Loft Lounge & Dance Club

Loft Lounge & Dance Club

The entire weekend was to celebrate with girlfriends, but the main festivities for our bachelorette took place at Loft, a happening night club in Santo Domingo. It’s a huge lounge with a bar in the middle for early visitors and it turns into a night club complete with a smoke and confetti machine after hours. We walked in at 1am on a Saturday night, past the bouncers and the velvet rope outside. The place was already packed and smoky when we arrived. It was also very difficult to get a table where all nine of us could park ourselves for the rest of the early morning. Everyone trendy—and with money—in Santo Domingo must have been in this club, judging by the way they were all dressed.

We stood by the bar and ordered our first round of drinks until a set of two tables were cleared for us. It’s very typical for Santo Domingo clubs to require bottle service in order to get a table, so we ordered a bottle of Grey Goose to secure the space for the rest of our group.

The DJs play a variety of dance music, from the 80s to merengue and salsa to what they call Spanish rock. It was interesting to see how the crowd would disperse from the dance floor when an English song was played and how easily they came back when a familiar Spanish song blew from the speakers. But whatever music you prefer, there was so much energy in this place that it was hard to stay seated. If you need to witness the nightlife of a Dominican Republic city, Loft is the place to be.
