Part of the Gay Puerto Vallarta Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco
Gay piano and jazz lounge on Pulpito with a two-page martini menu.
Garbo is a gay piano and jazz lounge on Púlpito Street, at the south end of the Zona Romántica a couple of blocks back from the beach. Open since 2002, it's built for listening rather than dancing: a small, dimly lit, air-conditioned room where live music, jazz, Latin numbers, Broadway tunes, and classic standards, runs nightly through the high season and on a lighter schedule in the off months, with sets typically starting late in the evening. It's long been known for its martinis. The register here is grown-up and conversational, a place to actually hear the person across the table, the kind of warm-up or wind-down spot that suits an evening before or after the louder bars nearby. Travelers who've had their fill of dance floors tend to find it a welcome change of pace, and it draws a mixed crowd of visitors and regulars who come for the music.

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.
