This neighborhood is a haven for street performers. Grab a table on the sidewalk and enjoy liter-sized bottled beer. Geared more towards the younger crowd.

The patio bellavista is a cute courtyard with various restaurants to choose from. The food is great, but the prices are a little higher. The ambiance is nice but very touristic and it doesn't seem very authentic and typical and indigenous.

Many good places to drink and eat, however it seems generally to be a place for younger people to congregate.

Go for dinner. With daylight, justice is not done to the beauty of the place. A few steps from San Cristobal Hill and in the heart of the University place. Very convenient.

Fun to go with friends or a night on the town. My absolute favorite spot is maestra vida on thursday nights when they have a live band and it's packed and fun! friday for some reason isn't as fun. another place called crazy has good pizza.

This is the BoHo part of town and if you like funky this is the place for you. Demonstrations break out periodically so if you don't like living on the edge stay in Providencia or Los Condes.

Very nice atmosphere, right next to the university but it feels very European rather than South American.

Right next to Santiago's central district, Bellavista is a great place to meet friends for a drink. Beautiful street art mixed with a vibrant atmosphere make it a must-see.
