Norton Rats

Cuzco


Run by a motorcycle enthusiast, this unassuming expat-style bar overlooks the Plaza de Armas. It’s a boon for people-watching, if you can get a balcony seat. Though known for delicious 200g burgers, it’s also got TVs, darts and billiards to help you work up a thirst. Avoid the burritos. Happy hour is 7pm to 9pm.
