Bars & NightlifeGuide was updated: 24 april 2024

When it comes to partying, Limeños surely know how to have a good time. In Lima, nightlife kicks off around 11 pm, and most bars and clubs are located in Miraflores and Barranco. From local watering holes and fancy cocktail bars to the traditional peñas, there is something for every mood around here. And the pisco sour—Peru's national drink—still reigns supreme. Be aware that some nightclubs might be brothels in disguise and also that prostitution is legal in Peru. If possible, avoid the city centre at night.

Ayahuasca

Located in a beautifully decorated historic house, Ayahuasca is your quintessential restobar. Comfortable sofas, dimmed lights, high-quality food and an extensive list of pisco-based drinks are all part of the experience here. The Ayahuasca sour is a local favourite.
