Best Bars in Tulum for a Night Out
Tulum after dark is more varied than its club reputation suggests: mojitos pressed from sugarcane in a vintage VW beetle, candle-lit mezcal dens hidden in the jungle, artsy rooftops with vinyl and board games, and open-air markets where DJs play between food stalls. Whatever your kind of night, there is a bar pouring it.

Batey Mojito Bar
The downtown icon. Batey is famous for mojitos made with sugarcane pressed fresh through the green VW beetle parked inside the bar, in creative flavors that go far beyond mint. The vibe is colorful, artsy, and alive, with street-side seating and live music from around 7 PM keeping the energy going late. A small menu of bar snacks pads the drinks. Open Monday to Saturday until 1 AM; closed Sundays. If you have one bar night in Tulum, it starts here.
La Guarida
A bohemian cafe-bar and cultural hub in Tulum Centro that regulars describe as a work of art: themed rooms to get lost in, a rooftop terrace, vinyl on the speakers, board games in the corners, and a calendar of live music, film screenings, and workshops. Craft cocktails, frappes, and local beers meet playful comfort food with vegetarian options. Open daily until 1 AM or later, and as welcoming to solo travelers as to groups.
La Pizzine
In La Veleta, La Pizzine blends bar and restaurant with unusual style: thin, wood-fired pizzas, Mediterranean salads, excellent music, and a hip open-air setting built around the glowing oven. The perfect low-key evening, great food, great tunes, no velvet rope.
Order the Mezcal Cocktails
Tulum's bars take mezcal seriously and their smoky takes on classics are the local specialty, so trade one margarita for a mezcalita and compare.
Veleta Market
An open-air food and drink market in La Veleta that turns into one of the neighborhood’s liveliest nights: multiple food stalls (Italian, Asian, Mexican, burgers) around a central bar pouring mezcalitas and espresso martinis, with live DJs, themed nights, and art in between. Open Monday to Saturday evenings from 6 PM; ideal for groups who cannot agree on one cuisine.
The Tulum Pub Crawl
For instant nightlife with instant friends, the pub crawl gathers travelers at 9 PM for a pre-party of drinking games, then hits three more venues with a free drink or shot at each, wrapping around 3 AM. Hosted, social, and safe, it is the shortcut for solo travelers and groups who want the night organized for them.
From Bar Night to Big Night
When the evening calls for more than a bar, Tulum's night clubs offer table service and reservations arranged ahead at no extra cost.
