Nightclubs in Lima

Lima's main dancing hot spots are located in Miraflores and Barranco, two focal points of Lima's nightlife. Miraflores is the most visited district in Lima due to its safety, modern amenities, and great nightlife. Barranco is a bit cheaper and has a lot of character.

The area of Chacarilla has also recently gained popularity.  It has the biggest and coolest clubs in the city.

Average prices for a night out in Lima:

  • Beer in bar/club: $1-5 USD
  • Mixed drink in a bar: $2-5 USD
  • Mixed rink in a club: $4-10 USD
  • Bottle of wine: $10+ USD
  • Cover charge: Many places don't have cover. If they do, expect between $3 to $9 USD (10-30 Soles).

Best Clubs in Lima:

  • Gotica: Located in Miraflores, Gotica has a sophisticated vibe perfect for fashionistas.
  • La noche: The best place to enjoy live music in Lima in a small, cozy venue in Barranco.
  • Bizarro: Best house music with featured DJs on Thursdays.
  • MIA: High-tech club with a fantastic terrace in the center of Chacarilla. This is the place to be seen.
