Best nightclubs Santo Domingo

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!

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.

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!
