Catedral, Bar The most happening bar in Santiago and the place to see-and-be-seen. A word to the wise: Get there early, before 9pm, or prepare yourself to wait forever for a table or a place at the bar.

Happening, Restaurant Succulent grilled meats are the signature of this Argentinean-owned steakhouse, but there's plenty more on offer here than sizzling flesh, including grilled fish, pastas, and salads.

La Casa en el Aire, Live Music Candle lit ambience and nightly live music (except Wed) that begins at 8 or 9pm on weeknights, and 11pm on weekends.

Opera, Restaurant Opera is a polished, fine-dining establishment, with exposed brick walls, contemporary paintings, and white linen tablecloths, and it is small enough to require reservations far in advance.
