Where to Drink & Dance in Santiago de los Caballeros

For the best discoteca in Santiago to dance the night away we recomend Level Nightclub, perched atop the parking building of Bella Terra Mall. Drive right up and park a few meters from the entrance, swapping the concrete of the parking lot for the club's marble floors, mirrored ceilings, and velvet furnishings, illuminated by LED lights. It's a striking transition! 

Inside, you're greeted by male bartenders donning kilts (what's underneath is anyone's guess!) and a spacious dance floor where the music hits you with full force. If you're keen to immerse yourself in the latest Dominican beats and pulsating rhythms of dembow, Level's the place to be. 

Just remember, the club comes alive on weekends, especially Saturdays. Level Nightclub can be found on Avenida Juan Pablo Duarte. For those arriving on foot, simply take the elevator from the ground floor to reach the club. Find more information on their Instagram.

In Santiago's historic center, just a couple of blocks from Parque Duarte, Zumbador Arts Bar is a real find. This cool spot is set in an old colonial house, complete with a prominent balcony. Inside, you'll wander through rooms, each with its own character. Start in a cozy art-filled space, then hit the bar area with its tall ceilings and exposed brick charm. The best spot? Definitely the breezy open-air courtyard patio beneath a towering jagua tree.

It's got a relaxed, vintage feel with a shop for organic and handmade stuff, and often DJs liven up the scene. The food menu might not be vast, but it packs a flavorful Creole punch. And yes, there are great vegan and vegetarian options too. The atmosphere here is super homey, like visiting a good friend's house or hanging out in your own backyard.

Open every day till midnight, you'll find Zumbador on Calle Restauración 139. Remember, there's no parking, and the unassuming exterior is part of the allure. Check their Instagram to learn about any upcoming events.

Fancy a casual spot to kickstart your evening in Santiago de los Caballeros? Swing by La Rue Tapas & Bar. It's the perfect place for a laid-back drink with friends, whether you're gearing up for a night out or just unwinding after a busy day.

Enjoy the open-air vibe on the large outside covered deck facing the street, where there's no AC but plenty of cool breezes. Sip on their famous mojitos or the standout "Super Blue" cocktail. The music, a mix of smooth Latin tunes, reggaeton, and the occasional English pop hit, is always at just the right volume for good conversation.

Open daily from 4:30 PM and extending till 2:00 AM on weekends, La Rue's inviting open-air setting is enhanced with a special 2x3 Corona deal on Thursdays and Sundays. Find this bar at Jose A. Patiño Martínez, corner of Calle 10 in Villa Olga. Stay in the loop with their latest happenings on Instagram @laruebartapas.
