Ego
On the hillside 3km south of town, Morelia’s hottest club thumps, bumps and grinds to house and electronica tunes. Dress code is casual. The crowd is young and pretty and they don’t stop dancing till they have to.

BarRio
Located in the basement of an old, abandoned waterworks, this club is the perfect blend of sleek and comfortable and offers the best night out in Uruapan. There’s a large dance floor packed with an exuberant, sexy crowd of 20-somethings, old stone walls that drip with river water, huge exposed pumps, wheels, belts and pipes overhead and a global progressive soundtrack (although musical style and DJs rotate nightly). Service is brilliant. It’ll keep you drinking.

La Peña Colibrí
Beyond a heavy wooden door, this intimate courtyard café glows with candlelight, illuminating the grinning Day of the Dead skeletons on the walls. Live music starts at 10pm – guitarists pluck weepy ballads, folk singers wail mournfully. Come on Friday or Saturday to see a well-known local troupe perform the danza de los viejitos, a classic Michoacán folk dance.

Velvet
This new spot on the roof of the Cinépolis building is hopelessly hip and extremely white – as in white awnings, white velvet sofas and white light fixtures. Oh, and the views are outstanding. During the film festival producers, directors and stars party here. Saturday night is the big night.

Casa de la Salsa
Locals converge to shake their collective ass to a rocking four-piece band on a raised stage in this dark, cavernous club. Don’t worry, this is not one of those snooty, show-off salsa clubs, so feel free to get loose. Tequila and beer are priced to move if you need liquid courage.

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!

Akqua
Pátzcuaro's newest bar-lounge attempts to blend modern electronica vibrations into the ancient soul of this quiet town. Brand new at the time of research, it wasn't crowded. But the old stone courtyard is a great location and it should find its groove.

Campanario Bar
Pátzcuaro seldom parties, but you can toast the saintly Quiroga at the airy sidewalk tables or in the cramped black-lit environs of Campanario Bar, which offers live bands on occasion. If the Pátzcuaro night has a pulse, this is its heart.
