    The gal who tried stealing my money, by charging me extra on my bill for a larger tip. I did get the money back after making a seen.

    The music at this place is incredible-hence the star. But not worth the bad service and the vibe with the cartel showing up late at night. I used to feel really safe but things get weird after 11 PM. Also, the bartender tried ripping me off by charging me an extra charge when I only ordered two waters really late In the night. I did make a scene and asked to be refunded the extra charge she thought she deserved, And boy she was not happy. I was pleasantly surprised that the manager refunded the money. I considered walking away, but I didn't think it was fair she get away with a bad charge. Watch your check if you have been drinking. I did have a couple tequila shots with my friends. Because of the sketch vibe I quit early. She must've thought I was more intoxicated than I was. Just watch yourself. If something feels off-it is.

    Such a fun stop in Sayulita! Beer tastes good and is priced well. It's in a great location too!

    Don't underestimate this place. On the weekends at night they play awesome dance music! And they have a DJ. The beer pours freely and you can get their micro beers all night. There isn't much dancing but the party is a lot of fun! It's mostly strait, but one of the few bars in Sayuita where you will see gay people. Get a spot near a fan if you can as it gets hot.

    We stopped here in the afternoon and enjoyed the Sayulita and LaLancha. Great location, friendly service, good beer.

    They will steal your credit card then yell at you for asking for your card back. Dont support scams but if you must go then use cash only

Our seating was right by the beach and the server was extremely friendly to us. This place was one of the main reasons that made our Sayulita trip so memorable!

I can't figure out what this beach was called (my best guess was Playa Camaron, based on this bar), but Google is inconclusive, so this review is for the beach bar as well as the adjacent beach--which is, after all, where you enjoy your Club de Playa Camaron drinks. My friends and I came out on the Saturday of our trip, for an all-night cumbia party on the beach. We left our house after 11 and stayed out until 4 in the morning. I'm 30 years old, and haven't partied like this in a while, and never have habitually; I felt a little like I deserved a medal at the end of it, but I had a great time. I drank Pacificos and a few shots of this and that, and we danced for a bit in the bar, which had an open set-up so that we all drifted in and out between the bar and the beach. We talked to strangers, and at some point, I dug a very deep hole in the sand. We came back the next day, calmer and more sober, to spend the afternoon soaking in the heat. Not the smoothest beach--gritty sand and a lot of sharp hazards in the shallow water--but we were able to rent umbrellas for pretty cheap and had a relaxing time. We also made good use of the Club. It was always empty enough that we could sidle up and get drinks quick from the friendly bartender. (It also had a public bathroom, the only one we could find in the area. Crucial, that.) The drinks were perfect for the beach. I had a margarita and a piña colada, both frosty and blended and great for the hot day in the sun. The margarita was on point and the piña colada was a satisfying treat, sweet but not too sweet. If you're looking to party in Sayulita, definitely swing by this beach and Club de Playa Camaron for the cumbia party and a constant flow of booze. It's just as good during the day, when a cold drink can greatly improve a hot afternoon.

From the availability of parking spots for golf carts, beautiful luscious walk to the venue, beautiful bar and reception area, and the literal steps to the beach, this place was perfect. The margaritas and food that were served here were some of the best I've ever had and the staff worked so hard to ensure that food was constantly served and drinks were never empty. I wish I took pictures of the food and drinks but they were so good that I didn't even think of it! I would love to rent this venue out for my own vacation event in the future!

Plus had a wonderful chat with the owners Ricardo and his beautiful daughter Denise. Where do I start? Let's begin with the food. Outstanding. I started with grilled octopus tacos marinated in salsa pastor (tacos de pulpo al pastor). The octopus was so tender served on blue tortillas with marinated onions. Perfecto. My son had the tacos de arrachera. Flank steak. Super tender beef. Prepared with chile chipotle. Must try. I then enjoyed the tostada de pulpo en tres chiles. Yes, three different chiles. It was not spicy at all- just delicious. Take my word- just order it. You'll thank me later. The place is so beautiful with it's luscious garden, bar and patio. So nice they have weddings there. You'll have a great time. What are you waiting for?

It was a happening spot, but not really my favorite, in part because it made my face bleed (more on that in a sec). YamBak next door was world's better. The advantage here is that Don Pato is huge, with a few spacious levels, the first spilling onto, and the second and third overlooking the square. I enjoyed that view, as well as the general liveliness of the bar. There were a lot of people hanging out, mingling and drinking and dancing. There was live music at times, including a band that played a jazzy cover of the Pink Panther theme song. The drinks were pretty standard--shots and bottled beers and such--and I think I only had one here (our first visit was just a scope-out, our second a deep night outing after several hours next door and in the square). While I waited to order, the bartender dropped a bottle of beer and it shattered dramatically. One little shard made it to my cheek, where it slashed my face a couple inches from my left eye. It was a very shallow cut that didn't even hurt, and that healed quickly (the scratch was barely noticeable even the next day), but it did bleed for a while. Not a big deal, but I was surprised when the bar charged me for my one beer. It was like $2 or whatever, not worth arguing, but like, come on, if there's ever a time to comp someone a cheap drink, it's probably when she's bleeding before your eyes. Anyway, I still had a good time, and my beer (I forget what it was, but I hadn't had it before) was refreshing and tasty, totally worth a couple bucks. I don't know that Don Pato is a great drinking destination, but it's worth checking out if you're already out in Sayulita. Flying glass aside, it couldn't hurt.

We came to Don Pato's on our first night here and had a lovely night in their upstairs area. The drinks were strong and the crowd was outgoing and friendly. We made some quick friends when we initially sat down and then spent the rest of the night dancing to their cover band - which did an impressive job of covering everything from the Rolling Stones, to Radiohead, and Bob Marley. There was a nice and relaxed vibe throughout Don Pato and the band seemed to really be enjoying themselves. Both are usually strong indicators that you're in a well run place. Trust.
