Cancun Nightlife

A Cancun vacation is not just about the beach. If you're looking for action-packed nightlife then Cancun is the place to be.

You'll be spoilt for choice. Cancun is a multicultural and multirhythmic town where you'll find plenty of bars, discos and nightclubs with live music, laser shows, floor shows, giant video screens - even the crazy antics of the waiters are part of the entertainment.

Whatever your style of music, you're sure to find it - jazz, rock, salsa, reggae and lots more.

The action usually starts late, about 10.30pm and goes through the night. Most venues have a cover charge that includes all drinks.

The big nightclubs to visit include Coco Bongo, The City, Dady O, Bulldog and Dady Rock.

Popular bars include Senor Frogs, Congo Bar, Nectar Bar, La Novena.

If you're not into the vibrant 'clubbing' scene, there are plenty of choices for a quiet night out - a typical American bar, an English pub, a french bistro, or a quiet, cosmopolitan lounge by the beach or lagoon. Have a look at our Restaurant guide for ideas.

And don't forget, Cancun has a casual dress scene. You don't have to 'dress up' to be admitted to the bars, clubs and restaurants.
