Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for La Paz right now.
Bars and clubs open and close in La Paz in the blink of a llama’s eyes, but some have stood the test of more than a couple of months of existence and are worth visiting, especially for live music. To check what’s going on and what’s still open, check out a free weekly culture and nightlife guide, such as Mañana Seguro, MetroBlog, or the excellent Bolivian Express.
Well-to-do thirtysomethings hole up with '60s, '70s, and '80s music videos and pricey beer at Capotraste. Take a look at their menus—every one is a classic rock album. There's a well stocked wine bar downstairs and the music is always good.
A good option for live local rock, the cover charge averages Bs. 25.
For authentic Bolivian music, Peña Huari is one of the best. The cover is $15 USD and does not include dinner.
A suitably dimly lit atmosphere sets the perfect mood for the programmed live performances (Wed.–Sat., check the flyers outside) and the impromptu jazz sessions (Tues.) at this club, which has become an insitution in the La Paz nightlife scene.
This is a pleasant, laid-back option for live music. They often feature reggae (particularly on Tuesday) but also encompass everything from rock to alternative Latin. The bar isn't exceptional but is famous for its fiesty fruity cocktail of singani and papaya, the Tutuma.
