Great drinks, fantastic happy hour prices, and local live music or a DJ most weekends. Thurs - Sat, they have this awesome guy Chino who uses the space for Chino Bites. These are the best damn dumplings I've ever had! There are 4 meat options, 1 vegan and 1 option that allows you to mix and match. So, my wife had 3 pork and I had 3 vegan ones and oh, my how good were these!! The wraps are super thin and cooked to perfection, the filling is wonderful, and I'll die on the hill that this was the best vegan dumpling/gyoza I've ever had......and it was in Mexico!! Definitely hang at Lucid when you're in Sayu and make sure to try Chino Bites, you won't be disappointed!

The whole bar is open air, but the courtyard area in the back is open to the sky. It unfortunately gets quite smoky if there are several smokers. Food is delicious, drinks are cheap, though I couldn't get anyone to make a decent cielo rojo. Also didn't care for how the owner treated his wait staff. Que Pasa hosted a boat cruise the last Saturday I was in town. It was a great price for what we got and plenty of fun! I would probably frequent this spot if I lived in the area, but it's a bit of a journey for me now. Also, they have excellent bands playing most nights. The bands alone are worth the trip to this bar!!

Bar La Playa is a MUST first-stop when visiting Zona Romantica…read more On our most recent trip to Puerto Vallarta, we wanted to spend a day in this part of the region. After looking up good places to go, Bar La Playa came up- and I'm sure glad it did! First, it's easy to get to if you're coming from North. Our Uber was easily able to drop us off without getting stuck in gridlock traffic that can affect certain roads of this area. Additionally, the location isn't a high-traffic area for tourists. That meant we were able to walk up and immediately find seats. Second, the service was top notch. I didn't get the bartenders name, but he was very welcoming, friendly, hospitable and spoke English. Just an overall cool dude and was glad to support his business. Third, the drinks were great. Finally, we were drinking 'real' drinks, not the watered down sugary stuff at the hotel. We were very satisfied with the taste of the drinks. Fourth, the prices are really good. Mexico has gotten expensive and this was a sigh of relief. You can have a great time here without feeling like you paid an arm and a leg. I highly-highly recommend making Bar La Playa your first stop when coming to this area. You're going to get great service, great drinks and all at a price that is reasonable and fair.

The view is worth the price!…read more We learned about the Sky Bar from a guy on the flight into PV. Others at the Sky Bar were also there because someone had told them how cool it is... I shouldn't even be sharing, 'cause it may get too crowded. The Good The view, the service and the drinks, in that order. We loved everything about the Sky Bar. Food and drinks are pricey. Bring your wallet. It's such a lovely place, complete with a reed covered roof that would be awesome on hot or rainy days. My group loved the area that we walked through to get to the Sky Bar from the beach. It was what one would call 'friendly to all people'. The Meh - nothing to report The Bad - nothing to report

This place has two levels, both with great space to bring a group of people. There are bars on each floor with plenty of rooms to stand up or sit down at booths. We came on a Tuesday night with anticipation of coming back on Saturday night. The rooftop is one story up, covered but still in ambient air so you can feel the great summer climate while enjoying a cold drink. The drink service was a little slow but we weren't in any rush when we came. Drink quality was below average, I got the Ginger Mint Paloma and my wife the Jalisco express. If you're looking for a great cocktail this isn't your spot. I would recommend coming for a quick drink and moving on or coming to end your night here. Big perk is the length of time they are open (4AM!) One nice thing is that they played the NBA in season tournament game upon request and have a big TV upstairs to watch from. Overall we are keeping our night going but come check it out! Prices are very reasonable.

This is a GREAT spot. I went for martini Monday (85 pesos martinis all night) and ordered a house…read moremartini to start. They use tanqueray as their house gin which is unusual but a pleasant surprise as it actually happens to be my preferred brand. I didn't have high hopes for the martini - I find that outside of major U.S. cities places end up putting in way too much vermouth - and it actually ended up being fantastic. It didn't taste too different from what I would make at home which is probably the best thing I could say about a martini (for my own personal taste). I tried a fruitier one - the Gigi - as my second and final drink. It was good but I'm just not a fruity drink person. I just wasn't equipped to handle another standard martini lol. The ambiance is phenomenal - it was both casual and comfortable yet classy. The crowd was much older than I expected although not in a bad way at all. There were lots of expats in their 50s and 60s. I was worried it would be a rowdy rooftop and by contrast it was actually a very chill vibe. Only complaint is that the bathroom is outside of the venue down the stairs and you need a key to enter, which was a bit annoying bc I wanted to use the restroom before I left and I forgot to ask for the key on my way out. Small annoyance and certainly wouldn't prevent me from going back.

So we went upstairs to the outdoor bar / lounge area. We were a group of 12 and there was a cushioned corner for us that fit all of us. We loved the open air concept with plants all around. The staffs were amazing. The drinks were good. By the time we left at 11pm, the club floor had 3 go go boys and it was starting to get busier. It was a fun night out.

The drinks are reasonable, but unlike Mr. Flamingos and a few other places they do charge a cover to get in on most nights. It's multileveled which can be fun especially with great music, dancers and drag performers in abundance. People are pretty friendly here, but not the most welcoming to everyone. They were pretty nice to us, just a touch rude to another group of patrons from what I saw while we were here - at least at the door. The bartenders are fun. The music is epic. High energy. Outside patio area is gorgeous. We didn't stay here long at all. We just didn't vibe with this hot spot as much as other places, but still a great place. And overall (at least in my opinion) it's not AS feel good as neighboring LGBTQ+ spots in PV. That said they have some great events, beautiful dancers and great club lighting.

The staff were very attentive including taking my order, bringing my food, clearing my table, and bringing the check. It first started with them bringing some complimentary toasted bread with jams and butter. Since I ordered fajitas and a beer, it was a little weird to get bread, but I still ate it anyhow. The surf and turf fajitas were fresh off the plate, sizzling with envy! I would definitely come back here again next time I am in the Zona Romantica.

I love that I can get a great iced tea here that I sometimes struggle to find in Mexico. The service is also absolutely impeccable. Definitely spend the extra money and get fresh fruit on your pancakes, waffles or French toast. You can even indulge in a scoop of ice cream that makes it even more amazing. I also like the Freddy's Tucan slam. I think it's the best value on the menu. And if you eat it, you probably won't need lunch. I regularly come here when I'm in PV and will continue to do so.

The bar is small, and at times, there is no seating so you just have to wait. They have basic beers and a full bar and various sporting events playing on the TVs.

I had a chance to meet the owner (big Sun Devil's fan) and enjoyed hearing about this venture of moving to Mexico and buying the bar over 17 years ago. Regarding the service, it has always been very good.

They're actually nice in taste as some can leave a weird aftertaste. But there were refreshing. Pricewise they're good and they also have happy hour.
