Above the restaurant Como Agua Para Chocolate, Chocolate Bar has the best selection of tequila in Lima and serves a great margarita.
This popular bar just to the right of the Hotel Bolívar's entrance overlooks the Plaza San Martín and makes a wicked pisco sour. Or step inside to the main bar and restaurant, which offer tables on an elevated terrace and a more subdued setting.
Occupying several floors of a lovely old house next to the restaurant Brujas de Cachiche, Huaringas is a pleasant place for a drink, though it can get packed on weekends.
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.

This popular restaurant also features a low-lighted lounge in front, and a lively back patio.
This lovely little bar in an adobe building one block south of Barranco's main square is a memorable spot for a drink, with its high beamed ceilings and glass cabinets filled with liquor bottles. Nights draw a substantial crowd.

With outdoor seating on the porch and terrace of this restored mansion built in 1905, and a cozy indoor cellar bar, Victoria Bar offers both intimate and lively options, along with its Old Barranco setting, trendy crowds, and excellent cocktails. DJs spin dance music on weekend nights.
