Description:
La Playa Bar bills itself as a "sports bar" and you can be assured that on days of important football (soccer) matches or other sporting events, the duo of flat screen TVs will be tuned in and turned up. On other nights, the televisions are on mute with the music turned up and the crowd ready for fun. The fully stocked bar is competitively priced and the bartenders will remember your drink order on the second night.
Many locals, both expatriates and Mexicans, claim La Playa as their regular hangout spot and will stake claim to the couch corner or bar to hold court with friends coming in and out. It's a lively and friendly crowd where you'll be able to make connections for surf trips, scuba lessons, fishing trips, other nightspots and beach bumming.
