Brenchley Arms
A lookalike British bar serving a limited but honest selection of pub grub - liver and onions features, though the favorite is the hearty chili. There is a dart board as concession to its British heritage, but only one draft - Peruvian - beer. Service is attentive and the atmosphere is laid-back.

Gran Hotel Bolívar
If you really fancy a trip back to yesteryear don your glad rags and step into the cavernous interior of Lima's most famous hotel. Oozing dusty, faded charm and elegance, the streetside bar at this grand old hotel serves up an infamously good pisco sour; if you dare, order the pisco catedral , a double-sized pisco sour! You may occasionally get a solo piano player tinkling out a few nostalgic classics.

Juanito's
One of the oldest haunts in Barranco, this was a leftist peña of the 1960s; it retains its traditional décor and is still very popular. You can't miss it, though the sign is nowhere to be seen; just look for the room filled with bottles of wine.

La Noche
The party crowd is often to be found at this well-known three-level bar nestling snugly at the end of a busy parade. La Noche prides itself on playing a wide mix of music, with everything from modern Latin pop to the occasional highland tune.

You can hardly miss the enormous flags on the awnings of this lively Brazilian-themed bar-cum-café wedged into the southwest side of Parque Kennedy.
-
O'Murphys
This Irish pub has - sadly - no Irish beer or much ale choice at all. It's nonetheless popular and less sardine-can-like than many of the hole-in-the-wall bars that abound in central Miraflores.

Old Pub
At the far end of the busy restaurant-and-bar alley just west of Parque Kennedy you'll find what purports to be a British pub. Owned by English-speaking expats, this central pub has darts, cable TV and an international dinner menu specializing in beef. Again, there is no draft British beer in sight.
-
Palos de Moguer
This lively alehouse is a little away from the main drag - about 100m north of Óvalo Gutierrez - but is worth a look-in. The pub features a dozen Peruvian boutique beers brewed by Colon, including a very passable brown ale, and can be ordered in enormous 1.5L glasses. If beer is not your drop, there are 17 variations on the pisco sour to sip from.

Punta G

-
Sargento Pimienta
The name of this huge barnlike place is 'Sergeant Pepper' in Spanish, and true to form it plays a mix of international retro from the 1970s to the 1990s, plus occasional live rock. Alcohol is cheap, and somehow the enormous dance floor becomes miraculously packed by midnight.

Wahio's
A lively little bar with its fair share of dreadlocks and a classic soundtrack of reggae, ska and dub.
