4 Best Nightlife in Cusco and the Sacred Valley, Peru

For upscale drinks, check out the bar at Limo. While also functioning as a high-end restaurant, the bar here mixes some of the tastiest pisco drinks—in any variation or flavor—around. Not cheap, but if you like pisco sours, don't miss it.

If you only have time for one bar while you're in Cusco, make it this atmospheric spot. Not only does it serve great pisco drinks (you can even get a pisco tasting on the fly), but it also offers tapas if you want to nosh as you drink. There's often live music as well.

The second-floor tavern has a great outdoor balcony overlooking the Plaza de Armas, perfect for enjoying a beer (especially if you want an import) and watching the people go by.

The dark-wood, second-floor Paddy's serves pints of Guinness and old-fashioned Irish pub grub such as Philly cheesesteaks, pita sandwiches, and chicken baguettes.
