Bar entertainment in Baja California

  1. A

    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.

    Dandy del Sur

    For something more down-to-earth than many La Revo watering holes, hit this Tijuana classic. The sort of nostalgic dive that would make Tom Waits proud, it's been around since 1957, and the charreada (Mexican rodeo) photos, vinyl barstools, mixed clientele and eclectic jukebox make it one of the most interesting places downtown.

    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 (18:00 to 21:00 every Friday) and fire shows (20:00 to 22:00 Thursday and Saturday) and lots of fine, fine people.

    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.

    El Patio

    If tequila poppers, whistles and buckets of beer aren't your style, slip into this classy, dimly lit, low-ceiling bar where, for once, you can actually carry on a conversation with your mate (except on Friday and Saturday nights, when there's live music).

    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!

    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.

    Bar Andaluz

    For a complete change in ambience, visit the cultured bar inside the Riviera del Pacífico, where having a drink is an exercise in nostalgia. It’s quiet, perfect for a nightcap with friends.

    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.

    Stroker's Reef

    It's a darn friendly crowd at this wee bar with a red pool table, free snacks and a congenial, tattooed bartender. As the barman says, 'stop by and you'll definitely meet people.'

    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.

    Los Barriles de Don Malaquias

    Los Barriles stocks over 300 varieties of tequila and keeps at least two dozen bottles open for tasting. Prices are a bit steep, but the selection is great.

    Cuba & Martini

    Across Calzada Benito Juárez, the new Cuba & Martini is an ultra-modern, ultra-chic bar and nightclub where you can party with Mexicali's upper crust.

    Trez

    This ultra-swanky minimalist restaurant-bar is worth popping into just to sit on the plush, black bar stools and gaze at the décor and the people.

    El Squid Roe

    The music's loud, the margaritas flowing (available even in 'yards!') and the neon bright. Crazy. Just crazy.
