Fun and entertainment Pacific Coast

La Fuente reigns supreme among Guadalajara's cantinas, a living legend frozen in time since 1921. It's a place worthy of movie sets, where the soul of jazz intertwines with the murmur of double bass and piano. Politicians, journalists and music stars have all bowed to its charm. Here, within these walls steeped in history, conversations mingle with the flavors of torta ahogada, the local specialty. An ideal break from the hustle and bustle of the cathedral, regional museum and government palace.

Opened in 1930 and located just across the street from the Zócalo, this bar is a Taxco must-see. Push the door and you'll find yourself in a small place with a kitschy and very eclectic decoration. One of the walls is entirely covered with banknotes from many different countries. The drinks are excellent; you absolutely must try the famous eponymous cocktail, invented by its founder, which contains tequila, lemon and honey. Ba-da-boom. To enjoy the view of the Zócalo, head for the small terrace upstairs.

The place was originally a modest stall for the distribution of renowned mezcals made by a cooperative of small local producers. The choice is fair and precise: tobaziche, cenizo, tovala, cuish, tepextate, espadín... You can taste and drink a few drinks on the spot, in a somewhat reloaded decor. In the evening there is a roof terrace where the regulars gather. From Thursday onwards, there are some local bands performing there. An excellent address, away from the tourist hustle and bustle.

The drinks are a bit expensive, but those who want to listen to a good group play salsa is here. This large two-storey bar, with the walls of thousands of guests, echoes the true Bodeguita del Medio, Havana's Cuba. From 22 p. m., the rooms invite visitors to the dance trail quite easily. 

Telephone and Internet connection point. Count 150 pesos for 5 h. 

One of the oldest discos in Acapulco. Dance on electro music, cumbia, but also music from the 1960 s and 1970 s.

On the fourth floor of the commercial Gallery Plaza Bahía, 28 tracks, but also 6 billiard tables, video games and giant screens to follow major sporting events.

Select bar-box, varied music. We advise you to book if you are accompanied by a room. Foreign tourists are always accepted.

Very bright and trendy restaurant-bar. Ideal for exiting all the more as it is located on the main square. About types of margaritas, many bottles of alcohol and exotic food: scorpion, crocodile, snake, kangaroo… The design of the floor is interesting: large red seats whose profiling suggests immediate takeoff for Saturn.

Alas, the best chocolate breads on the planet are not made in France, but in this small café in Mazunte. Set in a garden decorated with dream catchers and multicolored mandalas, this Ícaro is first and foremost a place of relaxation and entertainment. It perfectly reflects the spirit of this beautiful seaside village. There is also a community library, an art gallery and fresh and tasty food. Everything here is delicious. We recommend arriving early, as these hot rolls go... like hot rolls!

For a change from mezcal, why not try a little Mexican beer? Cerveceria de Colima is simply one of the country's most prominent independent breweries. It serves all the local varieties on draught that are prepared in the adjoining factory, as well as delicious meat and seafood dishes. The excellent craft beers are enjoyed in the simply laid out garden. Musical events are held here regularly. Please refer to the website.

This is the beautiful theatre of Colima, which is located in the heart of the city and was built at the end of the 19th century (from 1871). It is the only centennial building in the state. In 1879, when its construction was not yet completed, the theatre hosted bullfights. Since then, it has been the cultural heart of Colima, where plays, operas, festivals and performances are held throughout the year. Thanks to important renovations, it has recovered its splendor after decades of decay.

In Mombasa, depending on whether you arrive around opening time or later in the night, you'll notice a slight variation in the atmosphere. Visitors think they're going for dinner, but often end up standing on their tables, dancing like crazy to the beats of the DJs. The atmosphere is impeccable, as are the seafood dishes and cocktails. Electronic music fan or not, this is the bar to go to to be served by friendly staff, to enjoy your vacation, and to let your hair down. Perfect for night owls.
