Caracas Nightlife
You'll find few Latin American cities with nightlife as energetic as that in Caracas, and that is saying something on a continent that prides itself on partying until the llamas come home. The best clubs, bars and cafes are found in the districts of Las Mercedes, Altamira, El Rosal and La Castellana. Bars open their doors around 1900 but most barflies don't come out until 2300 when the action really starts. Most clubs open around 2200 and shut around 0500 or when the last reveller leaves.
