Entertainment in San Blas

  1. A

    San Blas Social Club

    Run by the affable Agustín, this cozy, eclectically decorated bar is the hub of San Blas’ expatriate nightlife. Jazz records line the wall – you are welcome to pick one out and the bartender (a former matador and actor named Bernardo) will slap it on. Here you can down a mean margarita or one of the bar specialties – ask for a ‘Martin Lewis’ and see what you get. It offers live music most Saturdays (and some Fridays), steak night on Tuesday, movies on Wednesday, guest-chef night on Thursday, good strong coffee every morning and free wi-fi at all hours.

    Torino

    Expats patronize this bar, run by an US-French couple, for everything from breakfast to late-night drinks. If you’ve had too many, don’t venture out back without a flashlight – the 75-year-old crocodile (Fluffy) is no hallucination.

    Australia Bar

    The long bar of this upstairs pool room, celebrating Down Under chic, is dotted with cool youths and grungy foreigners throwing drinks back.

    Mike's Place

    This lively bar primes the dance floor with a good mix of blues and rock. There's live music from Friday to Sunday.

    El Cocodrilo

    This old favorite still attracts gringos in the evening, using well-priced cocktails as bait.
