This popular little seaside palapa on Blvd Camacho could be romantic with its tiki-torch ambience or just a laid-back place to grab a cocktail while checking out the ocean and the people strolling past on the boulevard. On weekends there’s live music.

Mambo Café
The cover is steep in Veracruz terms but this expansive salsa club with slick fountains and bursting colors is where Latin dancing goes down in this town. Sometimes there are lessons early on weekend nights. Check for ladies' nights specials, too.

Bar El Estribo
This is the only place on the zócalo where one can eat and drink outside without hawkers in your face selling their stock every two minutes. The Pepito sandwich is good, as are the drink and wine selections.

Las Barricas
This Jarocho-recommended live-music venue and club plays a variety of music: reggeton, salsa, pop, rock etc. It’s on the small side, so expect to be packed in with the raucous, jovial crowd, especially on weekends.

Gran Café de Orizaba

Coco Beers
How can one go wrong in a place that serves super-sized beers out of yardas (iced, bong-shaped, glass containers) ? It’s loud and popular here, dude.

La Casona de la Condesa
The weird Jesus art is meant to be edgy but feels whacked out. La Casona attracts an older (ie not teenage) crowd and offers solid live music at night.
