Music entertainment in Chile

  1. Chill-e

    Painted bright red and green like the colors of a spicy chili, this multiroomed lounge would be hip in Santiago, let alone Puerto Natales. Come chill out on a couch (in your own side room if you have an entourage), sample Mexican snacks, sip cocktails or fine wines, and listen to a variety of DJs on the decks. Only open on weekends in winter.

    Soho Discotheque

    Some of the hippest bars and discos are strung along Playa Chinchorro, including Soho Discotheque and the attached pub Drake, both of which get a variety of DJs as well as live salsa and rock bands.

    Blondie

    The ’80s still rule at least one floor of Blondie, while the other could have anything from goth rock and techno to Britpop or Chilean indie. A favorite with both Santiago’s student and gay communities, it’s usually packed.

    Batuta

    Enthusiastic crowds jump to ska, patchanka (think: Manu Chau) and cumbia chilombiana; rockabilly and surf; tribute bands and goth rock… at Batuta, just about anything alternative goes.

    Pub Mister Ed

    Despite the random 1960s TV reference, Pub Mister Ed is known to play reasonably contemporary music and get energetic on the weekends. It is next to Hostería de Castro.
