Find the Best Santa Fe Nightlife
With a smaller, younger population than many cities of similar size, Santa Fe isn’t exactly a city known for its pulsing nightlife. But there are great places to enjoy music, dancing, and drinks.
If you want to find the best Santa Fe nightlife, all you need to do is find the music. Like the surrounding city, the music scene in Santa Fe is diverse. Step into various bars and venues around the city, and you’re just as likely to hear blues or country as Latin or salsa music. The music scene in Santa Fe – and, accordingly, the Santa Fe nightlife – is helped by the fact that some well-known music recording studios are in town.
If you’re looking for a venue that combines the arts with some late-night fun, then arguably one of the best Santa Fe nightlife venues is Meow Wolf. It’s undoubtedly one of the most unique! Meow Wolf is an immersive and experimental art space called The House of Eternal Return, which features 70 different rooms and exhibits.
Beyond being a fantastic destination for the arts during the day, Meow Wolf is also a great place to grab a drink, go dancing, and enjoy some of the Santa Fe nightlife. That’s because, after regular daytime hours, Meow Wolf turns into a concert venue, with visiting artists performing on a stage in the middle of the exhibit space.
