Teatro Municipal José de la Cruz Mena
Check the board in front of this attractive 1885 theater to see what's on during your visit. It's been impressively restored, and for around US$2 you may be able to catch anything from Salvadoran rock groups to art films to the national ballet on the very accessible stage. Hey, 14-year-old Rubén Darío did his first poetry here; who knows what sort of up-and-comers you'll catch. The board often lists other cultural events going on in the city.

El Bus Pelón
Follow the thumping disco beat to find 'The Bald Bus,' its classic Bluebird styling enhanced by having the entire roof torched right off, all the better to share its impressive sound system with the people. Adult beverages are also available. You can catch it at the parque central, or as it runs around the city until the wee hours.

Disco Bohemio
Almost always packed, this hot spot, close to Don Señor, is popular with locals and tourists alike. Nearby, Salon Estrella may be an Old West-themed casino, complete with staff in ten-gallon hats, but mosey on past the slot machines to the popular bar in the back.

Caña Brava
Out on the ring road toward Chinandega, this elegant spot claims to have the best steak in town, and the 'filete bravo,' in chili sauce, may convince you. There's live music and dancing on weekends, and outdoor seating if that's a bit much.

Don Señor
One block north of the plaza, this place is more than just a hot nightspot - it's three. There's a disco upstairs, a relaxed bar (with dance floor) downstairs, and the restaurant-pub El Alamo around the corner. It's open till 04:00.

El Matchico
A comfortable, relaxed spot to get your drink on, with a 'What if the Aztecs discovered Europe first?' theme. Jazz music, sometimes live, and French bocas keep things interesting.
