This is the best place to enjoy the summer sun. It’s not often you find a terrace where you can sit and enjoy an extensive cocktail list, craft beer and the choice of a couple of street food vans. With a higher price tag than Pio Nono, it’s definitely worth the treat!

LOOM

Bar, American, Pub Grub, Beer

This quirky craft beers and burger bar has both tasty food and an interesting selection of beers, from local Chilean brews to the well-known international ones. Although craft beer isn’t massively well known in Chile, this is one of the best establishments for it. Each day of the week they have a discount, whether it’s on sangria, tequila shots or chicken wings.

Kilkenny Irish Pub

Pub, Pub Grub, Beer

You can always rely on an Irish pub for some a good atmosphere, especially on St Patrick’s Day! Found in Patio Bellavista, this is one of the few Irish bars in Santiago, and it’s definitely worth a visit.

Red Luxury Bar

Bar, South American, Beer

Red Luxury Bar, Santiago

Another bar found in Patio Bellavista, although this one is rather more glam than the Irish Pub. With a cosy yet sophisticated interior, you can sip on some premium liquor, fine wine, or champagne under the glistening chandelier and enjoy a civilised evening.
