Hillbilly said:The bar at the Gran Almirante is nice.
There are several places where people get together, but there are no real "Bars" like PJ's in NYC, or Cheers in Boston...
Well dressed is subjective...sort of depends on what you are looking for ..

boogieman said:so yeah.. im lookin for a more classy joint where selection is strict.
In NYC, some of the most selective clubs in Manhattan allows Dress Jeans, shoes, collared button-down shirt, no chains and no hats. This is considered the dress code for the young hipsters, scenesters, artists, hedge-fund kids & A or B listers. All of the Major Law & Wall Street firms have been dressed down since the boom of the ninety's, so of course clubs have reflected this including, Copa, 40/40, Bungalow 8, Cabana, APT, & Frederick's of course.boogieman said:yet, in many places around the world, 'acclaimed' classy bars allow just about anybody to come in just so that they can make money.
so yeah.. im lookin for a more classy joint where selection is strict.

After 10 years here, you get to know what's in and what's not etc.
It's more about who you are or with and the color of your skin if you get in or not. Yes, racism is alive and kicking in the DR, along with jeans and a shirt to get into the best clubs/bars.
Go take a look at http://bonche.com to get and idea of the dress code for "high-end" places.
But if you look like white trash ex: body loaded with tattooes and dressed in dirty jeans, sneakers and faded T shirt, then you are also booted out.boogieman said:well.....
i guess anything is possible although in each of the many countries ive visited in my life, i always found the classy joints.
ill take your word for it mate...
by the way... when you say 'color of your skin'.... you mean to tell me a lighter skin will get you in?????
do the 'higher' class joints allow easy entry to eurpeans/foreigners of light skin?
kinda distubring and unjust... but cant complain as im white:squareeye
welcome to DR, we may all fit your description of a terrorista. Keep watching CNN it makes you sound very intelligent.Tamborista said:What if you look like a well dressed Terrorista?
So true.Robert said:Yes, lighter.
Foreigners sometimes get turned away at the door, because they are usually with a girl that is outside a particular social set. As I said, it can also be who you are with.
