Tegucigalpa Entertainment

  1. Bamboo

    Formerly the Hipa Hipa, this is still Tegucigalpa's most exclusive nightclub - don't even think of wearing sandals and a T-shirt.

Expect drink specials from Wednesday to Friday, like free national beers or one-lempira rum and vodka; Saturdays are the most crowded, and occasionally have performances or special events.

  8. Harley Davidson Café

    There aren't enough bikers in Honduras to make a real biker bar, but you get the general idea here. Outdoor tables, buckets of Port Royal and 2-for-1 bar food make for an everyman atmosphere, which can be a welcome alternative to the too-cool scene elsewhere. Friday nights feature live classic rock shows, complete with loaner Harleys on a trailer outside and gyrating Harley girls.

Low round tables stand in the front rooms and around the edges of the bar area, while a small dance floor pulses with black light and laser machines. Friday is Ladies Night, while Saturday usually sees open bar for rum drinks, 2-for-1 tequila and beer specials.

  10. Over Time

    It's technically a sports bar, hence the odd name and the TVs everywhere showing soccer matches, but its warehouse look and music a la Gwen Stefani and Green Day, make this one of the coolest sports bars you're likely to see.
