Jungle Bar
Bob your head to the kick-back bass pulsing at this streetside bar with fun staff and cheap drinks. It's a good place to meet locals and other travelers. The jungle murals were painted by local artist Malinalli of Hostel Rincón del Viajero fame.

Señor Frog’s
Yes, it’s a chain. Yes, it’s cheesy and touristy. But dammit, it’s still a lot of fun! The zany antics attract families by day, the far-party atmosphere brings in the college kids at night and the bay views are unbeatable anytime.

Tequila's
This upstairs restaurant-bar features live mariachi music every night except Monday, between 20:00 and 22:30. There's no cover, but you'll be expected to tip well if the mariachis serenade your table.

De Santos
Vallarta’s choicest nightspot commands the most artful DJs and an open-air rooftop bar furnished with oversized beds. On the dance floor the music is frenetic, but there’s also a mellow chill lounge.

Joe’s Oyster Bar
This popular spot perched over the beach is OK for a sunset drink in the early evening, but it goes ballistic after 11pm when it’s packed with college kids dancing on tables, chairs and each other. On a tiny lane that connects Avenida Playa Gaviotas to the beach.
