Hip hop, dance, trance, pop and the unforgettable greatest hits from the 70's and 80's are mixed by the best DJ's in town while every now and there is a pause while the acrobats fly from one side of the club to the other, circus acts perform on the stage, or a group of professional dancers do a tribute to disco music. Coco Bongo has state of the art audio and video equipment, and also features confetti explosions, balloons, and foam parties every now and then. One thing is for sure, the action never stops during a night at Coco Bongo!

Dady'O

One of Cancun's most popular clubs, Dady'O, first opened its doors at the very end of the 80's and still today it continues to host some of the best acts and the wildest nights in Cancun. Bikini contests, open bar promos, 80's and the 90's theme nights, as well as the best DJ' s from around the world playing dance, techno and pop hits all night long, are just some of the secrets of success for Dady'O.

On the other hand, Dady'O, is a magnet for young local people and spring breakers, since the events calendar features such attractions as wet T-shirt contests, bikini contests, or a search for the best male body.

Basic

Imagine yourself dancing in Cancun's only nightclub located out over the Nichupte Lagoon. Got the image already? Well, the name of the place is Basic. This popular hotspot in Cancun features a really innovative design, where the club is half open to the elements, so you can see the twinkling stars, the lights reflecting off the lagoon and feel the warm breeze as you dance the night away. The club itself resembles a small island, connected to land by a bridge, which you'll have to cross to enjoy the high-energy atmosphere and the mix of electronic and pop music. Basic also holds foam parties, wet T-shirt contests, 80's nights and "girls drink free" promos.

Bulldog Cafe

Famous rock bands, pop singers, rappers and hip-hop artists have all graced the stage at Cancun's Bulldog Cafe. Zoe, Molotov, Jumbo, Cafe Tacuba and Julieta Venegas are just some of the names that have been on this club's high profile lineup, performing to audiences of close to 2000 people. There's even a VIP lounge at the Bulldog Cafe, where you'll find a Jacuzzi with a perfect view of the band playing or of the famous laser show.

Senor Frog's

Senor Frogs, in the Cancun Hotel Zone, has two different sides to it. During the daytime it is a fun tropical restaurant serving delicious hamburgers and other fast food, then in the evening it turns into a place to party where literally anything goes, from dancing the night away on the stage or on the bar while a band plays, to entering exciting contests organized by the animation staff, singing for the crowd, or even flying down a slide that ends in the Nichupte Lagoon!

The City

The City is one of the biggest and best nightclubs not only in Cancun, but in all Latin America. This is due to the incredible live shows featured here that not only include acrobats, but also the best DJ's, rock bands and singers. Spread over three floors, The City features a total of nine bars that can keep the drinks flowing to a capacity crowd of 5000. The City also has state-of-the-art audio and video equipment, featuring huge flat screens so everyone in the audience can see the entire show. Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Ludacris, and Fergie are just some of the big-name artists who have performed at The City Cancun.

Barezzito

This is a sensational bar that is located in the modern and new Plaza Peninsula, where all week long, Cancun's high society comes to hang out. With live groups, excellent drinks and an ambiance that is difficult to top, Barezzito Cancun is a place to see and to be seen. Don't forget to ask about for the attractive promos which you'll surely want to take advantage of.

Mambo Cafe

You can't come all the way to Cancun and not try your hand at dancing to the rhythms of Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, and more, that's why you should have a night out at Mambo Cafe. Everything about this club, from the decor to the friendly staff and crowd, gives it a very tropical feel, and the bands that play here, from all over the Caribbean and South America, are simply outstanding!

Yaxchilan Avenue

If massive nightclubs with thousands of partygoers aren't really your thing, then why not take a trip downtown to the Yaxchilan Avenue. This whole street is full of little bars and restaurants and has a much more traditionally ''Mexican'' feel than the Cancun Hotel Zone, and the prices are often much more reasonable as well. Many of the bars show sporting events on big screen TVs, have pools tables, and offer games such as jenga, cards and dominoes. The restaurants, in general, serve a good variety of traditional Mexican food but watch out the salsas can be spicy! Next time you are in Cancun take a stroll down the ''Yaxchilan'' and experience the real flavors of Mexico.

Yesterday Bar

Come enjoy the best in music of the 60s, 70s and 80s at Yesterday Bar, where you'll be able to drink, chat and enjoy even the videos of those hits you grew up with. Have a good time with friends as you watch those videos that you love on big screen TVs, nibble on some excellent starters and have chilled drink to top it all off. You can be sure that if you're looking for a good time in a laid back ambiance, it's going to be at Yesterday's, where trends don't exist; only lifestyles.
