EVENING
Revelry
The vibrant nightlife of this Mexican paradise beckons like a siren call. After a day of exploring, embrace the magic of Los Cabos after dark where a new world of excitement emerges under the cover of night.
The Rooftop at The Cape, A Thompson Hotel, comes alive when the sun goes down. This open-air oasis offers sweeping views of El Arco and the twinkling lights of Cabo San Lucas. The ambience is accentuated with sunken seating areas, a warming fire pit, and tranquil water views. The mixologists create handcrafted cocktails and serve up artisanal beers from the local region. Try The Cape, a mixture of basil and mint–infused mezcal, pineapple, lemon, grapefruit, and angostura bitters; a Sunset Spritz made with prosecco, Aperol, St-Germain, and orange; or an Herbal Espresso Martini that combines espresso, Nixta, Żubrówka vodka, and angostura bitters. Appetizers include shrimp popcorn or an heirloom tomato salad. There are also several main courses, but the Rooftop double cheeseburger is always a big hit.
The Mango Deck on Médano Beach, in the heart of Cabo San Lucas, boasts an incredible view of Lover’s Beach and the famous El Arco. Open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, Mango Deck is popular throughout the day but kicks it up a notch after sundown. The true essence of Mango Deck, loved by both locals and visitors, is its vibrant live entertainment. Their roster boasts an eclectic mix: Sundays resonate with the melodies of The Mango Show orchestra, Mondays groove to the RNB Band, Tuesdays serenade with soft rock and beloved tunes from the ’80s, while on Wednesday and Thursday rock takes center stage. Every Friday, you can listen to ’80s and ’90s rock; and a violinist performs on
Saturday nights.
The Baja Brewing Company offers more than just a refreshing pint; it’s an experience. With two prime locations — the rooftop of Cabo Villas Beach Resort at Médano Beach and along the art district in San José del Cabo — it’s no wonder it’s a favorite hangout for visitors and locals alike. Baja Brewing Company serves finely crafted beers and refined pub fare in a casually elegant and fun setting. Popular pours include Cabotella, a German-style lager, and Cactus Wheat, a Bavarian-style Weissbier.
Grupo La Lupita stands out in the Los Cabos dining scene with three exceptional restaurants, each committed to delivering unparalleled culinary experiences. Among them, La Lupita Taco & Mezcal enjoys a prime spot in San José del Cabo’s chic art district. Its ambience, a blend of rustic charm and contemporary style, is particularly evocative. Patrons can savor delectable tacos by day, which take on a special zest as evening falls. And with dusk, the rhythmic beats of the in-house band elevate the atmosphere. The simple taco-focused menu — filled with fish, al pastor, and more — pairs perfectly with a chilled local craft beer or a shot of artisanal mezcal. Regardless of the hour, reservations are highly suggested. Given its popularity, booking in advance is a prudent choice.
Following its success in San José del Cabo, La Lupita introduced a second location on the scenic shores of Médano Beach in Cabo San Lucas. Over the years, its renown has only burgeoned, attributable not just to its exemplary dishes but also its idyllic backdrop. La Lupita Médano Beach has become a top pick for both its prime setting and its vast offerings for private events and catering.
The most recent addition is Umi Sushi & Crudo Bar in San José del Cabo, located in the Paulina Concept House near the original La Lupita Taco & Mezcal restaurant. Offering the best of Japanese traditions and craftsmanship, Chef Yutaro Tsuchiya invites guests to experience a culinary journey where innovative techniques meld seamlessly with authentic flavors.
