Bar gay vallarta

But there are five well known gay bars that have been operating since the turn of this century and have had an important impact on the gay history of the city. Each has their own unique culture, clientele, and vibe. Some have slightly different names and locations than when they first opened, but all have in common an incredible longevity, and storied traditions.

Apaches Martini and Cocktail Bar. Apaches, as it is popularly known, was opened in November vallartaas a Lesbian Martini and cocktail bar by Mary Ann Rattray, originally from Kimberly, British Columbia. Shortly thereafter, a tourist from the Netherlands bar in town named Gay Bruining. It was love at first sight, and the two quickly became a couple.

They began operating the bar together, and it became an instant hit with their fiercely loyal clientele. After several wonderful years in Puerto Vallarta, and making an untold number of friends, they decided to settle into their retirement years in The stars vallarta perfectly, as Apaches current owners Ricardo Brehm and Geoff Dodds took the reins, and have lovingly nurtured this iconic space ever since.

The couple, wildly popular among the Apaches family, are present nearly every night, to welcome, chat, provide introductions, and become personally acquainted with all who enter. Outrageously fun, it has the warm feel of a supportive community center, gay the added benefit of serving the greatest martinis in town. The bar is colorful inside, an intimate space with a large personality.

Locally inspired modern art is displayed throughout, while behind the bar a diverse range of cool signage reigns supreme. Come for one, and stay till two. Bar Frida 4. He had retired from a 20 year sales career in Toronto, and a 10 year stint as the owner of a floral shop in Vancouver, Canada.

Spending his first two years in town at the beaches and cantinas, he felt something was bar. He eventually saw a flyer advertising a bar for sale at Lazaro Cardenas, where Reinas Bar currently stands, and as fate smiled down, Bar Frida was born. Then wanting to expand, but unable to, he began the search for a new location for his beloved Frida.

As luck would have it, he found a great location on Insurgentes, which Frida occupied for approximately nine wonderful years. The property was eventually sold and had to be vacated within two months. For a second time, a spot was found on Lazaro Cardenas. After a long search, Tom found the perfect spot on Venustiano Carranza, and on October 31, Frida 4.

The space has a warm neighborhood feel, bright and friendly, with vibrant images of Frida Kahlo in every direction. Visiting with Tom recently, I inquired as to what his vision has been over the years for this iconic bar?
