    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.

    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.

    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.
