Av San Martin
The hippest nightspots are along Av San Martin, between the second and third rings in Barrio Equipetrol, a cheap taxi ride from the center. Hotspots change frequently so it's best to dress to impress and cruise the piranhar (strip, literally 'to go piranha fishing') and see what catches your fancy.

Avenida Busch
Near the university, Avenida Busch is lined with places catering to more serious, mostly male drinkers.
-
Avenida Monseñor Rivero
North of the plaza between the first and second anillos, Avenida Monseñor Rivero is, according to the locals, 'the Equipetrol for the older generations', with fewer discos but more see-and-be-seen cafés and trendy late-night restaurants with sidewalk seating.

Cine Arenal
This building faces Parque El Arenal and screens older releases.

Clapton's Blues Bar
This is a tiny, dark jazz and blues bar with local bands playing to a sparse drinking audience till very late. There can be good jazz here (and very bad rock), so check what's playing by asking at the bar.
-
Divali
At the time of research, this was one of the more popular discos. The girls are groomed and boys muscular. Note that admission prices will go up a lot if you're not looking right.

El Rincón Salteño
Traditional peñas (folk-music programs) are scarce in modern Santa Cruz, but this is an excellent choice. Positioned on the second anillo, there's a great variety of musical styles, from Argentine guitarists to Cuban village drummers and local singers and dancers in costume.
-
Lorca
The meeting place of the city's arty crowd and those loving diversity, Lorca is positively one of the most innovative and happening places in town. It's perfect for chilled caipirinha and mojito cocktails while you enjoy the live music, be it jazz, samba, rumba, the sounds of the Middle East or a local rock band. Before the music starts, short films are screened and there is an art gallery in the back, right next to the little theatre.
