Santo Domingo Nightlife

Santo Domingo's nightlife is vast and ever changing. Check with the concierges and hip capitaleños. Get a copy of the free newspaper Touring, Aqui o Guía de Bares Restaurantes—all available free at the tourist office and at hotels—to find out what's happening. At this writing there is still a curfew for clubs and bars; they must close at midnight during the week, and 2 AM on Friday and Saturday nights. There are some exceptions to the latter, primarily those clubs and casinos in hotels. Sadly, the curfew has put some clubs out of business, but it has cut down on the crime and late-night noise, particularly in the Zone.
