La Prisciliana
La Prisciliana is laid-back and stylish, with arched windows, burgundy walls, worn tile floors and an antique wood bar in an old colonial building. It can get wild late and there’s a drag show from time to time, but usually things stay chill. Downstairs Club Ye Ye is smaller but louder and wilder, with metallic decor and a club soundtrack.

Casa Bariachi
This bright barn-like restaurant-bar has romantic lighting and leather chairs, along with piñatas and colorful papel picado (cutout paper) hanging from the ceiling. This place may fail the hipster test, but the margaritas are bathtub big and mariachis jam from 4pm to 11pm daily. It’s about a 10-minute taxi ride west of the city center.

La Fuente
La Fuente, set in the old Edison boiler room, is an institution – and a rather friendly one. It’s been open since 1921 and is mostly peopled by regulars – older men who start drinking too early. But they treat newcomers like family and women like queens. A bass, piano, violin trio sets up and jams from sunset until last call.

El Refugio
This elegant hotel bar has two (quite different) points of highlight: the lovely wood-burning fireplace that attracts couples and sparks good conversation, and the flat-screen TV above the bar that displays global and American football games to an international expat crowd.

Balcones del Ángel
A hip and beautiful crowd gathers in this open courtyard lounge on the top floor of a 17th-century building. The design is seamless, the music bounces between global pop and electronica and the glowing dome of the cathedral is visible through the open roof. Stunning!

Los Caudillos
Diagonally across from La Prisciliana, Los Caudillos is a popular two-story disco, with three dance floors and endless lounges and bars. This is a hook-up joint, pure and simple. Keep the wild times going at the Sunday morning after-party.

Scratch
This new hipster bar in the Centro Historico has elevated the michelada (beer and Bloody Mary's lovechild) to fine art and celebrates the days when grunge rock ruled. It also has 12 labels of good tequila.

Bar Américas
Mexican and international DJs spin slamming electronic music for the Jaegermeister swilling masses at this crowded old bunker. There's no sign, so it can be tough to find. You'll hear it before you see it.

Candela
Drink with Zapopan’s young, sexy, moneyed bohemia in this converted home with a courtyard lounge, specialty cocktails and a jazz soundtrack. It serves wood-fired pizzas. Friday is the big night.

El Callejón de los Rumberos
This is the loudest salsa bar in Guadalajara, where locals dress to the nines and shake their asses on two floors with two bandstands and three bars. Wednesday is the big night.

Circus
Circus fills up late in the night with hot young hardbodies lounging in heart-shaped chairs and howling at the variety shows. It’s also popular with lesbians.

Bananas
Beers are cheap, the crowd is young and the music gravitates from hip-hop to global rock and back again. On slow midweek nights this mod-dive always attracts a crowd.
