Somethings to note

​

  • Nights out - Night life in Antigua is rather calm, but there are bars everywhere; breweries, whiskey bars, dive bars, etc. These are are just some I liked:  ​​​

    • Barrio - Open courtyard with multiple bars. Cocktail bar, whisky bar, sports/Irsih bar, etc.  It's fun, good drinks. All types of people in each place.  Like this one there are others similar. Bars around courtyards in colonial houses.  Feel free to explore. 

    • La Casa Del Run - Upscale bar for cocktails, small bites, and rum tasting. 

    • Gay Party on Saturday - Fridas - Mexican Rest that hosts a gay party last Saturday of the month. Only gay club night in Antigua. 

    • Dance Club - Las Vibras de la Casbah - Late night in Antigua. Fun, Young crowd, top 40 music. 

    • Cafe no se - Bar - Hipster vibe. Good drinks 

​

  • Lunch/Dinners -  There are also tons of restaurants. Usually pretty good.  These are some I particularly like: Let me know if you are interested in any of them, or would like us to choose some to make reservations based on your preference:

    • More gourmet and elegant, but with cool vibe. Live music sometimes  

      • Hector Bistro ​(Traditional, Steak)

      • Los Tres Tiempos (Traditional, Fusion) 

    • More relaxed and lively.

      • Angie Angie Cafe Arte (Argentinian, Italian)

      • Sobremesa (Fusion)

    • Relaxed atmosphere ( No reservation necessary)

      • Rincon Tipico ​- Super informal, but really tasty traditional food. 

      • Chermol - Beer garden, Local beers, tasty and heavy bar food. 

      • Por que no? Cafe - Small, limited venue, Great food. A whole experience. 

​

  • Transportation -

    • ​No need to reserve additional transportation within Antigua.  The colonial area is very walkable.  

    • In Atitlan, you would get boats that do rides between towns. Easy to coordinate with hotel.
