Background Illustration for Nightlife

Most of the after-dark entertainment revolves around a number of cafés and bars near the city center along Calle San Francisco, Calle Zela, and Calle Santa Catalina. Many of these bars and cafés offer creative cocktails and character; some nights there's live music, typically of the rock variety. If you're dining around the plaza, there are usually groups of musicians playing traditional music and hawking their CDs.

Sunset Rooftop Bar

Don't miss the elusive entrance next to Le Foyer, then walk upstairs to this popular rooftop bar that mixes great sundowners and offers fun pisco sour--making workshops.
