Downtown Santo Domingo raises the bar and nightlife scenes up several notches. This is where you will want to dress up and sip on cocktails from mixologists, at the most modern lounges and dance clubs. The Piantini and Naco neighborhoods are abuzz from Wednesday onwards, with after-work crowds who flock to upscale hotel bars and lounges along Winston Churchill and Gustavo Mejia Ricart avenues. For late night dancing, clubs spinning modern sounds abound on Abraham Lincoln and Lope de Vega avenues.
