Waited about 10 minutes to even be acknowledged by the staff. Ordered drinks took several more minutes to get the drinks. Waiter tells us he'll be back for food order.

Ate here two nights in a row because there aren't many other restaurants in Peru open for dinner…read more(Dillinger's is closed). Had two great experiences. This place feels more like a bar that serves food than a restaurant, but don't let that discourage you. It is very well air conditioned (bring a jacket or sweater and wear long pants!) and, surprising for a bar, was actually quiet enough for conversation without raised voices. Our waitress the first night was Jillian and we loved her! She was extremely efficient and friendly and had helpful info about breakfast options. The wine was a generous pour, the fried cauliflower was a pleasure, and the hamburger very good. The desserts are made in house (try finding that at any other restaurant!) and we were lucky that it was Boston cream pie the first night we ate there. Sooooo good!!!! On our return visit, I had to restrain myself from getting the cauliflower again and had the brisket, which was a special that night. Perfection! Smoky, melt in your mouth meaty goodness. My dining companion said the salmon with bourbon glaze was the best salmon he had ever had. And he has lived a long life. The menu also includes fried gizzards (which I was told are frequently ordered) and fried baloney. The prices for everything were reasonable. This place is clearly popular with locals, who come in to have a drink and buy lotto tix from the vending machine by the door. Everyone was friendly and in a good mood. The folks at the next table struck up a conversation with us on their way out. If there is only one place to have dinner in downtown Peru, at least it is a great place!

Walking in, there was a homemade sign at the door warning that you will be exposed to secondhand smoke, and I could soon see why. I like that smoking was allowed, but Hard Times is in desperate need of a ventilation system. It was so smoky that you didn't really need to light up to get your nicotine fix. It was extremely crowded. Not a seat was left at the bar, but they had some old tables and chairs that were empty in the back room. They had pool tables near the center of the building, but it seemec too small and crowded to comfortably play in there. Players seemed to have to pause every time someone passed by. There was no table service as far as I could tell. We went to the bar and stood at a service station. It took a couple minutes to be acknowledged. They didn't have much on draft. I know Blue Moon and a cider were two of the few choices. The other two were domestics. The girl who was bartending offered to leave a tab open. We retrieved the bottles of beer we'd ordered and returned to our table. A DJ was setting up some equipment, but extremely loud music was already playing. It was hard to hold a conversation, and the array of music was an odd mixture of Bob Marley, classic rock, country, and pop and rap music. The back room contained a tacky claw machine and some odd and lude yet funny bathroom door signs. We didn't use the restrooms, but I imagine they are small, and judging by the rest of the place, dirty. We finished our beers and exited out the side door. Hard Times isn't the worst bar I've ever been in, but I'm not itching to go back. I love holes in the wall, but it was just a little too divey for me. I wouldn't say it was friendly or fun, even though I did enjoy the company of my friends. The positive note I can make is that their beer is cheap. I'm hoping there are better bars in Peru. I wouldn't go out of my way to return to Hard Times, but I might if I were invited again.

The people next to us got the ribs and they looked and smelled fantastic. Great little dive bar with friendly staff.

Tonight was "Cigar Night," which was obvious as soon as you opened the door. Fine with me, and I might have joined them if they took credit cards. I only had a modest amount of cash and I wanted to be sure I didn't overspend on a Macanudo or Cohiba, then have to raid the ATM to pay my dinner tab. Special of the evening was a Chicken Philly. Made to order, it was hot, fresh and HUGE. Which is not to say I didn't eat every bite because I did! Washed it back with a bottled beer (of which they have plenty). I believe I was the only non-local because everyone else was talking amongst each other. The owners/bartender/cook were very attentive and made me feel at home so I wouldn't let not being a local scare you away. The food and drink were excellent and reasonably priced. Chicken Philly and a beer, out less than $20 including tip. Check it out.
