Discover Cabo's Evening Charm

While Cabo San Lucas is often associated with a legendary party scene, that's only one side of the destination after dark.

Stay at Hyatt Vacation Club® at Sirena del Mar and enjoy a relaxing oceanfront retreat within easy reach of the area's many evening experiences. Whether you're interested in waterfront dining, live music, local wine bars, or family-friendly outings, Cabo offers plenty of ways to enjoy the evening beyond the dance floor. Here are a few ways to get a broader taste of the destination's after-dark scene.*

CATCH THE SUNSET

One of Cabo's most memorable evening experiences begins before the sun goes down. Sunset cruises depart nightly from the marina, offering up close views of iconic landmarks like El Arco, Lover's Beach, and Land's End as the evening sky begins to glow with shades of gold, pink, and orange.

Catamaran sailings often include an open bar, appetizers, and lively music, making them an easy and enjoyable way to start the night, while taking in coastal views. Guests of all ages will get a chance to spot sea lions lounging on the rocks, and in the winter, humpback whales can sometimes be seen breaching offshore.

If you'd rather keep your feet on solid ground, Cabo's rooftop bars are another great way to kick off an evening. Those overlooking Medano Beach are perfect spots to catch the golden hour before the night's festivities begin.

For families and craft beer lovers, Baja Brewing Co. is a good option. The brewery's open-air rooftop restaurant serves house-brewed ales in a laid-back atmosphere that's welcoming to all ages. Settle in with a flight of beers, catch live music or the big game, and ease into the evening.

For a more stylish, adults-only experience, The Rooftop 360 pairs handcrafted cocktails with plush lounge seating and sweeping ninth-floor views.

SAMPLE THE LIVE MUSIC

When former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar opened Cabo Wabo Cantina in 1990, he helped turn Cabo San Lucas into a rock 'n' roll destination. It's still one of Cabo's most iconic live music venues, hosting nightly rock bands and drawing fans from around the world. Young rockers are welcome until 10 PM, after which the venue shifts more into a nightclub scene. 

For a different type of rockin' night out, The Jungle Bar is an open-air local favorite that appeals to visitors of all ages, especially those who grew up with the classics. Expect timeless rock hits, blues, and oldies, along with plenty of dancing, sing-alongs, and drink specials. There's also no shortage of live music and nightlife at the nearby marina.

SIP ON LOCAL COCKTAILS AND WINE

As Cabo's culinary scene has evolved, so has its beverage culture. While shots and well drinks are still popular, there are options for travelers looking to slow down and savor what they're sipping, too.

For a quintessential Cabo bar experience, pull up a stool at Cock's Cantina, located between the beach and marina. This lively bar is known for its powerful mezcalitas and margaritas, and it's also famous for its signature Scorpion Shot, served with a dried, edible scorpion for those feeling adventurous. For something more mellow but equally flavorful, Vas Que Vuelas Mezcalería boasts an extensive selection of mezcals sourced from across Mexico. Let the knowledgeable bartenders recommend a sipping mezcal or craft a cocktail that highlights the spirit's smoky, complex flavors.

Wine lovers will find a lot to toast as well. Cabo has become one of the best places to discover Mexican wines, thanks in part to its proximity to Valle de Guadalupe, where most of the country's wine is produced. For an introduction to Baja's acclaimed vintages, The Wine Bar by Romeo y Julieta offers an impressive selection of Mexican labels alongside international favorites, all in an intimate setting perfect for lingering over a glass.

DANCE IF YOU WANT TO

Those interested in experiencing Cabo's iconic nightlife will find many of its popular venues within the lively marina district of downtown Cabo San Lucas. El Squid Roe is a longtime institution known for its energetic atmosphere throughout much of the week, while nearby Mandala and La Vaquita are popular weekend gathering spots.

At El Squid Roe, you'll find multiple levels that transform throughout the evening. Expect colorful décor, upbeat music, and enthusiastic crowds. Before 10 PM, the venue operates more like a lively restaurant and bar, where families with older children can stop by for a meal, a drink, and a taste of Cabo's famous party atmosphere. After 10 PM, the venue is reserved for guests ages 18 and up.

No matter your style, Cabo makes it easy to craft an evening that's uniquely your own, from sunset through last call.
