The Best Bar in La Serena, El Norte Chico

Background Illustration for Nightlife

La Serena's nightlife is a little subdued, fitting perfectly with the city's conservative nature. There are few bars in the city proper—most of La Serena's pubs and discos lie near the beach on the glitzy Avenida del Mar.

Ovo Lounge

Vast, modern, and unashamedly generic, Ovo Lounge is a decent option for mainstream music until late every Thursday through Saturday. This chain club tends to attract a slightly more affluent crowd in the 25- to 35-age range.
