Music entertainment in Caracas

  1. A

    Trasnocho Lounge

    The Trasnocho cultural center's minimalist bar is a place to pull up a beanbag chair, sip a martini and chill out with friends as guest DJs work their magic.

    Caracas has by far the most open gay community in what is still a relatively conservative country. When looking for gay-oriented venues, the code phrase to watch for is 'en ambiente.' For additional options, check the websites www.vengay.com and www.rumbacaracas.com (in Spanish).

  2. B

    Moulin Rouge

    Behind the flamboyant windmill facade is Caracas’ leading venue for live alternative rock, with two environments: the performance hall and an adjacent lounge for drum and bass, trance and techno sessions by resident DJs – and, of course, a mock stripper pole just for fun. The crowd is under 30, pleasantly mixed and all too willing to rock until the metro conveniently resumes operation at 5:30am.

    Maroma Roots

    The Rasta bar. The upstairs lounge is where the real skanking goes on – a dim, smoky environment where a DJ works from the front section of an old bus, pumping out a righteous blend of dub, dancehall and more commercial reggae.

    Gohka Club

    DJs, pulsing lights and smoke machines cast a hypnotic spell upon the crowds of well-heeled 20-somethings who crowd into this cavernous hall each weekend for equal doses of electronica, Latin Rock and Caribbean rhythms.
