Super cool spot - love the open roof. It can definitely get a little loud with the music, so just something to keep in mind depending on what you are looking for. It's definitely the best spot for great cocktails in PV though. Pricier than some other bars, but better options for mixed drinks. Friendly, patiently staff who know their stuff, and for those who worry about this - staff spoke good English. We will definitely be back next time we visit PV!

People are sitting around the perimeter of this outdoor terrace enjoying their cocktails and each other's company. My boyfriend loved his mezcal margarita. I got Mar de mango and it tasted literally like the sea. I don't remember the taste, but I was also 2 glasses of wine into the night. It's a really cute place to have cocktails and cuddle on the bench while whispering sweet nothings to each other but we could've done without stopping by here.

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.

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.

No one in the entire restaurant has entrees yet. There has to be something wrong w the kitchen. If so just tell us. Plenty of badass restaurants in PV. Dont waste your time on this one 35 mins later.... Just got salad and soup. No sign of the entrees. So we are going on 1.5 hours now. Do we just walk the f out? 1 two person table just got entrees. They were here before we got here. Ill b back.... Food came. Filet is a sirloin no doubt. The cook didnt add any seasoning to it. Asked for salt and pepper 15 min ago.

Several tables have paid for their drinks and left. Place sucks.

The owner was also in attendance. Regarding food and drinks, we ordered the chicken wings and a couple of beers. The chicken wings were fine, and the beers were cold.

My wife and I were horrified to learn the really marginal fish burgers were NINE FREAKING DOLLARS A PIECE. Idiotic. 3 SMOKING. Bars should put smokers outside away from sane people period. Second hand smoke to me is Xyklon B. Its poisonous. Terrible. So if you hate smoking ( every sane person should; cigarettes are death sticks) you want internet (duh?) and fair food prices then I'd say skip this place. We are not going back.
