Mr. Flamingo

Mr. Flamingo is one of Puerto Vallarta's most iconic gay bars, a bright, semi-open-air tiki spot on the busiest corner of the Zona Romántica, where Lázaro Cárdenas meets Ignacio L. Vallarta. Gay-owned and famously friendly, it pumps out pop anthems and music videos from afternoon until the early hours, with a compact dance floor and a crowd that regularly spills onto the sidewalk. It draws an easygoing, completely mixed mix of locals and visitors, gay and straight alike, and works equally well as a chill happy-hour stop or a full night of dancing. With its open facade made for people-watching and quick, friendly table service, it's a reliable highlight of the city's gay nightlife.
