Fun and entertainment Mexico

Huge disco with a scene for salsa concerts every evening. The atmosphere varies from day to day. It is important to know that, at the beginning of the evening, many groups of bracelet'gringos'come to listen to the group that happens there, before leaving the places around midnight, time to which the place finds a much more Latin face. In the programme: Salsa, reggaeton, cha and some electronic music.

The Lotus Rouge is a timeless place with an eclectic decoration. As far as the bar is concerned, the food is quite good and the cocktails are successful, but the Lotus Rouge is above all an atypical place, full of creativity and dedicated to the promotion of art in the broadest sense of the word with numerous cultural events: exhibitions, concerts, theater, conferences, etc. The setting is unique, with trampolines, swings, musical instruments, carnival masks... and a thousand small objects designed to awaken the senses and promote exchanges. A must-see in Playa.

Right next to the Quinta Avenida, Coco Bongo Villa del Carmen is the little sister of the famous Coco Bongo nightclub in Cancun. The usual Caribbean tranquility disappears even before the doors are passed. A crazy energy in these explosive shows, where flying acrobats or musical shows in the Hollywood sauce are mixed rather successful and always full of pep. Open-bar to enjoy without counting and inspired DJs. Good evening guaranteed!

We really like this traditional Cantina, which also offers good food. The atmosphere is always relaxed and warm. Locals gather here for a friendly family time, helped by the great drinks menu. Concerts are often organised, and the place even has its own mariachi trio! Authentic atmosphere guaranteed in this Cantina just a stone's throw from the Plaza Hidalgo. Another asset of the place: it has a pleasant open-air garden at the back of the bar.

We love this small cultural café with its intimate atmosphere, where jazz, son jarocho and trova concerts are held almost daily. There are several small rooms with a subdued atmosphere, as well as a small inner courtyard ideal for smoking while drinking a good draught. The establishment serves food from breakfast until late at night (the tlayudas are particularly good). It is the most bohemian and relaxed bar in the center of Oaxaca. Here you can meet hippies and travelers from Mexico and beyond.

Live music with a group composed of a singer, bass bass and pianist. Dance trail. It is not uncommon to get on stage with the musicians.

The day is going on on the beach: volleyball, football and swimming pool. And in the evening, 2 000 people can enter the box to still sweat! It reopened in 2009, after extensive renovation.

Opened in the 1930s, it is the oldest cantina in the city. Contrary to the custom that still prevails in some remote areas of Mexico, women are admitted here, as the place is relatively quiet. People don't necessarily come here to get drunk, but rather to play dice or dominoes with friends, with an occasional tequila. La Antigua Paz welcomes a rather diverse clientele made up of students and cowboys alike. On the walls are exhibited vestiges of the revolution. Authentic.

Place where you dance mainly salsa on Caribbean rhythms played by a group.

We love this restaurant-bar that has kept its late 19th century decor and is full of history. At the time, this place was frequented by various personalities, including the president Porfirio Díaz. For the little story, Pancho Villa, wanting to make feel the power of "those from below", entered La Opera on horseback and shot a bullet in the ceiling! During the revolution, Zapata also passed through here with his soldiers. It is advisable to have a glass of tequila (the specialty of the house), in the evening, but peacefully... Beautiful.

Good atmosphere in this bar, tables with candles and cocktails. Concerts in the evening, Latin music or jazz. You can eat it as well.

Cosy bar-restaurant where small concerts animate the debates very regularly.

A classic exit address for Mexicans. A chain called Señor Frog's spread across the country and reflects more or less the influence of American concepts on the popular culture of the nation.

Disco lounge and restaurant, the Glazz offers live shows and live music.

A duplex box with a disco room on the ground floor (where it is not forbidden to dance on the tables). Do not miss to climb the few steps that drive on the floor, the atmosphere is warm.

Connected club where indigenous and international wildlife blend. Capacity of 1 200 people, typical Balinese style and music of the moment. Brahma, the creator of the world, watches…

Bar entirely open on the outside. A fresh and youthful atmosphere. With its appearance of local Régine, Aurora knows how to retain its clientele with attention and smiles. Very nice.

Great cafeteria and sandwiches.

Disco-bar and bar free of charge some evenings with a reasonable entrance.

Renowned for its wide selection of beers.
