Cuzco Entertainment

  1. Cross Keys

    Cross Keys is the most established watering hole in town, housed in a rickety old building on the plaza and smothered in the trappings of a typically British pub. There's cable TV, a dartboard and the most challenging pool table in town - its banana-like trajectory is as yet unparalleled.

  2. El Muki

    Just off the plaza, El Muki is a dark, intimate club with plenty of barely lit alcoves and a couples-only rule at the door (though they rarely count when a group goes in).

  3. Fallen Angel

    An ultrafunky restaurant and lounge falling all over itself in the rush to cram in as much kitsch as possible, with glitterballs, fake fur and even bathtub-cum-aquarium tables complete with live goldfish. Devilish cocktails are expensive, but creative. The same folks also own jungle-themed Macondo (22 9415) at Cuesta San Blas 571.

  4. Mama Africa

    Mama Africa is the classic backpackers' hang-out, usually packed with people sprawled across cushions or swaying to rock and reggae rhythms. Unfortunately it also has a bad reputation as a haven for pickpockets, scam artists and other evildoers.

  5. Norton Rat's Tavern

    Run by a motorcycle enthusiast, this down-to-earth bar overlooking the Plaza de Armas has the best damn burgers in town. They've also got TVs, darts and billiards to help you work up a thirst. Happy hour is from to nightly.

  6. Paddy Flaherty's

    This cramped little Irish pub is filled with high stools, games, TVs and a laughably big foam leprechaun. It's usually packed to the gills with homesick European travelers.

  7. Rosie O'Grady's

    Rosie's is another spot for a Guinness that's got more room to breathe than its smaller compatriot Paddy's - in fact, it's usually bereft of any customers at all.
