Carlos O'briens is a decent club. It's not the best in Vallarta but it's still fun. Drinks come by the yardstick which is nice. They have 2 for 1 specials occasionally on the yardsticks. The music is pretty good they play a good variety. Monday nights they have the Thong contest. Seemed like when I was there there tended to... more

You can get better Mexican food in the states and have a better time at many of the other Macelon restaurants/bars/clubs. The hostess was rude, and the waitor made a huge deal out of paying with a credit card. He took my card and drivers license to the back room for more than 5 mins. I did not experience this... more

This bar was a blast! Earlier in the evening (9:00 or so) the staff had contests and games: dancing, sex position, dirty balloon games, couples games, etc.! The staff can be a little creepy, they may try to make out/fondle you so just put em in your place or shove em away on the packed dance floor. They can get... more

We went to Carlos O'Brians on a Wednesday night, was pretty busy and a lively crowd. We paid $30 US (300 pesos) for a taxi to the bar and open bar all night, which is a pretty good deal, also got a free t-shirt. Only complaint I have about the open bar was you had to get your drinks from... more

Carlos O'briens is the oldest club in Puerto Vallarta, but yet still is one of the best. I've been there 4 times now and I've had so much fun each time. This place gets packed everynight. The music is great and they have contests going on there all the time. You can buy liquor here by the yard. The glasses... more

May 7,2005 I had the wonderful opportunity to go to Carlos O'Brien's in Puerto Vallarta. I have watched break dancing on television before, but never in person, except for a few barely so, so breakers. I am very surprised that these guys have not been hit up by hollywood or other well knowns. They are truly professionals! They also have... more

Went there with 3 friends a few times over a course of 2 weeks. We are all 18, so enjoyed it. Saw the thong contest, but wasnt that great. They play good music, but the dance floor is pretty small. All in all a good club, but I wouldnt stay there all night, club hop instead. more

The workers in the gift shop told us to walk 8 blocks to Carlos O'Brians and they would honor the coupon. the walk was closer to 20 and when we arrived... more

We had hamburgers there. I asked that they be cooked medium. The came to us well done and dry with very little taste. The waiters were rude and the service was poor. I won't go there again. more
