The Santiago Nightlife offer has been growing, and there are now more options available to go out, have a good drink and have fun with friends. Therefore, we have decided to put together a list of our favorite Bars in the city. We don´t go out much – Guilty of too much Netflix binging, wine and takeout 😉 – so when we do, we like good drinks, great atmospheres and dressing up.
Just, so you know there is no dress etiquette in the city, people are very relaxed when they go out. So, in most places you don´t have to worry about formality, or going out with your sneakers.
The List, Random order:
1) Whisky Blue: Bar/Nightclub at the W. Great place to go out for drinks and some music. It is a fancier venue, so you should dress up nicer.
2) Sala Gente: Dance Club, with great parties. They hold different theme parties on Thursday Friday and Saturdays, so you have to buy tickets before or find some contact to get you on a list.
3) Candelaria: This dance club has good atmosphere and music. It plays current pop, dance and some old hits. Sometimes the bouncer at the door, gets funny and asks you to be on some list, but try talking to them so they let you in.
4) Ruca Bar: loving this cool spanish bar at barrio Italia. Favorite spot in Barrio italia for a long shot. They have great food and drinks.
5) Ky: This is a Thai restaurant with a good bar atmosphere, but make sure to sit outside in the tented terrace. When you get there, you will think you are in the wrong address, but no the creepy house and doorbell means you are there.
6) Etniko: Good Sushi! But also great atmosphere and drinks. Hands down our favorite place of the Bellavista area.
7) Bar Constitucion: This is a big nightclub bar; it has like three different atmospheres and music. Compared to others, it stays open to later hours of the morning.
8) Taringa: Great Bar! Great Atmosphere! Nice Food. So it is practically impossible finding a table, especially on a Thursday. It has a great rustic feel and friendliness.
9) Bocanariz: Best Chilean wine selection in the city, they have amazing tapas and small things to eat while you drink. It´s always full and you have to make reservations. The downside it closes earlier, has it is a restaurant also.
10) De La Ostia: Enjoy a some spanish tapas in a relaxed casual atmosphere. The food is good and it has good price value.
11) Liguria: Typical Chilean bar, with and old feel and decorations. The walls are packed with memorabilia from older times. This is a great place to take visitors out for a traditional Chilean night.
