El Barrio

Your one-stop shop for the night. Welcome to El Barrio! There's Bullseye bar for Trivia (every other Thu, plus wing specials), Monday karaoke, and daily sports games. There's Mahalo for good cocktails. There's the rooftop. El Barrio houses a variety of nice bars (both craft cocktails and cheap drinks) and fills up during weekends. Fun times!

EN: Complex with several bars open all evenings. Mondays are very popular as it's ladies' nights with drinks free for women. 

FR : Complexe avec plusieurs bars ouverts tous les soirs. Les lundis sont très populaires car des boissons sont offertes aux femmes. 

This was a great place to hang out as you'll find different options in one same place. At around 10.30/11pm the DJ starts and it was mainly Reggeaton music.

Very popular spot in town. Range of different bars inside and nice terrace with volcano views.
