  1. A

    Clave Azul

    For an authentic experience of Mexican drinking with accompanying botanas (tapas-like snacks served free with drinks, in this case between 1pm and 5pm), head to this artifact-filled, atmospheric cantina up a small alley to the left of Bossanova Café.

    El Capitolio

    This popular disco blasts out techno and dance music to big weekend crowds. Capitolio heavily promotes its karaoke and cheap-drink deals but somehow manages a slightly more stylish ambience than the nearby Guanajuato Grill.

    El Bar

    Upstairs above El Café, this popular, friendly place swings to salsa music, attracting a mixed, but mostly young, crowd. Good dancers will feel right at home; others can ask about Thursday evening salsa classes.

    Bora Bora

    This trendy place attracts young students who love accessibly priced mixed drinks (the 'TNT' is a brain fryer) and micheladas (beer, chili salsa and lime juice). It's beside Bar Ocho.

    Boga Club & Resto

    The salsa place in town, where hips, dirty dancing and loud salsa music make the crowds bop till they drop. The new upstairs roof terrace has a more contemporary vibe.

    Bar Ocho

    Bar Ocho locals, expats and visitors seem to love this friendly, unpretentious place. It has seating inside and out, good music and snacks and a pool table upstairs.

    Guanajuato Grill

    This rather selective disco and drink spot admits affluent, energetic students who like loud dance music. It’s packed after midnight on Friday and Saturday.

    La Dama de las Camelias

    Live and recorded Latin sounds and a dose of slinky salsa and merengue moves in an artsy, gay-friendly atmosphere.

    Bar Fly

    A grungy place to go for reggae, ska, rap and electronic grooves and a hippie, trippy vibe.
