Good historic hole in the wall type place serving the most common home style Chilean dishes. We…read morewent with an uncle who is super good with money (cheap). We had the merluza, cazuela de vacuno and the pernil. I was expecting a pernil more Cuban or Puerto Rican Style, but this was a big ass leg o' pork. Delicious if you don't mind soft, braised fat covering the meat. Underneath the layer of fat is lovely meat with a texture similar to carnitas. The cazuela was just soup, typical with a huge potato, squash and corn on the cob. The merluza had a light batter and we ordered ensalada Chilena with it. With wine the huge meal was $21,000 pesos. About $30 bucks and you have to pay cash for tip.the waiter was a bit salty, but was happy with 10%.

Located across the street from the Cementerio General, the largest cemetery in Santiago, Quita…read morePenas is named conveniently for those who would wander into this pub after burying their loved ones. Quita penas, or "take away sorrow", is exactly what the patrons of this bar do - drown their sorrows with a large jug of pipeño or in one of their rich dishes. The food served here is a true example of Chilean comfort food at its finest, with bread, potatoes and meat as the base of almost all of these dishes. This pub is not the most glamorous, but in a way, that is what makes it so unique and perfect for its location and purpose. It is a simple and cozy pub with photos lining its walls of popular figures such as Chilean sports stars, politicians such as Allende, artists such as Victor Jara and Gato Alquinta (from Los Jaivas) as well as Chilean poets and filmmakers. Quita Penas is one of the historical hubs of Santiago, filled with stories and popular culture, it is here to stay. As it was told to me, everyone has a memory of spending an afternoon here with their family, passing through many emotions from sorrow to laughter. One of the many things that has put Quita Penas on the map, is for Chile's main soccer clubs Colo-Colo. Colo-Colo was founded here in 1925 by two football players who were drowning their sorrows, after being let go from their soccer team. Now, whenever an "hincha" of Colo-Colo passes away, they always make their way here (their last stop of their caravan). Tip: You can get here by taking the green line metro to "Cementerios" Try the "Paró la Chala". It is the house drink, made of pisco, gin and granadine (similar to a Terremoto but way stronger!) They are open every day of the year except for September 11th.

For a very reasonable price, you also get a pisco sour, water/soda/wine, an appetizer (fried cauliflower with beets), and coffee. The pisco sour was very refreshing and tart. Food was a good sized portion as well and tasted light and not too heavy. The lunch special isn't listed in the menu so don't forget to ask about it! Ambiance is really cute inside and they have nice outdoor seating as well.

Considering it was our first evening in the city and we had yet to figure out where everything was,…read morea quick search on Google led us to nearby Tip y Tap. The best way I can describe this place is as better than expected. To begin with, they had free parking, which in Santiago is a mission in itself. To go further, upon entering, we were greeted warmly and led to a table. The waiter we had, an older gentleman whose name I forget, was very sweet. He brought us our two beers and genuinely offered suggestions not just on the food but on visiting the country as a whole. Wound up ordering lomo a lo pobre (if memory serves me correctly) which is a cut of beef that is flavorful and has onions, eggs, and French fries with it. To say I didn't end up finishing this dish is a given. My companion meanwhile had steak with mushrooms and French fries. He inhaled his dish. The entire ambiance reminded me of a Cuban restaurant in Miami. Why do I say this? Because it had family feels and a lot of food. Perhaps too much. This was one of our better meals during our stay in Chile and really the only reason I don't rate higher is because I had to dispute a charge from them. I got charged twice!

Anything can happen in Club Subterráneo. This is great underground discotheque to party and dance all night long! They have awesome DJs, a large dance floor and sometimes even live music and mini concerts! The music is varied depending on who is playing. It can be pop, hip-hop, tecno, house -- they even play some salsa. It is also a great club to get a group of friends together to celebrate birthdays and special events. You can email them at : rrpp@subterraneo.cl and they will give you info about renting or reserving the section with tables in the back. If you do end up celebrating here, let them know you will be coming with a large group and you can send them your guest list and your friends will be able to enter free until 12am You should keep an eye out on their Facebook page (where they promote their events) there they show which events have a guest list and you can send in your name via email to get on the list. Entrance is then *free* until a certain time, usually around 1130pm and 12am. The entrance usually costs 4 mil after 12am. Also, I am not sure if they still do this, but if you eat dinner at any of the restaurants in Paseo Oreggo Lucco, you will be allowed in free before 11:30pm I recommend coming early to take advantage of their great happy hour specials and if you want something off the happy hour list, the bar is pretty well equipped to make just about any drink you want. Oh, they also have coat check but you pay for each item (I would bring a large purse where a jacket and scarf can fit...).
