Dominican Republic

A flagship venue in Cancún and Playa del Carmen, Mexico, Coco Bongo opened its doors in Punta Cana in 2014. Every evening, 1,800 people from Punta Cana and Bávaro resorts gather to dance the night away. The originality of the venue lies in the multiple shows that punctuate the evening. Combining dance, costumes, circus and pyrotechnics, these are true performances! Almost all hotels sell admission tickets, but you can also buy them directly from their websites.

This is the most sophisticated club in the area. Local atmosphere and latino sounds played until the early morning! Here the party is in full swing all night long and the meetings with locals and tourists are pleasant. However, make an effort to dress up, because in the Dominican Republic the appearance counts in nightclubs (especially to be able to enter!). Do not come in shorts and flip-flops, you will be refused for sure. Euphoria also serves delicious cocktails (with or without alcohol) and cold beers. Have a nice evening!

The speakers of the Altos de Chavón discotheque alternate between merengue and international rock, with a predilection for the latter, given the clientele mainly from the neighbouring complex. The place is nice, but the atmosphere is a bit conventional. One has much more fun in the local discotheques of the downtown area of La Romana. During the week, the club is also a restaurant: various Dominican tapas, hamburgers and baguette sandwiches, Mexican preparations, pasta plates and grilled meats.

Zambra is a popular party venue located in the Piantini area. More accessible and less stuffy than other clubs in the area, Zambra remains a popular spot where people like to dress smartly and sway under the dim lights. While Thursdays are a particularly popular night at the Zambra, the DJs change regularly, so you'll find Latin, electronic or other music depending on the evening. As the place is all the rage for night owls in the mood to party, you're sure to meet some great people.

Facing the Alcazar de Colón, this discotheque bar bears the name of its address. Inside, we discover a neat and sophisticated decoration, but especially a large bar to order a fresh drink with or without alcohol before launching out on the dance floor. The latter is located in a room upstairs where you will not hesitate to sway to traditional music. Thus, you will hear merengue and bachata again and again, throughout the evening. Relaxed and warm atmosphere. Service at the bar is rather fast.

It's the hippest nightclub in the Caribbean! Sprawling over two levels, it regularly plays host to the world's most sought-after DJs, including Erick Morillo, Bob Sinclar, Lil John, DJ from Mars, Steve Angello... singers, bands and regular events. The club is located in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Every Wednesday from 11 p.m. to midnight, admission is free for women, and every Thursday there are "Cool Beats" evenings, for dancing the night away to international tropical-electric rhythms.

In the north of the city, near Las Colinas, here is a bar where the atmosphere rises gradually as the day goes on. Great atmosphere at Tipico which is both a disco and a showroom, as the merengue and bachata dancers who go there are really excellent. Many good musical groups perform here. Some shows are free and others are quite expensive. Taxi or car required to get there. Good service. An original address that should please many of you.

Another atmosphere and another kind of music. The city's young and enthusiastic reggaeton and techno fans flock to this disco, where the DJs are kings and the live bands gods. The atmosphere here only really starts at midnight. You can drink good cold beers or cocktails prepared before your eyes. Dynamic service, just like the atmosphere of the Dubai Club. For fans of non-stop parties and to meet the local youth.

Ahi-Bar is divided into two parts. The first, the Ahi-Bar Café and Grill, is a sort of starter bar, with karaoke on Thursdays and Sundays to warm up the atmosphere. The most shy among you will quickly gain confidence. The alcohol flows freely here and the first approaches to get to know each other start here. Just next door is the Ahi-Bar Dance, a small disco with a caliente atmosphere where the youth of Santiago rush to dance salsa, bachata and merengue. Warm and joyful atmosphere, quality service.

Welcome to Voyvoy Bar where the atmosphere comes alive every day at the end of the day. All week long, we offer themed evenings: karaoke on Mondays, live music on Sundays between 5 and 10 pm, or even reggae or women's nights. All this with your feet in the sand where you can enjoy very good tacos and burritos. Possibility of having a breakfast until 3 pm. Happy hour from 5pm to 7pm. Young and dynamic atmosphere. Smiling service. The Voyvoy Bar will make you spend very good evenings, until the middle of the night.

The Etno has a beach-style lounge bar atmosphere, with deckchairs right next to the bridge over the town's river. At weekends, it's a different story: the place transforms into a spot for electronic music-based parties. Etno is the perfect place for lunch, an aperitif/dinner or a late-drink with your feet in the sand. Various menus and à la carte dishes. Thursday evenings feature live music, while Fridays and Saturdays a DJ takes over the atmosphere from 9pm. The new darling of clubbers!

It is well known that in Punta Cana everything is possible when it comes to partying. This cave would be a first in the world in terms of troglodyte discotheque. This underground labyrinth is composed of several sectors accessible according to the package bought before. Several atmospheres (latina, electro, disco) are proposed for the greatest pleasure of the night owls who never disturb the neighbours above. Not recommended for claustrophobic people.

One of the city's hottest new clubs, it's one of the chicest spots for the local wealthy youth. Once through the door, you'll enter a tunnel into a (man-made) grotto decorated with Taïnos motifs and exotic plants. You then discover a small artificial lagoon, the terrace and the bar overlooked by the DJ. Latina music in general and electro once a month (see their web page). If you play along and come dressed in the evening's theme, admission is free. Come by cab if you're planning to party.

A small Latino bar in the colonial zone, Sartén caters for all salsa, son cubano, merengue and chacha dancers. It's a place where you can dance and learn the steps of these traditional dances until 3am. And to quench your thirst with excellent cocktails and beers. It's all part of a great atmosphere. Be sure to check out the establishment's Instagram page, as they organize many side events, such as mid-week karaoke nights. An address full of Caribbean dynamism.

Popular with young people and reggaeton fans, 75 Grados is famous for its lively Latin rhythms and cheap, exotic cocktails. Crowds flock here at weekends, and sometimes it gets so crowded that it's not easy to dance! Try earlier on weekdays if you want to save room. For a typically Dominican evening, this is one of Santo Domingo's best clubs. Popular with expats, tourists and locals alike, 75 Grados is a great place to meet new people.

The Espiral 313 is a creative and trendy venue where events popular with the city's artistic and LGBTQ+ community are organized. The program includes concerts, workshops of all kinds, designer markets, aperitifs, temporary exhibitions, poetry nights and performances, among others. All accompanied by a friendly bar and restaurant serving an original and tasty menu. Check out the Facebook page or Instagram to see what's going on during your visit to the capital and make sure you don't miss out!

Just around the corner, a block from the waterfront, La Resistencia is the colonial zone's longest closing bar, attracting party-goers who aren't tired! But you don't have to go in the middle of the night: as soon as night falls, the place comes alive. The eclectic, bric-a-brac decor is well worth the detour, at least as much as the sometimes zany local atmosphere. La Resistencia is also one of the capital's LGBTQ+ hot spots! In short, a place that feels like an authentic speakeasy, complete with dance floor, bar and patio!
