Cabo San Lucas Entertainment

  1. Again & Again

    For a taste of the local pop-music scene, join the youthful crowd here, where gringos in shorts are rarely seen and live bands rock the house every Thursday and Saturday night. On Friday it's a disco, and the dance floor is packed.

  2. Barómetro

    A break from the mold, Barómetro is an ultra-hip open-air lounge down on the marina where martinis - not margaritas - draw the crowds. Great pizzas and appetizers too. Settle into white leather couches and enjoy movies projected onto the wall above the bar.

  3. Billygan's Island

    A great place for people-watching and a sunset margarita, Billygan's is known for its big servings of good food, its bikini contests and its (perhaps not unrelated) mammoth happy hour, which stretches for five hours - more like a happy night, really.

  4. Cabo Wabo Cantina

    With countless photos of himself adorning every wall, rock 'n' roller Sammy Hagar has erected a shrine to himself as much as a venue for local and international rock bands. Despite the narcissism, it's a pretty cool space, with two stages and live music every night of the week.

  5. El Squid Roe

    Whether you can deal with the frat-like party crowd or not, legendary El Squid Roe is a mandatory stop for any serious night out. The music's loud, the margaritas flowing (available even in 'yards!') and the neon bright. You might even brave the elevated 'temporary pimp' stand, where solo revelers show their stuff as the night progresses.

  6. Hemingway's

    Saunter into this sophisticated cigar and tequila lounge for good smokes and great swill. The tequila bar features over 150 premium tequilas, and you can purchase a tasting of five types (which keeps you from getting drunk and going broke too quickly). There's a walk-in humidifier for top-end Cuban puros (cigars), and the bar serves knockout mojitos and daiquiris.

  7. Jungle Bar

    This small zebra-striped bar is a good place to escape the afternoon sunshine while still being outside (sort of) or drown your sorrows in reggae and booze. At night, it's right in the action.

  8. Las Varitas

    A great place to escape the tourist scene, loud and local Las Varitas hosts live Mexican bands, from rock en español (Spanish language rock) to banda (raucous brass-band music with vocals). Women get in free to .

  9. Love Shack

    Small and festive, the Love Shack is a great place to start off the evening over burgers, cold beer and a loud jukebox. It's very pub-like, and the vibe is mellow. Pool table, too.

  10. Nikki Beach

    On the sand in front of Hotel Meliá San Lucas, Nikki Beach guarantees a lounging good time all day, all night, with goodies like sushi happy hours ( to every Friday) and fire shows ( to Thursday and Saturday) and lots of fine, fine people.

  12. Nowhere Bar

    A dedicated watering hole with a small dancefloor, this place is a popular gringo hangout and has a very lively, animated vibe. There are DJs and - possibly the reason behind its festive atmosphere - an epic, four-hour happy hour!

  13. Pancho's

    This brightly pigmented outdoor bar-restaurant claims to have Mexico's largest selection of quality tequilas (500 and counting), some of it even 'smooth like mother used to make'. Test your mettle at tequila tastings. ¡Salud!

  14. Passion Club & Lounge

    Hosting everything from 'Pimp & Ho' balls to international DJs, this is Cabo's hottest night club. Swap your flip flops for something a little dressier.

  15. Sancho Panza

    As much a visual as a culinary treat, Sancho Panza is one of San Lucas' most high-profile restaurants. The chef cleverly fuses Mediterranean and Latin tastes to create exquisite dishes such as sea bass with cherry tomatoes and wild mushrooms, lamb shank Ossobuco, or portabella mushroom filet in a red-wine reduction. The wine bar is superb, and Cuban art adorns the walls. There's also live jazz most nights. Reservations recommended after .

  16. Sandbar

    A great place to escape the madness is this low-key bar on Playa Médano, next to the Hotel Meliá San Lucas. Here you can sip your drink snuggled into a comfy beach chair while toasting your tootsies beside a crackling bonfire right in the sand. There's live music on weekend nights to boot.

  17. The Giggling Marlin

    Famous for its debauchery, this is where folks relive their frat-party days (or create the ones they never had), sucking Jell-O shots off strangers' bellies and shaking their booties in sexy dance contests.

  18. Zoo

    Complete with giant plastic elephants and rhinos bursting from the walls, Zoo is one of Cabo's biggest night clubs, spinning everything from 1980s pop tunes to house music.
