Finn McCool’s
Proudly flying the green, white and orange, this Irish-owned bar is the current favorite among expats (and a growing number of locals) for its friendly, welcoming vibe, quiz nights (currently Tuesday) and pool, darts and table football. The classic wood-lined bar is also a good place to dig into fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, burgers and other pub grub.

Blues
Quito’s only late-night club, Blues is the place party-goers head at 3am. DJs spin electronica and rock (with live rock bands playing on Thursday nights) to a style-conscious quiteño crowd. Well-respected international DJs spin here, and depending on the night, Blues can be great fun (sometimes the DJs and crowd disappoint).

El Pobre Diablo
Locals and expats rate El Pobre Diablo as one of Quito’s best places to hear live music. It’s a friendly, laid-back place with a well-curated selection of talent (jazz, blues, world music, experimental sounds) performing most nights. It’s also a great place to dine, with delectable fusion fare, a solid cocktail menu and a great vibe.

Bungalow 6
The favorite Mariscal dance spot among foreigners, Bungalow 6 plays a good mix of beats – salsa, reggae and British and North American hits. The small but lively dance floor, good drink specials and popular events nights (including as Ladies night on Wednesday) always attract a festive crowd. Arrive early to avoid being turned away.

The space is open and somewhat industrial, with video art playing on a large screen above the dance floor.
