Akbal Lounge
Enter this opium den–style mélange of red velvet, chandeliers and giant antique mirrors through La Casa de Maíz. Sip a cocktail and lose yourself in the mood music – ambient and lounge sounds during the week, revving up to sexy electro and deep house at weekends – or stargaze on the groovy deck. Sunday night is gay night, but every night is gay friendly.

Casa De La Cultura De Nuevo León
The lovely 1891 Gulf Line railroad station now houses twin museums and a stage that regularly hosts dance, theater and arthouse films. The biggest display, appropriately enough, is a so-so train museum while the small art museum has temporary displays that are usually good enough to warrant a stop on your way to or from the nearby Museo Del Vidrio.

Bar 1900
An elegant and historic bar fronting Zona Rosa’s Radisson Plaza Gran Hotel Ancira that, except for the big-screen TV, maintains much of its old-time ambience. Guitarists sing classic norteño tunes most nights, and there’s a particularly good selection of whiskey and tequila.

Café La Galería
A hip, lively and friendly bar, La Galería showcases local house and dance-DJ talent. It's close to the heart of the weekend action in Monterrey, but attracts a slightly more mature crowd than many of the other venues.

At Loft
The Dali-esque deer head and pulsing lights immediately catch your eye at this uber-chic lounge bar. The weekend begins with a variety of groovy tunes and ends on Saturday with disco downstairs and hip-hop upstairs.

Café Iguana
The epicenter of alternative Monterrey, where the pierced, multi-tattooed, punk-loving tribe gathers en masse, both inside and on the street out front. Cover charge only for live bands.
