nightlife
If you want to whoop it
up in Santiago you will have a lot of possibilities. The best days
are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Then it gets pretty lively
and huge, buzzing crowds pour into the streets and bars of the nightlife
zonas . These fall into three main areas: Bellavista , characterized
by its small, informal restaurants and cafés, many of which
put on live music after 11pm, usually guitar music, boleros or Latin;
Providencia , packed with slick, American-style bars that pull in
a huge crowd of professional types, including lots of expats and
foreign visitors; and Nuñoa , the heart of Santiago's "underground"
scene, where the bars and cafés lining the main square are
filled with nonchalant students in ripped black jeans and leather
jackets.
