I have to share my two cents on Vallarta and let you know where to go and where to stay ay from. You will figure it out for yourself when you are there. For sure you will love Manana's and probably run away fast from Paco' Ranch. Lucky for you, Manana's is only about a 2 minute walk down the... More

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..... only way I can say it. What a boring place. Small, smelly, dirty. Straight waiters with attitudes and the worst mixed drinks I have had. My guess is that they put water in the drinks. More

This place is where the term "dive" came from. What a waste of my time. I was there 5 minutes and got approached some ugly tranny. It's like a place for ugly prostitutes in drag hang out if that's your thing. More

It just went from bad to worse when they moved from the first building where they had a 3 story building and a rooftop patio. Now things are crammed in a tiny little club with the worst drag shows you have ever seen. When you walk by this place, just keeping walking. More

I'm telling you Club Paco is where the locals go and this is the place if you want to enjoy the local culture. It is very busy. This is the one gay dance bar that hasn't ripped me off in Vallarta. The drinks are strong and they are priced appropriately. The music is good and the staff is friendly. The... More

Same 30 local people drinking draft beer directly from their pitcher night after night, same drag show for years, tiny place with no AC, dance floor smaller than my bathroom, got sick from drinking from their glasses. Tiny drinks in tiny glasses. Boring and low class. More

I am a 20 year resident of Vallarta and have watched and enjoyed the metamorphosis from a small cantina to a hot disco. Constantly changing but always maintaining it's Mexican heritage. The new location is fresh, appealing and busy. More

I live in Puerto Vallarta and enjoy many nights at Paco's Ranch. The new location has wood bars, steel railings a wrap around balcony that lets you hang out and relax if you don't chose to dance. The staff has always been friendly and it really is a place that the local gay community likes to hang out. Some week... More

The new Paco's Ranch location at 237 Ignacio Vallarta (just across the street and north a few doors near Liquid Men/Roxy) is great. You can really understand why they moved once you step inside. This was a great decision! The new place was very busy on all three nights I was there with mostly Mexican guys and a good mix... More

Paco Paco used to be the most popular gay club in Puerto Vallarta. On my two last visits, no one was there 90% of the time, people go only for the drag shows, which don't interest me. Without people you notice how small it really is and how low the ceilings are and how generally ugly and claustrophobic it is.... More
