Sizzling Nights

Discover a universe of fun.

By Cecilia Escribano

There are those who say that Cabo never sleeps, and that’s not hard to believe when you see the number of fun options this place has to offer after the sun goes down.

Médano Beach is a classic destination. Here, within the ME Cabo, Passion Club serves up original cocktails and unbeatable music by visiting DJs, all in a relaxed ambience featuring comfortable chaise lounges.

Nearby on the beach is The Office, where you can experience an authentic Mexican fiesta. Every Thursday in this fun and colorful spot, you can watch pre-Hispanic dances and shows, compete for prizes in contests and even try your luck with a piñata.

If there’s one thing you must have when painting the town red, it’s karaoke. For this, there’s Arre Mango (run by the same owners as the legendary Mango Deck), located on Lázaro Cárdenas Boulevard at the entrance to Cabo San Lucas. It’s the perfect spot for singing all night to songs from Enrique Iglesias to Gloria Gaynor.

The Giggling Marlin on Boulevard de la Marina is another classic of the Cabo night scene. A MOAB (Mother of All Burgers), a BOAB (Burrito of All Burritos) or an RBN (Really Big Nachos) make the perfect beginning to a guaranteed night of music and fun.

For a delicious and original beer, Baja Brewing Co. is always the perfect option. Perched on the roof terrace of Cabo Villas Beach Resort & Spa, this place is ideal for sampling a variety of beers while enjoying the fabulous view of the Arch and live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.

The Cabo Winery, housed in a restored historic mansion just a few blocks from the heart of San Lucas, is another place to spend a fantastic evening. Be sure and try the delicious combination of lobster and filet mignon (surf and turf) here, accompanied by stir-fried vegetables, rice and mashed potatoes. And to wash it all down? Wine, of course!

Although San José is more laid-back, there are plenty of nightspots where you can have fun, dance and enjoy good wines and original drinks. Perched on a bluff at the entrance to San José, Deckman’s serves the best wines from Guadalupe Valley and around the globe. Here, you’ll always find live music and a varied menu to complement your night on the town. Owner and chef Drew Deckman will surprise you with a different menu every day.

Last, but not least, we recommend Baja Brewing Co. Just like its other location in San Lucas, this brewery boasts several delicious types of beer, a treat on a hot summer night.
