I don't think so
Plenty of small neighborhood colomados, but no discos or dance clubs, no gringo bars etc. Most tourists would feel very uncomfortable walking around Charamicos at night.
This post is brought to you from Club Nautico in Charamicos, not that you would know.
If you live here and know Club Nautico, you'll get it
