  1. Clásico

    With a nod to the genteel decór of an English country house, this dance club has upholstered walls and tiers of smart banquettes that rise around a dance floor that pulses like a two dimensional Rubik’s Cube on acid. The ‘classic’ music shuffle includes techno, disco and tunes from the ’80s and ’90s. It’s next door to the Borakay bar and the Hotel Camino Real, though not reachable via the hotel. Go by car or taxi.

  2. Live

    Just west of the Holiday Inn, you'll find the locals dancing on the seats of this pulsing, packed nightclub. DJs spin a blend of pop, rock and electronica, and there's usually a band playing in the wee margarita-soaked hours. Men cough up around $120 cover on Fridays and Saturdays.

    Habana Cafe Salseros, take your places! Tucked next door to the Hotel Camino Real, the city views from this hilltop dance club are as hot as the moves. Stop in from 21:00 to 23:00 for free salsa classes so you can warm up for the live music starting at midnight.

  6. Borakay

    The city views from this swanky hilltop karaoke club inspire many a booze-boosted crooner. Enjoy the panorama and some between-the-tables dancing on its palapa terrace.

  7. Santa Diabla

    A schizophrenic nightclub: it offers an angelic bar lit by tin stars, and a devilish disco with live rock and salsa starting at 1:30am. It’s about 2.5km from Plaza Cívica.

  8. Café Biomaya

    One of numerous good cafés on the Jardín de la Marimba, this one serves organic indigenous-grown brew and sports low-slung black sofas that may lead to indolent lingering.
