We went from one place to the other, just enjoying the whole atmosphere. We didn't have to pay cover anywhere we went, we just enjoyed seeing everyone having a good time. The only thing I didnt like was that they close down too early, but I guess you have to go by the rules. We live in Miami and have travelled the world, and there is no other place like this, where people are just having fun. I love the Dominican Republic and of course the people, they are the ones that make this country "extra special" We went twice to Ave Venezuela during Memorial Weekend 2010 and loved it.

I'm sure this was an unfortunate and isolated situation. Shots have been fired at other clubs in the capital but Ave. Venezuela gets a bad rap for being a dangerous place because it is simply on the "other" side of the river and frequented by patrons from anything but the upper class neighborhoods. I'm sorry you experienced this but I assure you, from personal experience, that Ave. Venezuela is safe.

The only thing is that I wouldn't exactly call La Venezuela a safe place. I was at the Barrica last year August and shots were fired from the street breaking two glasses inside the bar. Everyone ducked and my friends and I ran to the bathroom in the back. After a while everybody went back to normal as this is a regular occurrence. People fire their gun up at night all the time. Other than that I never experienced any mugging or anything of the kind Thank God but for those who don't know their way around or have never been to DR saying this avenue is safe is an overstatement. Other than that I do coincide that the atmosphere is very down to earth and all about the music and the Presidentes. Hi,

Crowd wise, lots of young beautiful people, lots of flash cars not that it matters cos they get left parked around the corner, lots of fun, this is a strip of heaven. Quite simply if you go Santo domingo, you cannot miss this.
