 Puerto Vallarta Nightlife
There's really only one drag about it - with so much going on to satisfy every age, taste and persuasion, it's hard to decide where to start!
After dinner at one of about a thousand restaurants offering an astounding diversity of cuisines - many with live music - you can do pretty much whatever you feel like well into the wee hours. Catch a flick in English, score big at a state-of-the-art bowling alley, or shake your booty all night long. Loads of bars, discos, gentlemen's clubs, pool halls, sports bars and hard rock venues keep you hopping. And several salsa/meringue clubs give free dance lessons where you make new friends while warming up for rhythm-filled nights ahead.
Kicking back more your thing? Do it with a tall cool one on the beach soothed by easy-listening Latin-based sounds. Acknowledge your bohemian side at intimate Spanish-style piano bars where spontaneous performances are the norm. Or just do what lovers have done for eons, stroll hand in hand under a star-filled sky, your senses massaged by the primal pounding of the Pacific.

Scoff, if you wish, but if two Yoga experts in Los Angeles (of course) have their way, Yoga soon will be an Olympic event. If so, I think we should start right now to agitate for wine as well. More people drink wine than do Yoga, so what is fair, is fair.

There are now more than a dozen different sizes of Cohibas, ranging from the anorexic Panetela to the chunky Siglo VI.

 Ryan McKee
This is not a list of "party destinations." This is not a list for the uneducated drinker who doesn’t care which bourbon is being poured or which red wine is the house.

This charming town has lots going for its natives and tourists - lovely weather, a great surfing beach, excellent restaurants and shops and no high rise hotels that can hurt the laid-back ambience of this unique place.
