TIJUANA

Drinking age 18. 15 minute drive south from downtown San Diego, for a small and very touristy taste of Mexico. (Check your car rental agreement for insurance restrictions first or better yet, just park at the border and walk across.) It boasts a pretty lively gay scene, with numerous bars, including weekend hot spots:

 

CLUB EXTASIS (Viva Tijuana Shopping Center), one of the newest and nicest dance club with go-go boys and European style backroom, just a hop skip and jump across the U.S.-Mexico border; open Thur to Sun; Thur is lesbian night.

 

BAR CAGUMAMAS, the more laid-back sister to Extasis right next door

 

BOBI’S a dark, hacienda-style cantina popular with middle-class Mexicans (Avenida Madero near First Avenue) not far from Extasis for an adventure take a TJ cab ride!

LOS EQUIPALES a large disco and sister bar to Mike’s (and very similar) but not too popular with the American boys; 7th Street just east of Avenida Revolucion.

 

MIKE’S DISCO this is a longtime venue of TJ’s gay nightlife and a good place to dance to Spanish and English pop songs; well known as an excellent place to see a drag show; Eastside of Avenida Revolucion near 6th street.

 

NOA NOA a disco that attracts lots of young, but less well-to-do Mexicans who like to dance; on the eastside of Avenue D just north of 1st Street.

 

PLANET G a stylish new video bar in the bustling Avenida Revolucion area; pool tables, art gallery featuring works of local gay artists; eastside of Avendia Revolucion between 9th & 10th streets.

 

TERRAZA a disco& show bar mostly for locals; north side of 6th street just west of Avenida Revolucion, very close to Mike’s Disco.
