Los Muertos maintains a consistent beer menu, with some arriving to the table colder than others. They also have some good pizza deals throughout the day at least before 5:00pm when I have visited. The downstairs seating area has several elevated tables and chairs. The bathrooms have been clean. It also appears to be popular visitor and expat hangout spot. Regarding the service, it has been consistent; friendly and efficient. Overall, it a cool spot for a quick beer and pizza for us.

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.

The owner Marisol was so attentive. she started chatting with us and showed us containers with a rattle snake or a scorpion inside filled with mezcal. We got a shot of the rattle snake one.

Overall, a very delicious and memorable experience. Also away from the touristy scene which was a fresh of breath air. I totally recommend it!

The only disappointment is that we stopped in here for Mexican food and there was none to be found. There were nachos and guacamole on the menu, and eyeing other tables, both looked good. But everything else on the menu was American food. They also get bonus points for greeting you with an ice cold hand/face towel. So if your tired of tacos and just want some American food, this is definitely a great option to get off the hot streets and cool off with an ice cold beer and warm Mexican hospitality.

We visited Cheeky Monkey for $1 Margaritas and to watch the sun set before we went to dinner. The menu consists mostly of casual bar food, salads, seafood and pasta dishes, sandwiches, and pizza (think Chili's in the U.S.) so I wouldn't come here for the food. We ordered the fried zucchini sticks and onion rings and they were fine, but you can tell the menu is geared towards American tourists. I believe I paid less than $30 for two appetizers and 12 margaritas - awesome deal!!!

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.
