Mojito Bar, Cabarete: Wonderful happy hour

in #travel5 years ago

This place is smack-dab in the central tourist area of Cabarete, a small beach city on the northern coast of The Dominican Republic. While there are lots of happy hours on the beach, this place manages to differentiate a bit by having slightly better cocktails than the other around. It's almost as though they know how to make them .

The big thing on this beach is to offer 2 for 1 cocktails and beers from a certain time to a certain time, you know, like happy hours all over the world. The difference here is that it is on a lovely beach, they know how to make the drinks they advertise,and the staff are super friendly.

These guys have some sort of happy hour going on nearly the entire day. I don't like the sound of a Papaya Daiquiri but I guess it must be ok.

The prime time to be here is at sunset, despite the fact that the bar (all the bars) face north and well, you can't even see the sun set, the colors are still pretty awesome and the sea is quite calm here because of a reef waaaaay out there that forces a break long before the waves make proper landfall.

I have had sunset drinks at almost all of the bars on the beachfront in Cabarete (it isn't a huge place) and so far Mojito bar has been my favorite. There were 5 of us, we had fried fish fingers x 2 and a big plate of assorted bruscetta as well as quite a few beers and cocktails.

The total bill for all of us including a rather generous tip at the end of several hours was $40 US. All of us and we were tipsy and full so i consider this a tremendous value. Now how is that for a good night on the beach?

If you find yourself in Cabarete, definitely come to Mojito Bar, I have intentionally not provided an address because I don't think it has one and everyone knows where it is anyway :)

Sort:  

I am remembering our trip to Punta Cana and specifically going to Macao Beach. We ate at D’Bale Restaurant at the far end of the beach. Awesome price, awesome atmosphere And some of the freshest fish I’ve ever eaten. They literally pulled in with the boat and you picked your fish out. The pictures of this Mojito bar remind me of that area.

I really like it here, although i will say it is a little more difficult to get around than in Thailand because I think the infrastructure is actually much worse here. I think the beaches are better here though and the weather is certainly a lot less like being on the sun.

I'm gonna start studying spanish when i return to Thailand in Dec. I have at least one more year there and sometimes when i think about starting over on the whole language thing it makes me scared... haha

Your surviving now! Your eating, drinking, and got a hair cut. What else do you need? Spanish?? Not really. Hehe. Wouldn’t hurt to know a little I suppose. Have you gone to a Cigar rolling place yet?

no cigar spots. Trying to not smoke at all during this trip

These guys have some sort of happy hour going on nearly the entire day.

24 happy hours! 🍺🍸

Het @gooddream. Sounds pretty fantastic and i don't think you need an address in such a small space.Just remember the name.

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed a lot with your friends. A beer, cocktail and fish, fun on beach. I think 40$ is not a big deal.

Friend, @gooddream what spectacular days you're having. The beach, the food, the drink and the sunsets are the perfect combination for enjoyment and pleasure. The mojito is a drink that I like very much and here in my city (Cumaná, Venezuela) I have tasted the richest. We have beaches similar to those of Cabarete and food sites on the seashore that provide delicacies. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a few days like this in front of the sea, the situation we live in has us hands tied, it would be very expensive to go for a walk of these, but I carry them in my memory forever. A hug, @gooddream.
