A trendy, good-looking
crowd flocks to this 7th-floor disco where Justin Bieber's entourage tussled their way into
the tabloids in late 2013. Besides offering great views of the city, there's live music -
salsa, merengue - most nights of the week and
bachata
on Mondays. Happy hour is from
5pm to 9pm.

Replete with an upstairs VIP

This sophisticated club doubles as a cigar
lounge with good wine and mixed drinks thrown in as well. It has a dance floor for mer-
engue and salsa and live music on Wednesday. Weekends tend to be a hodge-podge of
salsa, merengue, reggaeton and Latin rock.

popular with foreign tourists as Dominicans, this is still an interesting place to party.
Located inside a huge underground cave in the Parque Mirador del Sur, this club hosts
everything from raves to live merengue and hip-hop acts.

Haagen-Dazs
