Hey all, heading to Coz for 10 days March 12 and was wondering what in-town night spot recommendations (or places to avoid) we might get. We are not looking for any one type of place just wanted to see what ones folks recommend as fun hangouts. My brother and I - me 29 (for a couple of more months
) / him 23 - will be staying at the Barracuda so I think we should be close to lots of places.
Counting down the days...
I'm counting down the days myself, though I have a few more to count...
There's the Neptuno disco (across the street from Acuario restaurant at the traffic light), which is vintage 70's brass and red velvet.
There's the Punta Langosta complex (including Senor Frogs and the gone-upscale Carlos n' Charlie's) if you want to pay exorbitant prices to get drunk with cruise ship folks.
There's a Hard Rock Cafe, also not my cuppa tea.
There's Fat Tuesday's on the northwest corner of the plaza, with loud gringo music, dancing on the bar, and limbo contests.
There are a few topless bars, if any of your group are so inclined; the cab drivers know where they are.
Joe's Reggae Bar is in a new location upstairs on the main drag just north of Palmeras restaurant; I loved this place when it was an off-the-beaten-path sort of a dive. The beer was cheap and cold and the music was always great. I have not visited their new location.
On Sunday nights they set up a PA in the plaza and a local group plays to a large crowd of Cozumel residents. This is not a tourist event, but we gringos are certainly welcome.
The hotel bars are generally a good place to hang out and meet other divers.
There's more, I'm sure, though Cozumel is certainly no Cancun, for which I am eternally grateful.
