La Sarten - Santo Domingo - Live music
I was doubtful about writing this tip or not. This place is so authentic that I'm somewhat afraid that "advertising" it would be a bad idea. On the other hand, I'm sure that very few of the package tourists will go never there. This is not the kind of spot that "sand and sun and sex" crowds are looking for... However, if you are a visitor with genuine interest with Dominican culture and way of life you will love this place, and you'll be welcome here.
The place is a small bar. You can easily pass by without noticing it. The crowd was quite "old", lets's say around their fifties, but a few young people as well. I think everyone is welcome here, the only requisite is love for the authentic Salsa music and dance. This particular day they had an Uruguayan singer and entertainer as invited artist, later a nice lady singing some classic bachatas. Between performances, music to dance... A really polite and somewhat old-fashioned gentleman gave me some free lessons of salsa dance (I just loved the way he approached me and later took my chair for me to seat, he make me feel like in an old classic b&w movie :) !!) Later we spoke about his willing to visit Barcelona some day, and how we were enjoying his beautiful country... Well, I'm afraid you need to speak a decent Spanish to fully appreciate the place. But in any case, it would be nice to have a drink while enjoying the live music and people watching.

La Zona - Santo Domingo
Santo Domingo's colonial zone has so many trendy bars, restaurants and discos, all around the colonial square. There are spots for every single taste, age and musical preference. Musical rhythms - salsa, merengue and bachata - are as diverse as visitors.
There are no favorite rhythms, you can define your night according to your particular tastes and likes. Known locally as "la Zona", the area is the favorite spot for a hot disco, a quiet romantic dinner, or a just drink in one of the many popular bars spotted all around the colonial streets.
Wander, find "your" place, and enjoy yourself! But remember: most places don't get good until quite late, after midnight. So... take a nap and head to "la Zona".
