La Viña de Bacco
At San Cristóbal’s first wine bar, chatty patrons spill out onto the street, a pedestrian block of the main drag. It’s a convivial place, pouring a large selection of Mexican options (among others), starting at a reasonable M$18 per glass.

Iskra
Pour back a pils, stout or red ale created at this artisanal microbrewery, and watch local bands strut their stuff, or play a foosball match in the back room. Lit by colorful bar lamps and flickering with votive candles, Iskra showcases everything from son to swing, rock en español to electronica.

Multiforo Las Velas
Embossed with vivid stencils and run by a collective of artists and musicians, this multilevel arts space ramps it up with an eclectic musical roster including reggae, rock, funk, jungle and dub step. Live music and dancing start around 11pm, though circus and theater performances occasionally take a turn.

Perfídia
An artsy and relaxed restaurant, gallery and bar showing work by local artists, Perfídia stages live Latin jazz, rock, salsa and blues from Wednesday through Saturday. It has an excellent international menu and a cheeky list of cocktails, like the Bésame y olvídame (kiss me and forget me).

Kakao Natura
For something different, melt into a hot chocolate at the chocolatería Kakao Natura. The dozen or so varieties of artisanal chocolates (M$25 to M$38 per dozen) make fine gifts – if you can resist eating them yourself.

Barfly
Stained glass lamps light the bar and a graffiti-style mural splashes across the wall in this dark and funky club. It's a popular space for local musicians, with electronica on Saturdays and reggae, funk and salsa bands otherwise.

El Circo
A slightly hipper venue across the street from Bar Revolución. A reggae-rock band normally plays in the front bar, while the larger electro-pop dance room in the back opens Thursday to Saturday. Both are usually packed.

Los Amigos
A popular but reasonably unraucous cantina, the two-for-one beers and tasty botanas (free snacks) keep it hopping and fun, as do the wander-in mariachi bands.
