LookOut Bar, Puerto Vallarta

About LookOut Bar

LookOut is a gay rooftop bar perched atop a hillside villa in Amapas, the steep residential pocket just above the Zona Romántica, with a small illuminated pool and panoramic views across Banderas Bay and down to the port. It's run by Gay Villas Puerto Vallarta, and the setting, open-air and high above the beach, makes it a sunset cocktail spot more than a late-night club. The drink list runs wide, from custom cocktails to margaritas and mezcal, with bar snacks to go alongside. The mood is unhurried and conversational; the bay does the heavy lifting, and the crowd settles in to watch the light change over the water. The bar hosts drag and live music on rotation, so some evenings come with a show, but the everyday draw is the view and a slow drink with company. For travelers staying in Old Town, it's an easy climb for one of the better elevated vantage points over the bay, and a quieter alternative to the louder rooftops down on the strip.
