The Best Bars in Playa del Carmen for Every Taste & Occasion

Your Guide to the Best Bars in Playa del Carmen

It’s no secret: vacations and drinks go together like tequila and lime. That’s why we’ve mixed up this helpful guide of what to expect as your carouse the best Playa del Carmen bars for every occasion.

Riviera Maya Drinking, By the Numbers

First of all, we recommend venturing out for a taste of Playa’s most creative cocktails. Try as many places listed below as possible. As you do so, bear in mind a few rules of thumb:

  • Though super popular and “hip,” 5th Avenue bars are often overpriced.
  • Well-made cocktails range from 80-120 pesos, beer 30-40 pesos.
  • Tipping is not as paramount as in the U.S., especially for beer.
  • Every bar in Playa uses purified water (ice included).
  • Bars close by 2am, when the party moves to the clubs.

 

A Taste of Mexico

  • La Mezcalinna (12th St, btwn 1st Ave & the beach) – Mezcal is the featured spirit at this quaint bar. Be sure to try both the Peanut and Passion Fruit Mezcal Shots.

  • Club de Cerveza (5th Ave, btwn 34th & 38th St) – You won’t find a better selection of Mexican craft beers in all of Playa (along with 60+ from around the world).

Hit the Beach

  • Fusion Bar & Restaurant (6th St & the beach) – Sipping cocktails in the sea breeze, feet stretched out in the sand. Does it get any better?

  • Wah Wah Beach Bar (2nd St & the beach) – Live music Tuesday-Saturday and an all-you-can-eat pig roast every Sunday make this place a local hit.
