Managua - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some typical ways to socialize, either with local people or with other expatriates? Are there groups or clubs that you can recommend?
Restaurants. Expat community keeps largely to itself as Nicaraguans could encounter difficulties from their government if associated with the evil west. - Feb 2024
Within the embassy community: sports, Marine happy hour, bunco, weekly game nights, monthly dinner club, coffee get-togethers, book club in english and spanish, play dates, etc. - Sep 2023
Currently it is mostly small house parties. - Dec 2021
Don't wait for an invitation, invite others out. Nicaraguans are very nice and sociable, people overall at the Embassy are great and also expats working for NGOs. You can also meet expats through several Facebook groups. - Apr 2018
People tend to entertain outdoors, at home. There are some good restaurants and bars. - Mar 2012
