Other entertainment in Caracas

    Rosalinda

    Backpackers will be shooed away, but hipsters, icons of fashion, the rich, famous and an odd mix of out-of-place misfits clamor for face time inside this Las Mercedes club, the hottest spot in town at the time of research. The shotgun-style space is backdropped by backlit stenciled mirrored walls that beam the merengue, reggaetón and Latin pop right back at ya.

    Malabar

    Nouveau-vintage Malabar is one of the most sophisticated choices in Las Mercedes. Down a long hallway that heads behind the seemingly closed daytime-only restaurant of the same name, you’ll find the jet set sipping classy cocktails and nibbling on Ital-Asian fusion on a gorgeous terraced seating arrangement split down the middle by a cascading, Zen-like stream.

    Uvas

    This cozy wine bar feels as if you’re drinking in a wine crate. The vino is concentrated on Europe and South America, with oddly little by the glass; accompaniments range from Spanish tapas to heartier fare such as coq au vin to an ample cheese menu. Lots of space for single travelers to mingle but service is irritating.

    El Teatro

    This eclectic newcomer on the rise offers two dueling rooms, one usually devoted to rock, the other electronica, drum and bass or hip-hop. It skews towards wealthy, alterna-twentysomethings, who appreciate the more casual door (only rule: no shorts) and expands its artistic edge to stage plays and stand-up comedy on Mondays.

    Lola

    There is Japanese fusion at this trendy, bi-level restaurant, but it’s all about rubbing elbows with the cornucopia of hotness that permeates the bar at this Altamira hotspot, full of Caracas movers, shakers, and those that look so good, it hardly matters if they just stand still – there’s no room to move, anyway.

    Discovery Bar

    A down-to-earth, genuine alt-rock dive, catering to a hyper-aware crowd who come for the alternative rock, reggae and ska that permeates the shotgun-style room all opening nights besides Wednesday, when they wax intellectual with Latin jazz fusion.

    Suka

    Sexy Moroccan souk meets Karma Sutra chic at this dark and sultry bar full of patrons sipping creative cocktails like melon mojitos, orgasmartinis and tangerinhas. DJs spin nightly.

    Barra Bar

    Tucked in a pedestrian alley next to the SENIAT building, this intimate lounge has futuristic decor, a few couches for making out, and electronica, jazz and salsa at conversation-friendly levels.

    Arábica Coffee Bar

    Caffeine junkies unite here over the house-roasted beans whose waft is discernable up and down the block. Espresso, lattes and macchiatos on tap.
