Nearly all of the Puerto Vallarta gay nightlife scene – the clubs, bars, discos, cantinas and lounges are on the South Side/Zona Romantica, and three are just north of the Cuale River which runs through the middle of town. The gay bars are within a rather short distance of each other. Sunset will find the gay crowd poolside at Vallarta Cora and at the rooftop of the Blue Chairs Sunset restaurant-bar which has daily events.

Tourists tend to go out for dinner and then for conversation and drinks at Apaches, Garbo, Sama, Frida, La Noche, or Los Amigos. Later on they go to the disco clubs after midnight until the early morning hours. People will often walk the circuit from one place to the next until they end up at nightclub Manana or Paco’s Ranch (formerly Club Paco Paco) to dance, drink and cruise. The stripper shows at several nightclubs are popular – Anthropology and Manana take the lead with quite a few handsome strippers in their line ups. Btw, the legal drinking age in Mexico is 18. I also advise you to keep track of your tab at all the gay clubs, bars and restaurants in town. In general the Puerto Vallarta gay nightlife and entertainment scene in the discos tends to start late, usually livening up around midnight or so, and of course weekends are the most active.

Antropology – Central/Downtown – 101 Morelos, Plaza Rio Cuale.

“The study of Man.” Anthropology generally features close to 20 male strippers who give near continuous entertainment from 9pm to 4am nightly. The strippers are attractive, extra friendly and very entertaining as one would be by dancing on the bar, the floor and the table.

A great place to come alone or bring friends. The bar staff just happens to be good looking as well. Promotes itself as Mexico’s only gay male stripper bar where the strippers take it all off – for men only. Cover, but free passes are often available at many gay hotels and the gay beach. Club can be booked in advance, on a limited basis, for private parties. Daily 9pm-4am
