Cabo Nightlife Every Night of the Week: Where to Go Monday Through Sunday
A night-by-night plan for Cabo nightlife: which bars and restaurants are open, which are closed Monday, and where to find late drinks all seven nights of the week.
Isabella· Cabo Editorial Team3 min read
Cabo nightlife is not the same on a Monday as it is on a Saturday, and the hours matter more than the hype. Some of our favorite rooms are closed Monday. A few stay open until 1am. Most are done by 10:30. So here is the week the way we would actually spend it, one night at a time, built from real opening hours.
Monday: stay in Cabo San Lucas
Monday is the night San José goes quiet. La Lupita and Flora Farms are closed, and so is Casa Martín. Stay in town.
Cabo Wabo Cantina
Open 9am to 11pm every day on Vicente Guerrero. $$, a 4.3 from more than 6,250 reviews, with live music and dancing. The most reliable Monday in town.
Outpost
On Blvd. Paseo de la Marina, open 8am to 1am daily. $$, a 4.6 from about 1,140 reviews, with rooftop seating, a wine list and good cocktails. When everything else has closed, this is still pouring.
Tuesday: San José del Cabo
La Lupita Taco & Mezcal
Back open Tuesday, noon to 10:30pm, on José María Morelos. $$, a 4.6 from around 2,200 reviews. Mezcal, tacos, live music and a rooftop.
Don Sanchez Restaurant
On Blvd. Antonio Mijares, open 5pm to 10pm. Mexican, $$, a 4.6 from about 565 reviews, with live music and a serious wine list. The grown-up end of a San José night.
Wednesday: rooftop and noodles
Metate Cabo
In El Tezal, open 2pm to 10pm. Mexican, $$$, a 4.5 from close to a thousand reviews, with rooftop seating. Go for sunset and stay for dinner.
Chubby Noodle Cabo
Pan-Asian downtown, open 1pm to 11pm, $$, a 4.6 from around 925 reviews. Small plates and good cocktails, and a kitchen that runs later than most.
Thursday: the late dinner
RosaNegra Latin American Cuisine
At km 7.3 on the Corridor, open 5pm to 1am. $$$, live music and rooftop seating. Reviews are split, a 4.2 from about 760, which usually means it is a scene and you either want that or you do not. It is one of the few dinner rooms that goes past midnight.
Bar Esquina
On Avenida del Pescador near Medano, open 8am to 11pm. $$$, a 4.5 from around 540 reviews, with live music and a good cocktail list. A calmer Thursday.
Friday: dress up, then go late
El Farallon
Cliffside on Camino del Mar, open 3pm to 11pm. Fine dining, $$$$, a 4.5 from close to a thousand reviews, with late-night food on the menu. Book ahead. Then head to Outpost, which is open until 1am.
Il Forno
If you want Friday without the bill, Il Forno on Paseo del Pescador is Italian, $$, open 4:30pm to 11pm, with a 4.6 from about 740 reviews.
Saturday: Medano Beach
Mango Deck
The party everyone has heard about. Open 8am to 10pm on Playa El Medano, $$, a 4.4 from roughly 6,200 reviews. Bar games, live music, dancing. It closes at 10, so start in the afternoon.
SUR Beach Club
The calmer beach club, open 8:30am to 10:30pm. $$, a 4.6 from about 1,065 reviews, with live music and a wine list. Take a daybed before sunset and stay.
The Office
Tables in the sand, open 7am to 10pm, $$$, a 4.3 from over 5,300 reviews. Dinner that turns into drinks.
Sunday: slow it down
Acre Restaurant
In San José, with Sunday dinner from 5pm to 10pm after a 10am to 2pm brunch. Farm-to-table, $$$, a 4.6 from about 1,625 reviews. Fireplace, live music, cocktails.
Romeo & Julieta
On the Marina boulevard, open 2pm to 10pm on Sunday. Italian, $$, a 4.6 from nearly 1,400 reviews, with live music.
Casa Martín Restaurante
Sunday dinner runs 5pm to 9pm. Mexican, $$, and a 4.9 from almost 500 reviews, the highest rating on this list.
Before you go
- Budget. A night out with drinks, covers and late snacks runs about $100 to $300 or more per person, depending on the venue.
- Transport. Pre-book your ride or confirm the taxi price before you get in, especially late.
- Reservations. Book the popular rooms in peak season, November through April. March is the busiest month because of Spring Break.
- Cash and water. Carry small pesos for tips, and drink water between rounds. It is a desert.
Seven nights, no repeats, and nothing that was closed when you got there. See every room on our Cabo restaurants page.
