About this place La Cueva Cantina

La Cueva Cantina is a small gay bar on Olas Altas in Puerto Vallarta's Zona Romántica, the beach-side neighbourhood where most of the town's gay bars cluster. It is a cantina, not a club: a pool table, music videos, karaoke and daily drink specials, with gay staff and a crowd that skews 30-plus, locals and regulars mixed with visitors. It opens at 3pm Tuesday to Sunday and runs until 2am; Monday is closed. That makes it a good early stop after the beach, before the dance clubs on nearby streets get going. Prices are cantina prices rather than resort prices.

This bar is one block off Basio Badillo. I had a great time. The bartender spoke very little English but he was very friendly and welcoming. Sadly I overindulged and provided my debit card. The debit was denied so I went back the next day and paid in cash. When I got back home I noticed that they charged my credit card. So I paid double. $117.00 ×2. It would have been nice if they didn't take my cash knowing that they charged my credit card. But, I really can't fault them completely as I was the idiot that drank too much and couldn't even pay my bill properly. Lesson learned.
