Located in Banderas Bay on the Pacific Coast, Puerto Vallarta has long been a popular tourist destination. With picturesque beaches, a vibrant culture, and fun nightlife, this is definitely one of the best places to visit in Mexico.
This guide is for all you party animals out there, as we’re going to dive into the awesome Puerto Vallarta nightlife!
While many people may think of Puerto Vallarta as a spring break hotspot, there’s a lot more to the nightlife here than youngsters downing tequila shots at Señor Frogs. In fact, there are plenty of fun bars in Puerto Vallarta that aren’t overpriced tourist traps.
On a night out in PV, you can take your pick between chilled-out beach bars, hidden cocktail joints, local craft breweries, LGBT-friendly bars, and pulsating nightclubs. There are so many choices here that you can bar hop on every night of your trip and barely scratch the surface.
Having called Puerto Vallarta my home away from home for over two years now, I can assure you I did plenty of “research” for this guide.
I did the backbreaking work of sipping margaritas on the beach and rocking out with local bands at night just for you. Let’s get this show on the road and check out the best options for Puerto Vallarta nightlife.
Best Beach Bars in Puerto Vallarta
The thing about Puerto Vallarta nightlife is that it actually kind of starts during the day. After all, this is a beach town. There are several beach bars in PV, most of them located on the popular Los Muertos Beach.
Some beach bars require a minimum consumption in order to use their umbrellas and sun loungers. I’m not going to send you to those places in this guide. Instead, I chose some of my favorite beachfront joints that have reasonable prices and no minimum spend.
1. Swell Beach Bar
- Location: Amapas 182, Romantic Zone (click here for directions)
- Hours: Daily from 9 AM-8 PM
Located just south of the pier on Los Muertos, this is one of the top Puerto Vallarta bars on the beach. They have tons of umbrellas and loungers here so it’s never that hard to get a comfortable spot.
Swell is a great place to go in the afternoon for a casual lunch and some drinks. Go ahead and order up a margarita and some ceviche — you’re in Mexico after all.
Feet in the sand, cold drink in hand, and as if it couldn’t get any better, you can even get a massage right here on the beach.
If you’re like me and get bored sitting around, you can easily take part in some watersports like parasailing or SUPing….
