Great place. Cheap drinks. For 100-120 pesos you can get almost any cocktail 1 liter. A lot of fun. Nice music. Mostly latina music. We came at 10 p. m and could chose the table. Later around 12 the place was extremely full.

If you want to party together with the locals and tired of the "gringo" places in Playa this is the optimal bar! Since the renovation is this a perfect place to dance to the latin music and just enjoy life!

Great place to get a huge cup of beer. I wish I could remember our servers name but she was very helpful and sweet. I will visit this spot again on return trips to Playa.

Was at this bar... It's a small dive! You get a free drink if you agree to write a 5 star review on tripadvisor! I can't believe more people aren't reporting this on here!

Yes, they have cheap drinks with lots of alcohol (so they don't really taste good, but they will get you wasted) - thumbs up for that.
However, they do not deserve 5 stars on TripAdvisor, and the only reason they do is because they offer people a free drink if they give them 5 stars (see photo)

This place should not be listed at high as it is reading other reviews I see why, they give free drinks for 5 star reviews they even had a sign at the entrance of the bar. No wonder why the have good reviews but is just a dive bar with very cheap alcohol. Dont expect anything more than that and you will not be disapointed as I was.

This bar is very central (you find the partyblock, calle 12, 1-2 blocks away). There are a lot of great restaurant around the block, so it is a natural place to end up at.
It is big enough to have a party in, but also feels Mexican. There is nice mixture of clientel from all over the world.
D are cheap and big (and 12 frozen shots are 100 MXN). For a Coca Cola lover (like me) this is the place to start - they, easily, serve the coldest coke (and probably beer too) in town! And this for only 20 MXN a can.
On the party street a Coke (but luke warm, or watered down with ice) can cost you 65 MXN plus tip!
Be aware! If you have had an early start and been keeping a good pace...you might end up visiting one of the two tattoo parlours on the street. Who knows how to explain at home why you got an itchy left butt-cheek saying 'L'Ambassade'??

1 liter mixed drinks (many varieties) for 55-65 pesos. Luis is the man! My wife & I went 3 of our 4 nights in PDC. Would recommend!

Go to L'Ambassade before your night out to load up on cheap alcohol. For less than $10 USD, I was all set for the rest of the night. They offer huge liters of mixed cocktails, and they seriously fill it up with liquor. This small dive bar has two floors: a sitting area and bar downstairs, and a small open rooftop lounge upstairs.
I didn't see any signs regarding the free drink for 5 star TripAdvisor reviews, but then again I may not have been paying attention.

Did you ever find a good local bar/restaurant to go to with authentic Mexican food and not the commercialized stuff they give out at the resorts? We are going in May and staying at the Catalonia Maroma Resort. I want to go to a few places outside the resort.
