Part of the Gay Puerto Vallarta Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco
Tiki-inspired open-air gay bar on Lázaro Cárdenas and Vallarta.
Mr. Flamingo is the open-air corner bar at Lázaro Cárdenas and Ignacio L. Vallarta — the literal crossroads of Puerto Vallarta's gay nightlife and the spot most people name as the unofficial meeting point of the Zona Romántica scene. The design is deliberately simple: an open-front, no-windows corner that spills the party out onto the sidewalk, done up tiki-style with bamboo, neon pink flamingos, and music videos on the screens. It starts mellow in the early evening and flips to full party mode by around 10:30, when the corner gets shoulder-to-shoulder. The crowd skews gay men but is genuinely mixed — tourists, locals, allies, all ages — and the open-air format makes it the natural first stop before the indoor clubs. Cash only, and the daily happy hour is part of the ritual.

Puerto Vallarta's gay resorts sit within a few blocks of each other in the Zona Romántica and on the Amapas hillside above it. Here is what each property's own site says about who it is for, which pools are clothing-optional, what a night costs, and which ones sell day passes, from Almar's beach club to the seven-room men-only Piñata PV.
