What makes Contramano stand out

Bombero Núñez in Bellavista is Santiago’s gay street, with bars and clubs packed closely together. Contramano is a restaurant and bar in one and is considered a typical meeting place for the previa before the street’s clubs open.

At weekends there are drag, cabaret and burlesque shows, and during the week the after-work happy hour draws people in. There’s a dedicated area for singles, which makes it easy for solo travellers in particular to meet people. Card payment is possible.

Atmosphere and crowd

Guests praise the shows, the cosy atmosphere and the drinks, and often the service too.
