About this place Paco's Ranch

Paco's Ranch is a gay-owned dance club on Ignacio L. Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta's Zona Romántica. It's been part of the town's gay nightlife for many years, and most people end up here after the earlier bars close. Expect a dance floor, drag shows and a crowd that's mostly in its thirties but spans all ages. It averages 4.5 on Google from about 2,400 reviews. It opens nightly from 22:00 until 06:00 and fills up after midnight, especially in the winter high season. There may be a cover on show nights. Check the Facebook page for the drag line-up. Most of Zona Romántica's gay bars and hotels are within a few blocks.

I visited Paco’s Ranch during Pride Week, and while the atmosphere was as amazing as ever, I did find the cover charge exorbitant compared to other times of the year. I completely understand that it's a peak tourist season in Vallarta, but the price increase feels excessive and detracts somewhat from the experience. Aside from that, the place remains one of the best for a night out: the service is excellent, the staff is usually attentive and efficient, the music keeps the energy high all night, and the shows continue to be some of the most entertaining and memorable in Puerto Vallarta. It's clear why it remains a classic and such a popular meeting point during Pride. I would definitely return for the atmosphere and the shows, although it would be ideal if they offered slightly more reasonable prices during those dates so the experience feels fairer for everyone.

I’ve been to PV numerous times and never had any issue. Tonight I came here for the first time and got my wallet stolen. I’m not saying it’s the venues fault, but I would encourage everyone to be very aware. If they let criminals in, this will happen to other people. They also tried to take my phone and I had to grab it back. Shame on security at this place
