There is no doubt that the swankiest (and priciest) spot in Los Cabos is the Passion Club. Top DJs from around the world come to play their sets and fuel the cozy, neon club. The Passion Club alway has a full dane floor and hosts various VIP events throughout the year.

Slim's calls itself "the world's smallest bar," and you'll be lucky to get a seat at this kitschy four-seat space that plays honky-tonk music and serves $3 beers and tequila shots. Signed dollar bills line the walls and ceiling, and a buzzing, standing crowd loiters out the door and onto the Boulevard Marina sidewalk each evening, vibing off its energy.

For a casual, yet more refined bar scene, this chic bar is a favorite of Ensenada's many vintners, chefs, and brewers. Showcasing the local craft beers in the region, as well as wines from nearby Valle del Guadalupe, the friendly owners also brew their own cervezas on-site. Beer tastings in their brewery are available by reservation only. If you're hungry, Wendlandt serves elevated bar food using local ingredients. The nondescript bar is simply marked by their logo and an antique door.

The Baja Brewing Co. serves cold, on-site–microbrewed cerveza and international pub fare. You'll find entrées ranging from ahi tuna quesadillas to shepherd's pie, plus more basic pub food such as basil-and-blue-cheese burgers and pizzas. As for the eight beers, we recommend the Baja Blond Ale; the BBC also brews Oatmeal Stout, Raspberry Lager, homemade root beer, and a dark, smooth Black Scorpion. If you can't make up your mind, order the sampler.

The Cabo San Lucas branch of the microbrewery in San José del Cabo shares the same menu and selection of beers on tap. Yet, the partially open space atop of a seaside hotel lends a decidedly different, relaxed vibe. Perfect after a day at the beach, enjoy live music, ranging from Cuban to rock to funk, on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. There is a third, additional BBC location on the ground floor of the nearby Cabo Marina's Puerto Paraiso Mall.

American rock plays over an excellent sound system at Cabo Wabo, though the jam sessions with owner Sammy Hagar and his many music-business friends are the real highlight. Plan way in advance to attend Hagar's Birthday Bash Week—usually the second week in October—as tickets sell out. It's a large venue, with a raised stage, a tall ceiling resembling an auditorium, the longest bar in town, and, for VIPs, a lounge upstairs. Strong air-conditioning scores lots of points in the heat of summer. Make dinner reservations to avoid the long lines to get in the club. Lunch and dinner are served with extensive menus, and a taco grill cooks up tasty munchies outside if you wish to cool off after dancing. Shops on-site or at the international airport sell Cabo Wabo souvenir clothing.

Sophisticated, tranquil, and comfortable, Dos Mares offers a peaceful, panoramic view of the fishing yachts in the Marina San Lucas. Inside, a flat screen shows sports, and outside, tables on the boardwalk overlook the pier. Snack on tacos, pizza, and pasta while sipping 2-for-1 Coronas during Happy Hour from 11–5 pm. Tuesday through Sunday, a live band plays Latin and American Pop.

If you are easily offended, have a hard time letting loose, or have a heart condition, you may want to think twice before entering this 4-story party spot where anything goes. Waiters dance and gyrate with female patrons, roaming waitresses pour Jell-O shots down your throat, frat-boy wannabes attempt beer-chugging contests, and scantily clad dancers undulate in a makeshift penitentiary. During spring break or high season, more than 3,500 revelers come here on any given night—and many stay until sunrise. Feeling out of place? Head for one of the balconies on the third and fourth floors (which can be reached by elevator) where the scene is a bit less lurid. Around the corner stands the bar's souvenir shop with humorous T-shirts. If you need to soak up some of that alcohol before heading home, grab a taco from Billy Kitchen just at the front of the club. El Squid Roe also has a full menu, serving pastas, steaks, and salads.

Giggling Marlin has been around forever and predates Cabo's tourism explosion, though its gimmicks remain popular. Watch brave (and inebriated) souls be hoisted upside down at the mock fish-weighing scale, or join in an impromptu moonwalk between tables. Many fun (albeit risqué) floor shows seem to relax people's inhibitions. The age of the clientele varies, as does the music, but the dance floor is usually jammed. A nightly two-for-one drinks special packs 'em in from 11 pm until 1 am. The bartender may place a shot of tequila in front of you the minute you sit down—but you'll pay at least $5 if you drink it. Look for Giggling Marlin's drink coupon inside Cabo's free city map.

With a '59 white Cadillac jutting through the window and dozens of rock-and-roll albums and memorabilia on the walls, this Hard Rock Cafe might be in Mexico, but it is a typical member of the chain. Live rock music starts at 8 pm every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday and 2-for-1 Corona drink specials are offered daily from 6 to 10 p.m. Ladies drink free from 9 pm to 11 pm on Thursday. On the first floor is the requisite shop where you can purchase your "Hard Rock Cafe Cabo San Lucas" caps and T-shirts.

Hussong's Cantina has been an Ensenada landmark since 1892, and has changed little since then. Ask anyone here and they'll tell you that this is where the margarita was invented by bartender Don Carlos Orozco in October 1941; however, this is just one of several local establishments that state that claim to fame. Regardless, come by Saturday when you can get two margaritas for the price of one, or 2-for-1 beers every Tuesday and Thursday. A security guard stands by the front door to handle the often-rowdy crowd—mostly local men. The floor is covered with sawdust, and the noise is usually deafening, pierced by mariachi and ranchera musicians and the whoops and hollers of the pie-eyed. There's live music Tuesday through Sunday.

Twice-weekly wine tastings at this downtown wine shop make an interesting twist on a night out in Todos Santos. Stop by Monday or Wednesday evening during the October–June high season for a taste of Baja wines—a couple of vintages are featured each time—and an appetizer supplied by a rotating selection of local restaurants. La Bodega also organizes the town's largest food and wine festival, Gastrovino, which takes place each May.

Live music on Thursdays and Fridays coupled with the refreshing cocktails make this one of the best spots to grab a drink in San Jose del Cabo. Acoustic guitars add to the quaint atmosphere you’ll find in the lantern-lit, stone courtyard. Tapas make a tasty accompaniment to the house sangrias.
