La Bodeguita del Centro

Top choice in Guatemala City


There's a hopping, creative local scene in Guatemala City, and this large, bohemian hangout is one of the best places to connect with it. There's live music of some kind almost every night from Thursday to Saturday, usually starting at 9pm, plus occasional poetry readings, films or forums.

Posters featuring the likes of Che, Marley, Lennon, Victor Jara, Van Gogh and Pablo Neruda cover the walls from floor to ceiling. Entry is usually free Tuesday to Thursday, with a charge of Q25 to Q60 on Friday and Saturday nights; food and drinks are served.
