Re:Any gay clubs in Santo Domingo - 2006/09/21 10:18
Hi Jesse
There is a great website you can check out it is:-
www.gayfriendlytravel.com/santo_domingo.html
also just looking around for you I found this article and here is the quote:-
I, on the other hand, loved DR’s El Presidente cerveza and badly twisted my shoulder at Harry’s Bar in Santo Domingo while trying to order another round. It hurt so bad I just had to get a massage. But the bar every gay and lesbian tourist must visit in Santo Domingo is Parios Café in the Zona Colonial where the city’s four gay bars—the other three are Punto (which replaced the recently closed Discoteca Arena), Jay-Dee’s and the always-packed reggaeton-flavoured The Sports Bar (which boasts four pool tables)—are all located within walking distance of one another.
“We all work together to better protect the gay community,” Parios owner Orlando (who is married and straight) told me as he showed me his bar’s newly opened backroom. Orlando also introduced me to two young gay men from the fledgling gay-rights group Amigos Siempre Amigos, which organized Santo Domingo’s first-ever Gay Pride parade this past summer. Over 600 participants came out for that historic nighttime parade and, as Orlando explained to me, “A lot of locals asked ‘What’s going on?’” And when they found out what kind of parade it was, everybody went, ‘Wooooooooo!’”
That growing tolerance, and the beauty and resilience of Dominicans, is what happily keeps me going back. V
Hope you enjoy your stay in our beautiful country and that this puts a smile on your face.
Best wishes
