Two bars in town popular among foreigners are Twisted Tanya’s and Nia Lola, with conveniently consecutive happy hours (4–6 p.m. and 6:30–8 p.m., respectively).
Via Via Café is another favored spot for the traveler crowd to have drinks in the evening, with salsa night (including an instructor) on Wednesday, ’80s–90s party on Thursday, and European dance music on the weekends, starting at 9:30 p.m. Movies are shown at 7 p.m. on Sunday for a buck.
The same owners run Barcito a few blocks away, a laid-back spot specializing in wine and snacks.
Xibalba at the Camino Maya hotel is a popular spot, with two-for-one specials and passion fruit margaritas.
