Lima Gay-Friendly Nightlife

Description:

This high-energy dance club is similar to Aura, but has a slightly different crowd and music tempo. The best DJ's in Peru and many international ones spin here. The music is more electronic based and a somewhat edgy crowd frequents the disco until the early morning. The dance floor tends to be crowded, but the many bars give you easy access to drinks. Gotika also has the same beautiful Pacific view from their patio as Aura. When you need a break from dancing this is a relaxing and pristine place to sit.

A top choice if you're up for keeping the party going from the late night to the early morning.

Description:

Not 18 anymore, but still love to dance. The thirtyish crowd gathers here late at night for good dancing and party until early hours of the morning. The beats are good and atmosphere hip and sophisticated.

Description:

A classy GLBT-friendly place in the upperscale district of Miraflores, that has built itself a good reputation since 2004. It's not too big, though (it has place for some 350 guests), so you need to arrive there early, specially on weekends, if you don't want to wait in line outside. The decoration is definitely queer style, and the barmen are usually cute guys.

Our Local Expert Says:

Spectacular light effects.
