And they were some of the best dancers I’ve seen in Mexico, regardless of how much clothing was worn. In fact, Rafi and I were shocked by how pleasant everyone was. When a dancer sits next to you on the big comfy couches, you should expect to tip – not that their pushy about it. Even on a Thursday, there were about two dozen dancers prowling the floor. It’s sexual, it’s loud, there’s lots of underwear. No credit cards accepted, so pack some pesos – it’s a strip club after all. This was quite the place to start my night.

The first and second floor are fine for those in a ten-gallon hat, but the real treat comes on the third floor (“the Bear Den”). You can expect a much different crowd, but a welcoming atmosphere nonetheless. This western bar was a pleasant surprise. Go to Reinas for a quiet bar with a quirky vibe.Ĭalle Venustiano Carranza S/N-C, Col. When you’re looking for something a little less conventional, this is a solid bet. The audience is eclectic, to say the least, and the setting is gaudy. You’ll walk in to find a mural of Elizabeth II on the wall and a crowd of queens at the bar. There’s nothing on Earth quite like Reinas. Go to Kinky for karaoke and a fun, friendly atmosphere. There’s something heartwarming about people of all races swapping songs in English and Spanish. It’s close to the most popular Puerto Vallarta spots and has a nice little open-air lounge to chat in before singing. It won’t make most lists of gay bars in PV, but there are show tunes and a rainbow flag – so how couldn’t I include it? Kinky is a great space for karaoke in the gay neighborhood of town.

Go to Paco’s Ranch for a traditional drag show.ĭaily: 10 p.m. It’s worth checking out, but in my experience, there are better places to catch a show in PV. This severely limits the usual crowd work, tip giving, and raunchy physical malfeasances most people love about drag shows. The first-floor audience is separated from the stage by a railing.
