Great Time

Sep 2023 • solo

I happened to come across this bar while staying at Puerto Escondido. I was not disappointed, Elim and Brenda are both diligent and well-paced behind the bar. Fabian is on top of everything, serving-wise. Overall I had a great time, if you happen to have some free time on a Sunday night, be sure to check out their Salsa night. So for anyone visiting make sure to add this place on your checklist when visiting Puerto Escondido! Cheers!

Had a really nice time here having some drinks with my friends during the sunset. The bar staff even have a volleyball where you can play beach volleyball on their beach volleyball court. Fabian was a legend. Highly recommend coming here, the service was amazing and all the bar stuff were so friendly

Def Disappointed

Feb 2020 • couples

Went for the happy hour (5-8 pm) pina colada special ( first drink 35 pesos ($2), refills $25 pesos (1.50), served in a pineapple husk. Drinks were warm, watery and fairly small, even granted the low price. Between the two of us, had ten and never caught even a mild buzz. Topped things off with an attempted 50% overcharge on our tab, which while admittedly was immediately corrected, but still, left a bad feeling. Go elsewhere, pay a little more.

Great sunset bar

Very nice bar to see the sunset. The drinks were delicious. We went there several times and depending on the staff the timing to be served could variate.

Please order the “Al Pastor” or “Vegan”, amazing experience. Outstanding service and great mood. Also the blonde ale (locally crafted) was great. The view is amazing too!

Best cocktails

Jan 2020 • none

We found this spot based on the recommendation of a bartender at a great bar in Oaxaca City (Fernando at Aloha Oaxaca) who we found due to a recommendation by another bartender and so on and so on. It did not disappoint. Low key spot on the beach with a great little round central bar you can sit at, amazing selections of spirits and a very talented bartender/owner (Chris). We had multiple cocktails here, including the best Pina Colada we have ever tasted. It's a beach bar, so expect the service to be pretty relaxed, but the drinks are on par with some of the most top notch city tiki bars.

Cocktails not so great

Dec 2019 • none

The girls serving are friendly but the guys behind the bar don't know how to make a piña colada so we didn't take advantage of the happy hour offer. Disappointing.

Excellent Beach Side in Puerto Escondido

Apr 2019 • none

I went to the palapita bar prior to Happy Hour (Apr 17, 2019). As a prior post indicated the drinks were the most expensive - I did Not find that to be the case. I drank a Jack Daniels and Coke - for two plus the tip, around $12.00 US. I did not find that offensive and the VIEW - Great!!!

Nice spot to grab a beverage and watch the sun set. Cocktails are amazing- happy hour piña coladas are also delicious. 10/10 would recommend.

Dont go here. Dishonest

Feb 2019 • friends

Location and atmosphere are good. But as noted on another review, the tip was added to our bill, that dont mention that and then they kept our substantial change without offering it back. The bartenders are not Mexican, which we would much prefer. They were snooty, and we are guessing from Argentina. Drinks are the most expensive of any beach bar in Zicatela. Go somewhere friendlier and more honest! Like Fresh restaurant and bar next door. Or anywhere else.

Scam Alert: Check your bill, "propina IS included"

Dec 2018 • couples

This is a nice spot on the beach with friendly servers (at least superficially), a chill vibe and decent (if slightly weak) cocktails. Unfortunately, there is also something scammy going on. I looked at our bill: an 18% propina (tip) was included as an item where the drinks were listed. At the bottom of the same bill, it said, "propina not included". The objective here can only be to scam people into tipping twice by leaving the "propina not included" comment at the bottom of the bill next to the total. When I mentioned to the server that, since the tip was included, I would not add anything else, he had the nerve to point to the bottom line and tell me that the tip is not included. Then I pointed to the tip line and he said, whoops, they just got a new system. Outrageous! Also questionable, there was a 16% IVA (value added tax that is rarely added onto a restaurant bill in Mexico) and a mysterious $50 peso charge - for what??? So, this is a hip looking beach bar that will rip you off if you are not carefull (in fact, even if you are careful. What are you going to do, stand at the bar and argue about the 50 peso charge, the 18% tip and the IVA). This is the type of practice that gives beach towns in Mexico a bad reputation.

great place for a few drinks

Nov 2018 • solo

I asked for a long island which was not on the menu and the waitrr told me no problem. I told him I was picky and asked how he made it which he respondwd with the correct alcohols. Drink came out fantastic. Besides the drinks, staff is vsry fun and friendly, atmosphere can not be beat. Great cabana on the beach, a little music. Impossible not to be happy here. :)
