Montevideo’s nightlife scene is a smattering of pubs, bars, clubs, and tango and folk music venues. With few exceptions, bars and clubs come to life around 1 am and don't close until it's time for breakfast. Still, "after office" outings are popular, which is essentially happy hour with groups hitting the bars on an earlier-than-usual schedule.
Plenty of beer and middling cocktails, live "nacional rock" band, and lots of friendly locals to party with until the wee hours. The atmosphere is casual—no dressing up for club night—and though the music can get pretty loud, it's not ear-bleedingly so.
A happening jazz club with a lively cocktail and wine scene that's also well known for their tasty, imaginative tapas. It's a great place to meet and chat with some Montevideanos or just enjoy the music and cocktails.
