A
La Perla Del Sur
This chipper little bar attracts a crowd of amiable older gents who leisurely push pool balls around the table and practice their English swear words when nothing drops. The drinks are about as cheap as they come (a Medalla will set you back $1.50), making cheerful exchanges of rounds common. There’s no phone and the hours are random, but it’s usually open from about noon to dinner time.

Bar Code
This dance club is sweaty and riotous on the weekends, bringing in Ponce’s young and restless who tend to drink like fish, dance like dogs (the local term for a distinctive step) and party like every animal in between. Beware the Wasikoki, a five rum concoction that’s served out of jugs. Expect a thorough security check at the door.

Blue Kafé
You’d never know by strolling past, but hidden within this monocolored lounge is an expansive, open-air courtyard where young ponceños chat and toast the balmy weather, offering a reprieve from some of the more wild options on the block.

Café Plaza
A slightly classier crowd comes here to thin their blood on juice drinks and beer. The tables on the sidewalk fill quickly, especially when they host live music or DJs. When it gets late, the crowd migrates into the narrow quarters to dance.

Hollywood Café
In the neighborhood near the Howard Johnson, this is off the beaten path, but a mid-20s crowd sprawls into the parking lot from Thursday to Sunday, getting rowdy with Latin rock, competitive pool and cheap swill.

Pavilion
The disco at the Hilton is one of Ponce’s weekend hot spots, catering to a mostly English-speaking crowd and Ponce’s young and wealthy.
