Entertainment in Northern Honduras

  1. Monesterio

    This is the preferred club for La Ceiba's moneyed, mostly 20-something crowd. The turreted exterior says King Arthur more than John the Baptist, but the inside is pure LA, with a raised dance floor, mezzanine VIP area and sleek tables and high stools in a cavernous bar area. Friday is usually ladies' night (free entrance, free rum and free domestic beer). Regguetón rules, of course, but the DJ usually plays some hip-hop, reggae and even merengue now and then. Dress sharp.

    Max Bar & Grill

    A number of restaurants around town stay open late on weekends for bar service. A good place to start out the night, Max Bar & Grill has cheap beers and rum and tequila drinks, plus late-night food service if you get the munchies - pizza, sandwiches, even Sloppy Joes. It's a short walk from the other clubs.

  3. La Casona

    Two blocks off the main drag, this huge wood-paneled building may look more like a ski lodge than a nightclub, but it’s a favorite destination for La Ceiba’s late-20s and early-30s set.

  4. Restaurante la Palapa

    In front of the Quinta Real hotel, this breezy bar-restaurant has a large dancing area on one side, wooden tables encircling a bar on the other, and the namesake palapa roof high above.

  5. Discos

    Tela has several discos, most clustered on 11a Calle NE. Some can get a little rough though, so ask around about the current situation before you venture into one.

  6. Le Pacha

    It was just under construction when we passed through, but this massive beachfront disco, under a tent–like canvas, promises to be one of the best in town.
