    The cheap prices at this trendy, split-level bar belie the top quality of the world-class cocktails whipped up by some of Chile's best bartenders.

    Founded in 1897, this traditional porteño hangout claims to be the oldest bar in the city. It's an iconic spot for folk music and cueca dancing with all the salty sailors, sticky tables, and memorabilia-stuffed walls to prove it!

    Fishing nets hanging from the ceiling, brightly polished wood floors, and black-and-white photos on the walls give this bar-restaurant an old-fashioned feel. Patrons come for a bite to eat, from chorrillana (French fries topped with eggs, onions, and beef) to ceviche, and then stay for the beer on tap.

    A trendy take on the classic Chilean dive, this bustling backstreet bar boasts a dozen local craft beers on tap and more than 100 pisco labels, which it claims is the largest selection in Chile. Overflowing sandwiches, deep-fried empanadas, and massive chorrillanas (French fries topped with cheese, meat, onions, and fried eggs) help soak up all the alcohol.

    This long-running bar and nightclub may be tucked into a 100-year-old building, but it never seems to go out of fashion. DJs rattle the walls of two dimly lit dance floors each weekend, while emerging rock bands take to the stage at the attached concert hall. During the week, you can expect live-streamed soccer matches, cover bands, stand-up comedy, and an eclectic cast of characters.

    This low-lit bar with exposed brick walls under the Ascensor Reina Victoria makes the Central Coast's best craft beers, as well as a killer gin and tonic with its home-distilled Altamira Gin. The music is funky, the service is grand, and the elevated pub grub is delicious. Don't forget to check out the small beer museum in the back.

    Get a double shot of porteño (port city) nightlife at this classic restaurant with two rooms that feature two different acts simultaneously. Go ahead and try the traditional Chilean food, but the real reason to come is for the cueca, Chile's national dance. Forget everything you might know about the traditional folklore show. This is the gutsy, gritty, eye-to-eye, forehead-to-forehead cueca chora, which has undergone a revival in the past few decades. If you want a table, you'll need to come early—and plan on staying into the wee hours.

    A favorite in this port city, music fans should check out La Piedra Feliz, which hosts performances by Chile's best bands Tuesday through Saturday. This multivenue locale has something for everyone, with different types of music or activities in various rooms. Plan on a very late night here—there won't be much going on until after 10 or 11 pm.

    The huge antique mirrors of Bar La Playa, just west of Plaza Sotomayor, give it a historic feel. Open since 1908, it's Valparaíso's oldest bar. Go for lunch or for drinks in the evening—in Valpo, the later the better. Things tend to pick up around midnight on weekends in January and February.

    Listen to live tango and other traditional Latin music Tuesday through Saturday here at Cinzano, an old-fashioned watering hole and restaurant facing Plaza Aníbal Pinto that's been open since 1896. The walls above the bar are decorated with scenes of old Valparaíso, including some notable shipwrecks. The restaurant serves traditional dishes for lunch and dinner daily. The dance floor—if you can call it that—is miniscule, but that doesn't stop people from dancing tango or cueca urbana in what little space there is between tables.
