LA JAULA

La Jaula is listed as a gay bar and club on Avenida Tomás Martínez in central Guayaquil, in the Pedro Carbo parish near the Malecón end of downtown. It has a reasonable local following (about 4.2 on Google from 130 reviews), but we hold no confirmed details on its hours, music or events. Like most of Guayaquil's gay venues, expect it to be busiest late on Friday and Saturday nights. Call ahead (096 135 7887) or look for current posts on social media before heading out. Downtown Guayaquil gets quiet late at night, so use a registered taxi or ride-hailing app to get there and back.
