300 Sky Bar & Coffee is the ultimate rooftop experience in Santiago, nestled on the 61st floor of the Gran Torre Costanera—the tallest building in South America. At 300 m above the city, the bar offers 360° panoramic views of Santiago’s skyline and the Andes beyond. Integrated within the Sky Costanera observatory, entry requires a ticket to the viewpoint (€20,000 CLP on weekdays and holidays).

Open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM (last elevator at 21 h), it caters to families by day and shifts to a spirited, DJ‑driven vibe at sunset. Dress code is casual chic. Whether you're sipping coffee by day or cocktails by night, the venue offers an unforgettable blend of altitude, gastronomy, and design—ideal for date nights, special events, or simply soaking in the highest views in Latin America.

Located at José Victorino Lastarria 276 in the bohemian and historic Barrio Lastarria of Santiago, Bocanáriz has earned its place as one of Chile’s most celebrated wine-bars and restaurants. From the moment you step inside this restored heritage house, you’ll be met by rows of bottles, a warm-wood interior, and a team of sommeliers eager to guide you through Chile’s wine landscape. Reviewers describe it as “a meeting place for tourists and locals who love wine” and highlight the friendly and multilingual service. The heart of the experience at Bocanáriz lies in the wine flights: curated sets of 3-5 wines tailored by region, grape variety or theme, often paired with a dish or two. One travel write-up notes: “The menu has been designed according to a map of flavours in order to enhance the flavours of wine.” Food is not an afterthought: the kitchen caters to fine pairings — whether it’s charcuterie, local cheeses, ceviche or thoughtfully composed mains. Reviewers have praised dishes like duck confit and scallop linguine as complements to the wines. Because of its reputation, Bocanáriz can get busy — reservations are strongly recommended, and arriving earlier helps. The dress code is smart-casual, fitting for a relaxed yet refined evening. Pricing is upper-mid for Santiago; you’re paying for craft, selection and expertise. In short: if you’re in Santiago and want more than “just a drink,” Bocanáriz offers an immersive experience into Chilean viticulture, cuisine and ambiance. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or simply curious, it’s a destination worth exploring.

Located in the heart of the vibrant Barrio Bellavista neighbourhood at Barrio Bellavista, Santiago, Red Luxury Bar has established itself as one of the city’s go-to destinations for upscale cocktails and night-out energy. Tucked inside the chic setting of the The Hip Hotel at Patio Bellavista (Constitución 53, Providencia) the bar radiates style with its ambient lighting, sleek design, large back-bar of premium bottles and a social ambience. On the drink side, Red Luxury emphasises high-quality spirits (with more than 280 imported labels reported) and mixologists who craft thoughtful cocktails rather than rapid mass output. One review notes “each cocktail comes with a tapa” and the setting offers “an upscale night out” vibe. Guests praise the combination of ambience and drink-craft: for example “great location with amazing cocktails … for some drinks definitely a place to be.” However, reviewers also warn that you should be ready to invest a little more—prices are higher than many local bars, and service can slow during busy hours. If you’re planning a visit: aim for early evening to secure a good seat, perhaps at the bar to watch the craft in action. The crowd tends toward stylish socialisers rather than rowdy clubbers. Given its setting in a hotel/restaurant complex, it marries lounge comfort with nightlife edge.

Since its founding in the late 19th century and popularised in 1922, La Piojera has stood just off the Mercado Central in Santiago as a colourful, rough-around-the-edges emblem of Chilean “guachaca” bar culture. Located at Aillavilú 1030, in the heart of Santiago’s Centro Histórico, the bar is equal parts timestamp-on-the-wall and full-throttle party venue. Step inside and you’ll find a no-frills, high-energy space: loud local patrons, piles of plastic cups, impromptu singing, and the famed “terremoto” (earthquake) cocktail being passed around. The drink—a mix of cheap white wine (pipeño), pineapple ice cream and grenadine (or sometimes fernet)—is part rite of passage and part shock to the system. Food is simple, hearty Chilean fare: plates to share, grilled meats, and enough atmosphere that the bar is as much performance as drinking. Many visitors emphasise that this is less refined lounge and more authentic bar chaos; expect noise, jostling crowds, and a very local flavour. While its vibe rides high on tradition and locals, visitors are often warned to be mindful: the area can feel rowdy, the service basic, and though the experience is unforgettable, it may not suit everyone looking for quiet sophistication. In short: for an evening that’s messy, spirited, deeply Chilean and impossible to replicate elsewhere, La Piojera is the place. If you’re up for it, go with friends, stay flexible, and respect the local energy.
