    Chicken and al pastor taco
    Steven B.

    Friendly staff, classic rock videos playing, nice atmosphere. Weeknight, so it wasnt too crowded or loud. Had a nice casual dinner here of some tacos, fries, and a strawberry margarita. Would definitely come back if Im in the area.

    Open from 4pm - 2am. Music starts at 9pm: karaoke, DJ, live band. Most popular nights: Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Bring ear plugs. The band is loud. No monkeys or gorillas were harmed nor used in the burgers or other food.

    It's a fun vibe where a hostess rings a bell upon your arrival, there are fun monkey pics and statues all around and videos playing with rock music on big tv screens.

    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.

I wasn't aware the shrimp were fried. They were good but not quite my expectations I also ordered this refreshing, no alcohol passion fruit drink that was good but very very sweet. I would definitely come back when I visit Puerto Vallarta again. Recommend a visit here.

    If you're looking for a lively, budget-friendly spot in Puerto Vallarta to grab drinks, Cervecería…read moreChapultepec is definitely worth checking out--especially for a late-night stop or casual night cap. The atmosphere is upbeat and energetic, with loud music that really sets a fun, social tone. They also have plenty of seating, including outdoor options, which is perfect for enjoying the warm Puerto Vallarta evenings. The biggest draw here is the drinks. Everything is very affordable, making it easy to try a few different options. The mango and tamarindo frozen margaritas were standouts--super refreshing, packed with flavor, and exactly what you want in a tropical setting. They were easily the highlight of the visit. Service was decent--nothing particularly memorable, but staff were friendly enough and service was fairly efficient considering how busy it can get. Overall, this isn't a fancy spot, but that's part of the charm. It's a great place to relax, enjoy good drinks without spending too much, and soak in a fun, casual vibe. Perfect for ending the night on a high note.

    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.
