South America Chile Santiago Bars & Nightlife

Overview

Bars & Nightlife The guide was updated: 2024-04-25

Santiago's nightlife takes place mainly outside the historic city centre, in the downtown area. The Bellavista district, in particular, is known for its quirky bars, lively restaurants, and buzzing nightclubs.

In the Barrio Brasil, you will have the opportunity to get to know the somewhat less-touristy side of Santiago's nightlife and find many smaller pubs and bars that are popular among the locals.

Recently, the middle-class district of Ñuñoa has become increasingly popular among those who want to spend an evening away from the, perhaps, a bit too alternative Bellavista district.

To complete the picture of what Santiago's nightlife is like, add a forward-looking music scene, a great interest in design, and a wide selection of craft beers to this colourful mix.

BocaNariz

BocaNariz

BocaNariz is Santiago's newest and hottest vino bar located in the Lastarria neighborhood. The wine menu is incredibly extensive and arranged according to region and style, premium wine is available by the bottle or by the glass. To make this experience perfect, BocaNariz' interior will make you feel like you entered a cozy library.

Ruca Bar

Ruca Bar

If you are a gin lover, check out Ruca Bar in the Barrio Italia neighbourhood as it is one of the few places where you will be able to find this liquor. It is a popular spot to hang out and meet friends for some drinks. Ruca Bar is also notable for their delicious selection of tapas.

Tramonto Bar & Terrace

Tramonto Bar & Terrace

Tramonto Bar & Terrace is the top destination for sunset drinks, set in a prime location on Alonso de Córdova, Santiago’s mini Madison Avenue. Enjoy the stunning views of the Andes while you sip on your pisco sour. When the sun is setting, waiters bring out candles and transform this rooftop terrace into a romantic nightlife hotspot.

Chipe Libre

Chipe Libre

Pisco, the much-loved brandy Chileans are so proud of, has caused many debates about who made it first, Chile or Peru. Chipe Libre is the perfect place to try both Chilean pisco as well as pisco from Peru and learn more about them. Decide for yourself which one you prefer.

La Piojera

La Piojera

La Piojera is a favorite among locals and an authentic meeting place where popular urban links can be recognized. It was established as a bar in 1896 and has become one of the city’s oldest and most beloved picás (dive bars). Trying a terremoto here is a must on every trip to Santiago.

The Jazz Corner

The Jazz Corner

The Jazz Corner is located in the Barrio Italia and hosts the best jazz players from Chile and the rest of the world – this is the place to go for live jazz music. Not only music and ambiance are perfect here, the drinks and food are amazing as well.

Club Eve

Club Eve

Club Eve is a giant nightclub with four floors, two of them being underground. There is a balcony overlooking one of the floors as well as an outside terrace to socialise and sip on a cocktail. There is music from electro pop to pachanga, so no matter your preference you will have a great night here.

Blondie

Blondie

Blondie's dance floors feature music that ranges from 80s and 90s hits to Chilean indie and Britpop. This is a favorite among students as well as Santiago's gay community. The club is usually packed, so you are guaranteed to have a fun night out with your friends.
