In Mexico it's "antro" which used to have a bad ring to it but which now means the same thing as after hours... Have your pick... I guess it depends on your audience...

boliches/clubes after hour


Explanation:
Aquí en Argentina se usa la frase en Ingles, afer hour, a esos locales se los llama boliches after hour, pero depende de tu registro. Pero el termino se usa igual. La diferencia con clubes comunes o nocturnos es que estos siguen durante el día, o se va allá una vez que cierra el otro local

  -> Muchas Gracias Cecilia, un saludo!
agree  María Emilia Meini: Exacto, los "after" suelen ser después del cierre de los boliches comunes, o sea, después de las 5, 6 de la mañana...

  -> Muchas Gracias Maria Emilia. Un saludo Cordial
neutral  JS Translations: Comentario: la palabra "boliche" en Argentina se utiliza para denominar a lugares nocturnos como las discotecas, por ejemplo, aunque en México "boliche" es el bowling, y en Ecuador lo usan para denominar a lo que en Agentina llamamos "cabarets".

agree  moken: Commonly shortened to "afters", but the time-frame doesn´t really match. 2-3am in Spain is just about the time nursery schools close! :O) :O)

neutral  Monika Jakacka Márquez: ¡Qué curioso! En España un "antro" es un local de mala muerte. [DRAE: Local, establecimiento, vivienda, etc., de mal aspecto o reputación.] Siempre se aprende algo nuevo :)

neutral  Ximena Correa: En Chile un "antro" también es un lugar de mala muerte...

Por cierto, un "club" en España es a menudo un sitio donde se paga para los servicios de una mujer...o sea, cuidado!! Sólo "after". (O disco si lo es)
