San Juan NightlifeWith its concentration of bars, clubs, salsa cafés and casinos,
visitors to San Juan will find there is something to suit their
partying and entertainment needs on just about any night. As in
most Latin cities, the nightlife only really gets going late but
when it does there''s a good chance you will see in the dawn. Being a major cruise port, much of the nightlife is suited to
tourists looking for a bit of Caribbean flavour and fun. Start off
by watching the sunset with a freshly made
or
(the latter of which was invented at the Hilton
Hotel right here in San Juan) at a beach bar in this sultry city
before heading out to the Old Town to enjoy a leisurely dinner at
one of the many stylish and trendy restaurants. Locals like to look
sharp when going out in San Juan so don''t be afraid to throw your
favourite party outfit on before hitting the town for a night
out. Most of the nightlife is situated in the Old Town, while San
Sebastian Street is a major hotspot dotted with pulsating clubs,
bars and discos. El Batey''s on Calle del Cristo in the Old Town is
a favourite for a night of drinking, pool shooting and mingling,
while the Lobby Lounge fires up the dancefloor with live bands
jamming salsa and meringue beats and even offers dance lessons for
visitors keen on shaking their hips. On Sebastian Street head to Nono''s for a bit of people watching
on the strip, or El Patio de Sam, a popular hangout for locals and
tourists alike, while for some salsa and tropical music, Rumba is
place to be. Those who can''t wait for the party to get started
should stop by the La Rumba Party Cruise, a two-level minicruiser
that is more often than not moored to a point near San Juan''s
cruise pier number 1, a popular hangout for tourists and cruise
passengers looking for a steamy night out. |
