  2. Bulldog Café

    Bills itself as 'the home of rock and roll,' and features live bands and a jumbo Jacuzzi that's made to look a bit like a cenote but is really just a showcase for bikini-clad staff to splash around. Look for the giant bulldog sign outside and you'll know you've found the right place.

The club opens with celebrity impersonators, dancers and circus acts (clowns, acrobats and the like) for an hour or so then it really hots up with live music and dancing - on every surface, all night long.
