The refurbished 19th-century mansion that houses Ayahuasca would be worth visiting even if it wasn't Barranco's chicest bar. The wild decor—it is named for the hallucinogen used by Amazonian tribes—and light menu only adds to the allure.

This stylish lounge has quickly become Lima's hippest night spot. The décor is Nordic; the drink of choice, gin and tonic; the cuisine, tapas. There's no sign outside, but the super-cool welcome from the bartenders makes it clear you're in the right place.

Run by a nonprofit cultural association, this supper-club theater showcases Peru's colorful danzas folklóricas, especially those from Puno, near Lake Titicaca. The music, costumes, and virtuosic footwork evoke the joyous frenzy of the region's Virgen de la Candelaria festival. Take a cab when you go; the theater is a bit hard to find.

Facing Barranco's main square is one of the neighborhood's most venerable establishments, though the premises definitely veer toward the bare-bones and bohemian. Built by Italian immigrants in 1905, the former pharmacy is packed nightly with limeños drawn by the cheap drinks, historic setting, and ham sandwiches.
