Faro Lighthouse Bar (El), Marina Vallarta

High above the lights of Puerto Vallarta, this landmark bar in a 110-foot tall tower attracts couples and sunset lovers. Live jazz and easy listening music serenades the clientele, which tends to be thirty-ish and older. Many patrons from the Royal Pacific Yacht Club and adjacent marina come nightly to enjoy this vantage point. The staff is well trained; the bar offers an extensive selection of brands and a decent wine list. The bar is jammed at sunset, and most patrons are in resort-casual attire.
