Punta Cana
Best bars Punta Cana for travelers wanting cocktails outside the resort
Best bars in Punta Cana outside the all-inclusive bubble — Soles Chill-Out Bar (El Cortecito beach, sundown mojitos with feet in the sand, 6–9 USD cocktails), Huracán Café (Los Corales boardwalk, live Latin music nightly from 9 PM), Drink Point (the classic backpacker beach bar — cheap rum buckets, beer pong, 3 USD beers), Onno's Bar (Plaza Bávaro, sports + happy hour, expat crowd), La Posada de Piedra (rustic bar in Cap Cana with craft Dominican rum flights, 25 USD per flight), and Jellyfish Beach Bar at sunset for upscale rum tasting. We send a private SUV from any Bávaro / Cap Cana / Uvero Alto resort, bilingual host stays with the group, and we pre-book tables on weekends when the boardwalk fills up. Bar-hop nights pair naturally with our 75 USD daytime party boat — three slots (9 AM, 12 PM, 3 PM) means you can sleep in and still catch the boat.
