3 Best Nightlife in Lima, Peru

Bitter Cocktail Club

The bartenders at this hipster grotto have really nailed the speakeasy vibe: you need to request a password through the bar's website to be allowed to enter. What awaits you inside are some of the most delicious drinks in Lima, as well as red curtains, leather sofas, and a generally cool vibe.

Carnaval

This posh cocktail emporium is the brainchild of Aaron Díaz, former beverage director at Astrid y Gastón and expert mixologist at high-end bars throughout Latin America. Using ingredients such as green Chartreuse, elderberry juice, and mescal, he whips up drinks that have Lima's smart set raving. The snacks are outstanding, too.

Lima Bar

Miraflores

Down several flights of stairs from the lower level of the Larcomar shopping center is this cavernous dance club, a see-and-be-seen destination for Lima's beautiful people. The club and the shopping center are built into a cliff, so if you need a break, step out back for a sweeping view of the Lima coast. The bar is open Friday and Saturday from 9 pm to 6 am.
