Arequipa Nightlife
Don’t let the tranquil plazas and sleepy streets fool you—just beneath the laid-back surface of Arequipa is a nightlife as rockin’ as, well, the quivering quakes of El Misti. The pisco-fueled parties run late into the night and come complete with that certain Latin American flair (read: lots of dancing).
The sizable student population of Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa has created an energetic nightlife scene in Arequipa—one that the buzzing backpacker community only adds to. Intimate bars and raucous dance clubs abound, as do a select number of more sophisticated options.
The majority of Arequipa bars and clubs are clustered around the Historic District and the Plaza de Armas—making for a convenient stumble back to the hotel! San Francisco Street is an epicenter of entertainment, with a bar or club on nearly every block. Those who like it a little down and dirty, and a lot more authentico, should head to the locals spots along Dolores Avenue. Those seeking a more upscale experience should make their way to the sleek clubs of Avenida del Ejército.
If music is on your agenda, make sure not to miss Arequipa’s rockin’ bars and venues. Boulevard Café showcases local indie acts with no cover charge, while La Troica provides Latin, Afro-Peruvian and folklorica music. Forum Rock Café is full of guts and glory; meanwhile the dance parties get going at Kibosch. Serious drinkers should be sure to sample the creative creations at Déjà Vu.
Of course, every city on the planet has to have an Irish pub and now, a karaoke bar; Arequipa is no exception. Farren’s Irish Pub serves up happy hour pints at great prices, while Dady'o Disco Pub & Karaoke features go-go dancing and live bands in addition to DIY crooning.
