  1. A

    El Tambo Bar

    If you’re hankerin’ to shake your groove-thang, this is the most popular disco in town. Fashionable with both extranjeros (foreigners) and Peruvians, the music swings from techno-cumbia to Top 20, to salsa to reggae to most things in between – all in a space of 20 minutes. Occasional live bands also play. Although there’s no cover charge, you may want to consult your accountant before buying a round of drinks: the prices are astronomical.

    Huaraz Satyricon

    This place may just be the world’s most perfect little cinema. A small and intimate space that has snug couches, fresh popcorn, snacks and espresso, it shows top-quality international and repertoire flicks (all with English subtitles) on a private projection screen. Look out for flyers around town advertising the changing schedule. Note that the theater may be shut for periods during low season.

    Los 13 Buhos

    Located upstairs from Makondos, the 13 Owls is a chilled-out bar that is the most popular place in town to kick back and chat in the early evening while listening to excellent, funky sounds. Warm lighting flickers over graffiti-covered walls and climbing paraphernalia clings to the rafters, while couches help you ease into the evening’s frivolities over a cold Crystal.

    X-Treme Bar

    This classic watering hole hasn’t changed in years. Bizarre art, drunken graffiti, strong cocktails and good rock and blues keep things rambunctious well into the night as it fills to the brim with a steady stream of bodies.

    Andean Garden Club

    Owned by the same people as the X-treme Bar, this laid-back option has an outdoor garden setting and sells beer and snacks, plus it has a climbing wall for the perennially active. Just don’t drink and climb.

    Vagamundo Travel Bar

    Opens late morning and has erratic hours. Come in for a beer, snack and a game of foosball. Enjoy rock and blues while perusing the many maps on the walls, or sit outside on the patio.
