| One thing for sure is that there is no shortage of entertainment for the young and old alike. As well as the cinemas showing all the latest films (in English) and with popcorn so cheap, that you can buy a box for each, there are many theatres, shows, street events and of course the big casino. Pubs There are many pubs, some based on English and Irish styles, but not what I would call a pub in England. All the pubs here are child friendly and have wonderful menus. When you go into a pub, you will find just as many people drinking coffee as there are drinking beer and wine. A wonderful place to watch big football matches on extra large screens. Wonderful background music and different themes. Drink prices that are unimaginable!
The pubs are always full and most of the time, it is necessary to reserve a table. Discos/clubs There is no shortage of discos/clubs. Mar del Plata has two distinct areas called Alem and Constitución. Alem has nightclub after nightclub. Each club having it's own distinct theme, such as English music or latin music. There are about 40 clubs in Alem. The door security are very thorough and check all ID's for age. Due to the high rate of fake ID's, many places want to see your passport. Many of the clubs do not open before 1 am and that is considered early. Many of the club goers have breakfast before going home. Most of the clubs in Alem do not charge an entrance fee, but you must buy at least one drink (a coke costs about 70p). As well as the clubs, Alem has many many restauants and cafes. Constitución is the other side of Mar del Plata and also request passports to be shown. Although they have less clubs, most of the clubs charge entrance fees of around 4 pounds (which includes your first drink). Some of these clubs have restaurants with shows and dancing. A three course meal (without drinks) costs about 6 pounds which includes the show and dancing. |
| Don't fancy dancing? How about playing pool, snooker or ping pong in one of many different clubs. These are a very popular pastime and have time limits when under 18's can play (usually up until 1 am). After midnight, you will need to wait for a table, but can enjoy a meal and a drink in the process. Some of the clubs have excellent music, but can be very crowded. The Argentines are not shy and will ask you to play against each other, normally the loser buying the drinks, so be ware. Yet again, prices are very cheap and the hire of a pool table for an hour is about 1 pound and there is no limit as to how many can play. There is no membership required. |
| Fancy a posh evening out without paying a fortune then how about this for a good deal - four-course meal including free-flowing champagne and canapes on arrival, free flowing soft drinks and wine all night, live band playing 70's and 80's music and dancing, with coffee or tea to finish - 10 pounds per person at the Sheraton Hotel - each week the entertainment is changed. Wonderful service, never allowed your glasses to empty, you don't even notice the waiters filling up your glass. Fantastic atmosphere - friendly staff - we even won two bottles of wine in the raffle and one bottle of champagne for my birthday - wonderful evening and wonderful people and everybody dancing - not to be missed! |
