Nightlife:The two main areas for going out are in Sopocachi, especially around Plaza Avaroa, and the streets around Plaza San Francisco. The former attracts a more local, residential crowd while the latter is the preferred traveller hang-out. Friday is the big night out in La Paz with bars open into the early hours and most places only getting going after 2300; weekdays are quiet but better for an intimate drink.
Mongo’s, Calle Hermanos Manchego 2444, in Sopocachi, is the city’s main expat hang out with a late bar and dancefloor for fraternizing with the locals. In the same area,
The Lounge, Calle Presbitero Medina 2527, is a funky, arty café bar with snacks, cocktails and a more refined vibe, and
RamJam, Calle Presbitero Medina 2421, is the place for cocktails and dinner early in the evening, dancing and drinking after midnight make this the current hot spot in town. In the San Francisco district, candlelight and occasional live music make

La Luna, Calle Oruro 197, is the last place to close in town and this is where you’ll find those seeking to continue the fiesta into the early hours.
