Starting Point and Meeting Details

The tour kicks off at 10:00 PM outside Sky Mandala Bar on the corner of Morelos and Abasolos, in downtown Puerto Vallarta. The meeting spot is straightforward, but note that you’ll want to arrive promptly and look for your guide—wearing a recognizable black or white t-shirt with a pink or white star that says Vallartacrawl or Rockstarcrawls. No need to go inside beforehand; just wait outside and get ready to start the night.

What to Expect from the Itinerary

Once gathered, your guide will lead you into the heart of Puerto Vallarta’s nightlife, starting with two of the premier clubs in town. These venues, like Mandala Nightclub or La Vaquita, are known for their lively music, energetic crowds, and bustling dance floors. The tour emphasizes VIP treatment, with your guide securing skip-the-line entry and reserved tables, meaning you won’t spend time waiting around or fighting for space.

The All-You-Can-Drink Offer

For four hours, you’ll enjoy unlimited domestic beer, vodka, rum, tequila, and cocktails made with these spirits, until 2:00 AM. This is a significant benefit, especially given that cover charges and drinks are included, making the tour a cost-effective way to experience Puerto Vallarta’s nightlife without breaking the bank. However, reviews note that some drinks can be watered down, yet many still appreciated the endless tequila shots—a staple in Mexico’s lively drinking culture.

One reviewer mentioned that their guide “got the clubs to roll out the red carpet” for their birthday, which speaks to the personalized attention and energetic vibe. Guides are typically bilingual (Spanish and English), adding to the ease of communication and local insight.

The Venue Selection

While the tour is advertised as visiting 4 clubs, some travelers have expressed disappointment that only 2 venues were actually visited.

Still, the venues chosen tend to be top-tier in Puerto Vallarta’s scene, providing a vibrant and authentic nightlife experience.

Additional Perks

Apart from drinks and VIP access, some venues offer bottle service, which elevates the night to a more luxurious level. Your guide will also handle cover charges and ensure your group is seated comfortably, so you can focus on enjoying the music and company. Remember, tips for waiters and the guide are not included but are customary—you should plan to tip around $5 for the staff and an extra tip for your guide if they’ve gone above and beyond.
