El Atrio
Once in the thick of things, this longtime favorite moved to a quiet street several blocks east of the bar scene. Alternative films are shown under the stars every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (free); Friday entertainment varies from live music to concert videos to just setting up telescopes to check out the stars. Also screens films at 19:00 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Drive Inn El Molino
When it gets going, this is one of Santa Ana's best nightspots, with drink specials, great music and late-night table dancing. When it's dead, though, it's really dead. You'll need to take a taxi there - ask the driver if he knows if there's much movimiento (action) before heading out. It's located on the old San Salvador highway, behind a Texaco gas station.

Les 3 Diables
A lively bar attracting a diverse crowd of disaffected university students, professionals taking the edge off and Peace Corps volunteers cutting loose. There's no dance floor, but a great mix of old-school pop and alternative rock gets people moving wherever there's space. Look for drink specials from Monday to Thursday and live music on Wednesday.

Los Horcones
A classic dive bar in the heart of Santa Ana, complete with palapa (thatched palm-leaf roof shelter) and gnarled tree trunks for tables. Balconies overlook the main park and have incredible views of the Gothic cathedral next door. Disco beats and Saturday-night beer specials provoke occasional table dancing.

Harlequín
Suchitoto's go-to bar and nightspot features film nights, great music and frequent drink specials. It was about to change locations when we visited, but it's too good to leave out - ask at the tourism office for the latest.

Puerta Vieja
Most people come here to have a few drinks before heading somewhere for dancing, preferably somewhere with air-con. There is a small dance floor here, though, and all sorts of music finds its way to the turntable.

Jala La Jarra
Part of the Señor Frogs' chain, this is actually three places in one: a restaurant called Guadalajara Grill; a bar with a dancefloor called Cantina El Patrón; and Jala la Jarra, the main bar and disco.

Highland Bistro
A raucous smoke-filled bar with two small rooms, and football shirts and movie posters instead of windows. There's live music most Fridays; expect a small cover charge.

Bar Medieval
Across the street from El Arpa Irlandés, this bar has a similar atmosphere.
