Batidas

Café Cito, Puerto Plata

Just outside the complex of all-inclusive hotels, this bar is popular with ex-pats, and tourists from nearby resorts. There’s a pool table, sports TV screen, live jazz music, and karaoke on weekends.
Club 60, Santo Domingo

Attracting the older crowd with classic rock, merengue, and ballads, this club is only open on weekends. On Friday and Saturday you can hear merengue, and on Sundays there’s Cuban son for a different Latin beat.
Coconut Milk

Cool coconut milk drunk straight from a freshly chopped nut is the quintessential Caribbean thirst quencher.
Coffee

Locally grown coffee is delicious drunk as a simple espresso, but hotels often offer instant grains.

Conjunto Quisqueya
