General Information about Nightclubs in Mazatlán
- Mazatlán has a vibrant nightlife. Many clubs open and close every year. Below are listed some of the clubs that have been around for a while. People don't normally go out to the nightclubs until late...about 11pm. Some clubs are open until 5am on weekends. Tourists normally go to the nightclubs (e.g. Joe's, Fiesta Land, Jungle Juice) in the Golden Zone. There are a number of nightclubs that feature 'Banda' music, which is a type of music local to the state of Sinaloa. Banda dancing is a lot like polka dancing. Tourists rarely go to the Banda nightclubs.
Joe's Oyster Bar
- Obviously, the best nightclub in Mazatlán!
Jungle Juice
- Located on the second floor on the corner, just in from the Panama restaurant on Avenida Camaron Sabalo.
- Jungle Juice used to be one of the places you had to go when you went to Mazatlán. It has lot some of its popularity in the last 5 years. Now, it is moderately busy on the weekends. Some nights they have live bands.
Bora Bora
- Located in the Fiesta Land complex which is the big white castle on the point. Corner of Avenida Camaron Sabalo and Avenida Rafael Buelna.
- Bora Bora has been recently renovated. I am not sure what it is like currently. Before it was a large outdoor dance club with a cement floor, wooden tables, and a palapa roof.
- There is a large cover charge on weekends. Sometimes the cover includes free drinks. If there are free drinks it can be hard to get them from the waiters and they will want tips.
