Drinking & Nightlife
Four Brothers

Dance up a storm to dancehall, country and reg-
gae on the wooden dance floor at this legendary disco ranch, comfortable in the know-

going until after midnight. Go in a group, it sometimes gets a little rough later on.
CLUB
Midnight Dream (LaLa's)
(Iglesia, 2c N; 11am-midnight)
With an open-air deck that feels like it is floating on the
bay and ridiculously loud reggae numbers, this atmospheric spot is undeniably the coolest
bar on the coast.

This popular, massive late-night venue has
two very distinct zones. The open terrace bar downstairs is favored by hard-drinking sea-
farers and prostitutes while upstairs is one of the more upmarket clubs in town, playing an
eclectic mix of Latin pop, rock and dancehall.
