Things to do in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico: The Best Nightlife
Strolling, shopping, and sipping tequila along the Malecon boardwalk of Puerto Vallarta is the best way to kick off your vacation. Then hit the cobblestone streets of Old Vallarta to browse the flea market for handmade crafts. The calm, warm waters of the Bay of Banderas make for excellent diving, or you can just watch artists sculpt spectacular creations in the sand. The cluster of fine art galleries in El Centro are perfect spots to hit on a self-guided art tour.

4. Twisted Palms Rooftop Lounge
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Harvm - Kennewick, United States
This is a great rooftop Lounge just three blocks from the beach in Old Town Puerto Vallarta. The main lounge area is really comfortable with nice tables and seating. In the background with a wall sized screen, James Bond movies (sub titled as to not interfere with your conversations) are shown. The bar is “U” shaped and is conducive to greeting old friends and to meeting new people that have discovered this comfortable lounge. You can actually enjoy background music and still have a conversation. The martini’s and mixed beverages are the best made in Puerto Vallarta. This is the place to get away from the wild and crazy night life that can happen in PV to just relax, talk, laugh and have fun.

Cocktail Bar
Reviewed By TLRush2112 - Calgary, Canada
By far, the best place to have mixed drinks in the centro of Puerto Vallarta. The menu was carefully crafted by a mixologist, and the staff is very very personable and friendly. Walking up to it, it looks like a hole in the wall place, but it’s unassuming and very good. You will want to sample everything. The Margaritas are really good (not made from sugary sirops or crap), and their mezcal flights are fun to experience! It’s very busy, so please don’t come with tons of expectations, but once you have your drinks, you’re set for a flavorful experience!

An intimate space where our expert mixologists create hand-crafted cocktails from top-shelf liquors, a selective wine list and our famous view over the ocaen and the city, Chictini is Puerto Vallarta’s best-kept cocktail secret.
Reviewed By RicardoGarriv - Mexico City, Mexico
You just need to arrive at the lobby and ask for the place, and when you are there, everyone is very friendly. The drinks are good and they have promos. View is simply amazing (8 pm is recommended for sunset)
