La Terraza del Ateneo
The breezy, upstairs terrace of the Ateneo cultural center, La Terraza del Ateneo, becomes an after-hours gathering place for a diverse, arts-minded crowd in the mood for relaxed conversation and off-the-wall music. Meanwhile downstairs, the Café Rajatabla, adjacent to the famous experimental theater of the same name, is an even more laid-back, open-air affair frequented by performing arts types.

Gran Pizzería El León
In Caracas nightlife terms, this famous beer-guzzling spot is known as a predespacho (pre-party), the first stop on a bender that can go until sunrise. It’s an open-air affair on a vast terrace below towering buildings. At the weekend, you’ll find masses of college-age drinkers and beyond jovially debating over row upon row of beer bottles, but it swells on most any night.

Birras Pub & Café
Almost deviant in its lack of security, Birras is a rough-around-the-edges pavement bar at street level, totally exposed to the realities of sundown Caracas – no foliage fences or palm walls to hide behind here. Revelers flood its haphazardly-strewn plastic tables, where the Polars and Soleras pile up into the wee hours, but without fuss over class or status.

360° Roofbar
This innovative open-air lounge atop the Altamira Suites attracts hip scene-makers, who come to chill out on hammocks and sofas in the 19th floor restaurant and sip innovative cocktails over startling panoramic views of the city on the circular rooftop terrace. Access is through the hotel’s rear entrance on 1a Av – and subject to a coolness size up.

El Sarao
A longstanding destination for middle-class rumberos, this massive, subterranean space provides a continuous flow of rum, copious plasma TVs, great live music and enough wicker furniture to fashion an apocalyptic ark. The BsF70 is recoupable in drinks and is often waived for tourists. Access is through the parking garage.

Wassup
This youthful, American-style bar-restaurant provides plenty of distractions for its clientele, from bands on the front terrace to dominoes to at least a dozen TVs tuned to the baseball. So why is everyone staring at their cell phones?

Cordón Bleu
Just up from Plaza Venezuela, 'the hipster bar' is a 50-year-old lounge with a retro vibe and good music. The decor reflects its earlier use as a bordello, with red plush sofas around the perimeter and kitschy art on the walls.

El Naturista
Nominally an arepa joint, after hours this turns into a major beer drinking hangout, frequented by hippies, punks and other outlaws, despite the sign which expressly prohibits this sort of behavior.
