This has been asked a few times, we suggest the Colonial Zone, on the Conde.

I agree with planner. I see tons of expats in zona colonial. However, I see a lot over by Blue mall and Acropolis too. On the Chuchy north of 27 de Febrero. Safe area, great sushi.

For those who don't know Chuchy = Churchill as in Avenida Winston Churchill.

Oh sorry! I'll clarify next time

We all do this honey,聽 we forget that many dont know the slang or shortened names. I remember the first time I hunted for聽 Chuchi......LOL聽 I was lost for a long time.

For the people who want to get out on modern places and know the modern Santo Domingo (no merengue places, no bachata places, just modern music and modern people), you can text me on a private message.聽

Yea. I would suggest La Zona Colonial ... I visit often and usually see people in that area also with a mix of locals. El Conde has several bars and cafes also.

Hey I was thinking of opening a Jazz/Latin bar in Santo Domingo any suggestions

welcome to the forums.聽 HOw many times have you been to SD? Do you live here?聽 Do you speak Spanish?聽 Do you know hte law? Have you run a bar before? I have a hundred questions for you.

Good idea - maybe!聽 聽Maybe not. Depends on many many things.

are you still around?聽 i would like the information you offered.

Who are you asking honey? I am here. I am always here....

And welcome.to the forums

Every day is a learning day, I could guess as Dominican the meaning of Chuchy but wasn't sure untill planner confirmed, hahaha sounds very funny.聽 I see a lot foreigners in Colonial Zone, at nights also a lot places where to go with a variety of music, Sundays at Bony茅 concerts is full of locals and tourist too.

I was in the Peace Corps in the DR decades ago and there was an expat bar in the Colonial Zone across the street from the fort.聽 Does anyone remember the name of it?聽 And is it still there?
