Bar entertainment in San Salvador

  1. A

    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.

  2. B

    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.

  3. C

    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.

  4. D

    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.
