Nightlife in Paramaribo
Paramaribo's nightlife zone – Uitgaanscentrum - literally means 'the going-out centre'; a block of hotels, bars and restaurants where the city's night owls flock. Nightlife is varied: Starzz is a popular Euro-beat club, while there's all-night salsa on the menu at the Havana Lounge. Sidewalk Cafe ‘T VAT attracts a relaxed crowd and is the place to be during festivals and carnival season.
