    Espresso Café Bar

    Just behind the cathedral, this wins the ‘best coffee in town’ award. It’s an attractive, traditional-looking place with pleasant staff. It also serves good juices. A word of advice – don’t order a ‘large’ espresso unless caffeine is more of a compulsion than a pleasure.

    Brazilian Coffee Bar

    This Brazilian chain spot does a weird mixture of coffee, sushi and alcohol. The sushi reminds you why the Brazilian’s aren’t famed for it, but the coffee and booze are passable. It claims to be open 24 hours.

    Marka

    This tucked-away bar set back off Calle Ecuador next to La Republika is a fine, relaxed spot to enjoy low-key music, friendly service, and good mixed drinks. There's live music - jazz and blues - every now and then.

    La Republika

    This comfortable café-bar is part of the Volunteer Bolivia set-up. It's a friendly spot, firmly on the gringo circuit, and offers a book exchange, Mexican dishes, and a leafy courtyard with regular live music.

  5. El Prado

    There's plenty of drinking action along El Prado, where Top Chopp is a typical Bolivian beerhall. Calle España is also fertile territory, with an ever-changing parade of appealing, bohemian café-bars.

    Ecla

    A very welcoming bar in the Recoleta district with a good vibe and live music on Friday nights. They also do decent food. They sometimes put on club nights at the Club Social, just off Plaza Colón.

    Prikafé

    This cozy corner spot is an intimate, candlelit place popular with romancing couples. It’s better for drinks – coffee, wine, cocktails – than the tasty but calorie-laden food.

    Cerebritos

    A grungy, likable bar with cable drums for tables and loud rock and hip-hop music. The house special is a mixed platter of colorful shooters; local students down them as cacho forfeits.

    Lujo’s Discoteca y Karaoke

    A popular dancing spot is Lujo’s Discoteca y Karaoke, which, when the clientele don’t take the music into their own hands, plays salsa and pop.
