Nightlife

Because Sucre is crawling with young university students, there are tons of charming bars near Plaza 25 de Mayo, especially on Calle N. Ortiz leading away from the square. I recommend the Joy Ride Café & Bar, Calle N. Ortiz 14 (tel. 0104/6425-544), owned by a Dutch guy and serving good beer and excellent light meals. This is where many gringos spend the evening. Next door, Picadilly (no phone) is another popular bar. If you're looking to dance, there are some great dance clubs here, too. Some of the best are Coyote Rodeo (no phone), Avenida Venezuela at the corner of Avenida Del Maestro; Mitos (no phone), Calle Francisco Cerro at the corner of Calle Loyaza; and Tío Lalo (no phone), Calle San Alberto 680. Note that most everything is eerily quiet during the week; the above bars and clubs, with the exception of Joy Ride, are open only Wednesday through Saturday.
