👍👍 On a recent vacation to PV, we started off the festivities after landing and checking in to our hotel at the Signature Lounge. It is also billed as a "rooftop" bar and so I was here for the view and the online drink specials. When pulling up to the location, I asked if we were to take the elevator...

THE CORNER BAR

😠 This place feels wrong on all levels. As soon as you walk in you’ll feel uneasy. Drinks are overpriced and are the worst cocktails we’ve had as a group of 5 in PV. Most notably, staff is trained to be racist and selective on who to give good service to as non-white customers are ignored. I don’t 100...

👍👍 Great little, quaint bar/restaurant. The restaurant and bar are two separate businesses that share the space so you'll have two separate checks, but it is a nice cozy place with a neighborhood feel.

🫤 A hookah shouldn’t cost $50. I feel I was taken advantage of as a tourist. Disappointed. Hookah should cost no more than $20-25 usd

Magic Beer Brewery
Bar
👍👍 Nice little spot for craft beer hunters. We've been hopping around the city looking for those good local brews. It's a small spot with only two house brews, both of which were nice. Best I can tell is that this place is owned by a local tequila distiller (Doña Engracia) that also makes these two bee...

👍👍 Pretty unique new bar. They did this one right! Great vibes, incredible house music. Nothing like it here in PV. Come Solo or with a large group as everyone is friendly.

👍👍 Came here while on an ATV tour with Estigo Tours and it has become a highlight of our trip and of all the trips we’ve been on so far.
