La Cueva Cantina, on Olas Altas in Puerto Vallarta, is a low-key gay bar that brings together locals and visitors. Most people are 30 and up, settling into a relaxed vibe for a drink and conversation. The gay staff are friendly, making you feel at home.
You can find all the usual bar entertainment: karaoke, pool tables, and video screens. It’s for casual fun, not pretension. If you've spent the day at the beach or exploring Puerto Vallarta, this is a good spot to unwind. Daily drink specials keep prices down, so you won't blow your budget.
It’s open 3pm to 2am, Tuesday through Sunday. Drop in for an early drink, or stay until closing. If you want a game of pool, a chance to sing, or just to hang out with a mixed crowd in a casual Mexican cantina, La Cueva Cantina works. It’s the kind of neighborhood spot that draws travelers looking for real local LGBTQ+ spaces, not big club scenes.

Best local bar in town. Cheap beer hot men
super friendly staff!
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.
Great Mexican cowboy bar. Meet locals and experience the friendly and fun staff.
Great little off the grid neighborhood bar
