Lima Nightlife

Locals and visitors alike love relaxing at this early week hotspot with its vibrant red walls, painted dragons, crimson lights, and intimate wooden tables. Electronic, pop, and live music set the tone.

Named after the ancient Incan god of prosperity and fortune, Lima’s most elegant music venue recalls the neighborhood’s days as an elite retreat, with tall stained glass windows and booty-shaking music (Latin, calypso, cha-cha-cha).

No one knows for sure what BW means, but everyone knows that this laid-back, candlelit lounge has no cover and a reservations-optional policy for the comfy couches. The space also doubles as an art gallery.

The “Angel Inn” plays up the heavenly theme with winged guardians decorating the roof, corners, and walls in this dark, cozy space. Soak up wine and beer as you groove to live tunes.

Wooden tables, yellow walls, and contemporary art for purchase make this sophisticated peña (Peruvian folk-music club) one of Lima’s finest. Watch expert costumed dancers and musicians recant the traditions of Afro-Peruvian music.

Ignore the other casinos in Lima – with 180 slots and 40 gaming tables offering favorites like craps, roulette, blackjack, and poker – this is the city’s best.

Bop around town in this colorful, comfortable party bus. Evening city tours from Monday through Saturday rock with unlimited drinks, snacks, and live music. Groups and individuals welcome.
