Cocktails with local flavor

Peru's bar scene has achieved global recognition thanks to innovative offerings that fuse tradition and the avant-garde. Lady Bee, located in the bohemian district of Barranco, is a benchmark.

Furthermore, the Summum 2024 list recognizes the city's best restaurant bars and lounges, where cocktail making is elevated to an art form. Sastrería Martínez, in Miraflores, and Bottega Dasso, in San Isidro, emerge there as disruptive offerings in flavor and ambiance. And when it comes to rooftops with spectacular views, Ambra, Atmósfera, 27 Tapas, and Celeste stand out, combining exquisite drinks with incredible panoramic views of the city.

Lima's bars also offer a varied menu of exquisitely flavored meals and snacks, which perfectly complement the Peruvian and signature cocktails prepared there.

Night walks that make you fall in love

In addition to exploring these bars, Lima's nightlife is a great place to explore on foot. The Miraflores Malecón, with its views of the Pacific Ocean, and the Parque del Amor, adorned with mosaics and sculptures, are ideal for a romantic and peaceful stroll.

In Barranco, the Bridge of Sighs and its surroundings take on a magical atmosphere at nightfall. With dim lights and music floating in the air, it invites you to lose yourself in its bohemian cobblestone streets. Meanwhile, San Isidro offers the tranquility of a residential district and invites you to take a nighttime stroll through its streets and the charming El Olivar Park.

In short, Lima exudes its identity at night, whether it's its natural contrast between modernity, bohemianism, distinction, and tradition, or its award-winning restaurants, rooftops, and vibrant bars.
