across from La Noche and it features state-of-the-art light and sound equipment and Tom of Finland-inspired artwork that provide the perfect backdrop for a night of sexy fun. Industry is located on Lazaro Cardenas St. Inspired by empty warehouses and commercial spaces with low rents transformed by circuit party planners in urban gay destinations during the 70s, Industry is Puerto Vallarta’s brand-new leather-themed dance club.
Like many other bars in town, they feature happy hour specials and live entertainment on specific evenings. Aptly named after the noisy birds you sometimes hear cackling outside our Taste Restaurant, the venue is a self-billed “chatterbox” where you enjoy the company of your friends as you watch people go by. Those looking for a casual afternoon or evening cocktail paired with lively conversation will truly enjoy Chachalaca, half a block from Los Muertos Pier on Francisca Rodriguez St. And for those returning to Vallarta, it’s always fun to see what’s new in town. For first-time visitors-particularly those arriving from smaller towns-the broad variety of venues can even be overwhelming at first. With well over 25 gay bars and nightclubs, all within walking distance from each other and from Casa Cupula, it’s easy to appreciate how Puerto Vallarta has become such a magnet for the LGBT community through the years.
