A
Río Bar
Just west of the fountain, this popular bar with an upstairs lounge has live bands on some nights and a pyrotechnic house drink called the cucaracha (cockroach). Early in the evening it’s a good spot to watch the rush-hour traffic crawl by in the company of an after-work crowd.

B
Sand Rock Bar
A raucous beer-swilling spot that gets rolling at 5pm and keeps going until the last customer leaves. Expect the soundtrack to be rock, rock and more rock – with some heavy metal thrown in to spice things up.

Calle La Amargura
This is what Calle 3 is known as, to the north of Av Central. However, it should be called Calle de la Cruda (Street of Hangovers) because it has the highest concentration of bars of any single street in town, and many of these are packed with customers (mainly university students) even during daylight hours. Places come and go, but Terra U (50m north of Av Central), Caccio’s (150m north of Av Central) and Tavarúa (across the street) are longtime party spots. The area gets rowdy in the wee hours: watch out for drunks and pickpockets.
