Entertainment in Western Highlands

  1. A

    Café La Luna

    La Luna is a comfortable, relaxed place to hang out and eat a cake, salad or sandwich. The hot chocolate is the specialty - the coffee is so-so. Choose any of several rooms: decor is in similar vein to Café Baviera but the music is classical instead of jazz.

    Café Baviera

    This European-style café has good coffee, roasted on the premises, and is a decent place for breakfast or a snack (crepes, croissants, soups and salads). The wooden walls are hung with countless photos and clippings on Xela and international themes.

    Café El Cuartito

    Xela's hippest café does a good range of snacks and juices and coffee just about any way you want it. On weekends it often has DJs spinning laid-back tracks, and there's always art on the walls by local contemporary artists.

    Pool & Beer

    An excellent place for some drinks and a few games of pool. At the time of writing, the tables hadn't been trashed and the cues were straight.

    Salón Tecún

    On the west side of Parque Centroamérica, and busy all day and night with a healthy crowd of Guatemalans and foreigners, the Tecún claims to be the country's longest-running bar (since 1935). Don't miss it.

    Bohemio's

    Some nights it's mellow, some nights it goes berserk, but this friendly little bar a few steps away from the Parque Central is always worth a look in.

    Kaktus Disco

    There's not a whole lot going on in the center, nightlife-wise. This little disco is about your best bet after hours.
