The most sophisticated lounge in Vallarta is set in the elegant eatery, Café des Artistes. It's become a popular option for those looking for a lively yet sophisticated setting for after-dinner drinks. The plush sofas are welcoming, and the list of champagnes by the glass, signature martinis, and specialty drinks is suitably tempting. Live jazz and blues in an intimate atmosphere are drawing crowds, as are regular wine tastings. An ample appetizer and dessert menu make it appropriate for late-night dining and drinks. Open daily from 6pm to 1am.
