Come on out and experience a Lucha Libre SMACK DOWN in Playa del Carmen.
Lucha Libre which means, Free Wrestling or Free Fighting, is the professional wrestling performed in Mexico and other Latin American countries. Starting as early as the 1900s it was mainly a regional trend until Salvador Lutteroth brought wrestlers from the United States into Mexico in the 1930s, giving the sport national recognition for the first time.

Check out our new bar and nightlife guide for Playa del Carmen!
We have compiled a list with 9 categories and 61 individual bar and nightclub listings. We have included the name of the bar or club, a brief description, location,
and phone number, when available. We did not include hours and days of
operation due to the fact that nealry all of the local area bars are open all of the time! We suggest you call and find out hours and days if you so desire. These are not REVIEWS as we have not visited all of the bars or clubs that are listed, but rather a guide to enable you to
choose from a large variety of party options. It is a work in progress so we
will be adding more listings as we go, and if we missed your favorite spot send us the information and we will be happy to add it.

El Pirata to Celebrate 20 Years in Playa del Carmen
Thursday, 16 November 2006
El Pirata, one of the oldest bars in Playa del Carmen, is going to have one heck of a party!
El Pirata, which is located right on the beach between 10th and 12th Street next to Blue Parrot, has survived multiple hurricanes, major development, and changes in the local market, and it is stll going strong after 20 years. If that isn't enough reason to celebrate 20 years in Playa del Carmen then I am not sure what is. With a swing bar, laid back attitiude, and jamming reggae tunes El Pirata is a absolute favorite among visitors and locals alike. So come on down and join the celebration......
With parties at Tequila Barrel, The Blue Parrot, and Bar Ranita reverent party goers poured out onto the streets. Skeletons, skunks, beauty queens, and The Absolutely Fabulous duo, Edina and Patsy, were all in attendance making Halloween 2006 a night to remember! Check out the photos below!
What to do and where to go on Halloween, and Day of the Dead, in Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya.
The Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, is an ancient Aztec celebration of the memory of our ancestors that have passed onto the spiritual world. It is celebrated on November 1st, All Saints' Day, and November 2nd, All Souls' Day. The holiday is especially popular here in Mexico where it is a national holiday, but it is also celebrated in the Philippines, and to some extent in other Latin American countries. Brazil celebrates Dia de los Muertos as a public holiday where many Brazilians celebrate it by visiting cemeteries and churches, bringing flowers, lighting candles and praying.
Playasia celebrated one year with one heck of a party!
Origianlly Pancho's, then Frida Bar, Playasia is the newset additon to the Blue Parrot family. Owners Tom Doody, and Pamela Robins, celebrated in style and were gracious hosts as hundreds of guests arrived to join in the celebration. An open bar, endless sushi, and delicious canapes ensured that the guests enjoyed themselves and had a night to remember. So here is to next year's celebration; we will certainly be attending!
Playa del Carmen partied the night away celebrating Independence Day!
Local Playenses and tourists visiting the Rivera Maya flocked to the zocalo in downtown Playa del Carmen to participate in the annual El Grito. As 11:00 PM approached on Friday evening noise makers blasted and people got ready to yell Viva Mexico! The town exploded at 11:00 PM as the governor addressed the masses, and you could hear Viva Mexico! echoing through the streets. As the sky lit up with fireworks happy party goers were in a celebratory mood; bars and nightclubs were packed as people celebrated into the wee hours.....
