Bars & Nightlife

 

If there is a place on the planet Earth that offers more nightlife than Cabo San Lucas, Carlos Fiesta has a few words of wisdom: don't go there. You might hurt yourself.

It would be hard to imagine any city that offers more music, more dancing, and more all-night-long good times than Cabo. It starts after dinner, and ends just before breakfast. If your macho enough, you can party until the wee hours, and enjoy one of Cabo's spectacular sunrises. If you just want to go out and have a good time, but want to get to bed at a reasonable hour (to go fishing!), Cabo can accommodate you, too. Either way, the town seems to party all night long, and everyone is invited!

One of the cool things about cocktailing in Cabo the dress codes (or lack there of!). Just like Los Angles, Cabo lets you choose how you want to dress to do the town. From silk and stilettos, to bathing suites with cover-ups...it's pretty much your choice in most of Cabo's restaurants and drinking establishments!

Although not invented here, the popular past time of bar hopping has developed into a refined quest in Cabo. Fortunately, most of the clubs and bars are located close together in downtown Cabo, so drinking and driving is not necessary. There are many taxi cabs located on the main streets of Cabo, so people who were over-served will have no problem finding a fast and inexpensive way to get back to their hotels.

For many folks, the nightlife starts at the south end of town, and moves north throughout the evening. A typical evening might start with dinner, drinks, and live music at Sancho Panza Wine Bistro, departing in time to head up the street to catch the 9:15 live dance show at Giggling Marlin. After the show and dancing, a cruise up the street to the never-ending action of Squid Roe.

Obviously there are many variations on this theme...but you get the idea. Half the fun of Cabo nightlife is creating your own itinerary!
