Before going out you should have a tasty dinner with your friends or relatives near to the beach. Due to the fact that the nightlife here starts to be hot around 12 pm, after dinner, it is a good idea to sip a cocktail in one of the bars by the shore with some bachata in the background.

So let’s have a look what does Las Terrenas offers on a night!

There are two kinds of nightlife in Las Terrenas. One of them is made up of the bars and discos situated in the Pueblo de Los Pescadores.

The other one is not that touristy. The real Dominican clubs that you can find on the upper side of the town. There are plenty clubs, like Son Latino, really crowded on Thursday. This is a salsa, bachata, merengue place. Also, tourists use to visit this place but it is more common between local people. 

The crowd, super loud music, beer and rum everywhere, cheap prices and a lot of dance. This is High Level, another club situated in the “Dominican area”. If you want to feel how Dominican truly party you should go at least once.

Pueblo de Los Pescadores is a little street surrounded by colorful houses, most of them are restaurants, bars, and discos. Here, there is a mix of local people, foreigners citizens, and tourists. The atmosphere in Pueblo de Los Pescadores is very enjoyable thanks to this multicultural style.

If you want to start the night with a drink, listening to some latin music, admire to the dancers that move with the wave of the music and maybe try to make some step with them, we suggest starting your night at Clandestino.

Here you find tasty mojitos with different flavoring. Our favorite is the chinola flavored mojito. Or you can have a fresh pina colada and so on.

When the cocktails make them effect and you already loosen up after you tried some salsa or bachata, cross the street and take a look to the Mosquito Art bar.

The atmosphere is really Caribbean, it seems to step into a tropical jungle. Furnitures are savanna styled, everything is made by wood and canes. It is an art bar because paintings by contemporary artists are exhibited perpetually changing. Music is loud, beverages are tasty. There is an area with little desks and sofas and obviously the dancing floor. Music is varied between pop music, electronic and reggaeton. Definitely, this is one of the best spots in town. 

Look through the terrace of Mosquito bar, you will see Reply Disco Club. This club is a warm place! Have you ever seen a movie where latin people is dancing in their way like really close, hot and sensual? Yes, this is that kind of place. With loud reggaeton music all night. Here you can really feel the latino’s warm.
