La Santanera
5th Avenue and 10th Street | $$$ | Website
If you're looking for "the" place to go, La Santanera is where you'll find all the locals. Located almost directly in front of Playa Del Carmens Coco Bongo, La Santanera features mixed dance musique that you probably won't hear on the radio. The open air concept makes it a great place to cool down after dancing elsewhere.

(Playa Del Carmen - Nightlife)
Where locals head after-hours in Playa Del Carmen
If you want to know where to find most of the locals after hours, La Santanera is the place. The bar is located across from Coco Bongo and features two floors. The top floor has high ceilings which I love because it can get packed up there, cool air flow is key for me. You won’t get much dancing up there but no worries, La Santanera has a closed in dance floor on the second level. Head to the far back right side upon entering is you want to hit the dance floor. I’d love to tell you more about it but at this point most of my memories go blank….I think the 20 beers and tequila shots had something to do with it.
I used to like going to La Santanera but grew tired of paying the insanely expensive cover charge of 400 pesos ($32.47 US) Most locals (beautiful girls) will get in for free, as they should, and if you’re a well known regular with a good contact you’ll also get in for free. But that’s standard in the bar world, maybe in life too lol, it’s who you know right?
You won’t find much commercial music playing at La Satanera. You can one of my previous stories (Mexican entrepreneurs aim for another win with Canibal Royal) where I interviewed the owners who said that this is what separated them from the other clubs. They wanted to focus on the locals and it’s clearly paid off. If you like the look and feel of this club, check out other businesses by the same owners (Diablito Cha Cha Cha review, Canibal Royal review, Los Aguachiles review and HD video)
