13 places match

  1. Drink

    Bar Fly

    Has a younger crowd. The staff is friendly and gets to know their customers. There is reggae music as well as lamp shades made out of solo cups. A definite must-see. If you are young and female, the staff will flirt unabashedly, but they're harmless and worth getting to know. If they know you are in Mexico to learn Spanish (whether you tell them or your teacher does) they won't speak English to you at all.

  2. Drink

    Bostom Bar

    Speakeasy style bar where you need a reservation and secret code to get in.

    20ː00 - 02ː00 (or 3, or 4)

  3. Drink

    Cantina La Botellita

    Known for having giant, delicious margaritas and good food. They also do 2 for 1 drinks on Tuesdays, but if you're a girl, or at least with a girl, you pretty much get 2 for 1 drinks all the time.

  4. Drink

    Caronte Bar

    Lively bar with DJ spinning the tunes and frequent drink promos.

    20ː00 - 03ː00

  5. Drink

    Don Olé Karaoke

    Try out your Spanish, but don't worry, they have songs in English too.

    Thu-Sat 12ː00 - 03ː00, opens Mon-Wed at 18ː00, Sun at 10ː00

  6. Drink

    Famoso Bar Incendio

    FBI

    A typical Mexican cantina, one of the oldest in Guanajuato. Lately they have a students environment. They are famous for their mezcales.

    M-Sa 10:00-23:00

  7. Drink

    Fante Bar

    A small dive bar with a psychedelic video on loop near the main church. It's notable in that it has the best pulque in town. Well worth a visit if you haven't tried the local drink.

  8. Drink

    Guanajuato Grill

    Another favorite of locals and tourists. It is even bigger than Capitolio and boasts two levels. It is always packed on weekends, with the same type of crowd as Capitolio. Although it plays similar music to what you hear in Capitolio, it tends to play more electronic and techno music. It also offers great drink specials, especially on bottles.

    Tue Thu-Sat 10:30-05:00

  9. Drink

    The Beer Company

    A wide range of craft beer and a rooftop with a panoramic view

    Mon-Thu 17:00-23:00, Fri Sat 13:00-02:00, Sun 13:00-18:00

  10. Drink

    Why Not?

    Another chill bar that plays unique latino indie-rock and reggae. It's a good place to hang out and play pool. The bartenders are very sociable and entertaining. Why Not is open later than Bar Fly and is often the after hours destination of the Bar Fly crowd and staff.

    Daily 21:30-03:00

  11. Drink

    Zilch

    A great bar in the Jardín Unión, they have live music from Wednesday to Saturday. Great prices, great environment, awesome terrace, great service, pool table! They serve snacks 19:00-22:00.
