I remember I recall they will be planning to open a new bowling alley and a bar/resturant on the top floor, did it happened?

I also wonder is there a place in Santo Domingo similiar to Dave & Busters?

What DR needs is more night life bars, event centers like D&B, a downtown convention center connect with 2 hotels maybe next to each other.

Thanks

How is Sambil doing? BTW.
That place is just not welcoming enough..too spacious
not fun and engaging, way too many vacant store fronts.

Well, I do not think it is so many vacant store fronts, I think that it simply does not suit the market of the surrounding area. And if a family need to drive there then there are much better malls.
I went to buy some clothes there a few months ago and couldn?t afford it.
As far as the top floor goes, they have overdone the floorspace as far as tables goes, the ratio to eating places, customers and tables is savana like even on a busy evening. A few expensive kids soft play areas which are awkward and you are allowed in with the child but it means more parents thn kids tripping all over ech other and smashing into other parents kids etc. not well though out at all.
Did I see on the news the elevator gave way the other day, sure I did, that won?t make decent publicity.
No, Sambil is pretty from the outside, even on entering, but once you?ve set a few steps inside you realise that it is just another terrible attempt at a mall in SD.

For half decent nightlife try Acropolis. It even has an Adidas store that is only three times more expensive than the UK. But I do like TGI?s and it is the only place I can really get a good hard shiver on.

It seems Sambil is a waste, they shouldnt had built it, but instead re model Acropolis or Blue Mall.. But hey, its nice to have IHOP there though. I like the most: Agora

I tried getting a spot in the Sambil food court...no more spaces
for ice cream/helado so I may have to consider waiting it out
or maybe buying out one of the gelato places there or Agora
