Best Nightlife in Santiago (2026)

Santiago's nightlife is spread across several districts. Bellavista, between the Mapocho and Cerro San Cristóbal, is the traditional bohemian quarter: Patio Bellavista gathers more than 20 restaurants and bars that stay open until 03:00 at weekends, and Siete Negronis, a cocktail bar on The World's 50 Best Bars extended list, now pours its Negronis at Terrazas San Cristóbal nearby. Bar La Providencia, recognised by The World's 50 Best Discovery, mixes pisco-based cocktails in Las Condes and Providencia.

For something more traditional, La Piojera near the Mercado Central has served the terremoto for well over a century, and Bar Liguria in Lastarria serves Chilean bar food and wine late into the night. Jazz lovers should book a table at the Club de Jazz de Santiago, founded in 1943 and now in La Reina, where reservations are required. Use taxis or ride-hailing apps to get back to your hotel, and keep valuables secure in crowded areas.
