Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
(Calle Flor de Bayahibe, Bayahibe)
One of the best bars this side of the DR sits hidden in a res-
idential neighborhood less than five minutes walk from the water. A local expat favorite -
they thought tourists would never find it. Guess again! A gaggle of hipster Italian wait-
resses oversee the dark and sexy, multi-room space with picnic and pool tables and a
swing!
To find it, head south on Calle Nuevo Bayahibe and hang a left at the third street on the
left - there should be a boat on the corner - it's about 300m on the left.
