The Reef, located in Zona Viva in Las Galerias Santo Domingo in Managua, is a great place to relax after a long day or get down to great music in the evening. Owner Yann Lacayo has been adamant about featuring a wide range of established and up-and-coming local bands and DJ’s weekly – covering genres from rock to electronic and everything in between.
Low lighting and soft colors lend themselves nicely to The Reef’s ‘Surf Bar & Lounge’ atmosphere and enhance the laid back experience. The two outdoor seating areas are perfect for enjoying a warm Managua night. The bar features a full line-up, with any mixed drink you can think of, plus a few you never could. The food is no joke either, hot chicken wings, delicious ribs and plates full of mini jalapeno steaks keep even the most picky carnivore satiated. For the veg-heads, there’s fresh tasting fries and of course, beer.
Weekends, Reef is where the party starts. Concerts and drink promotions are the norm. The newly remodeled interior features an improved stage area and the dance floor has been expanded. When the place is full and the music is bumping the vibe can be infectious and you’ll likely find yourself grooving right along.
