La Noche is a gay bar in Puerto Vallarta's Zona Romántica, in the Mexican state of Jalisco. The bar has donated to SETAC, an LGBT center in Puerto Vallarta.[1] Drag queen Super Wendy performed at the bar nightly, as of 2017.[2]

Description

The bar hosts drag shows and has a rooftop, which Out Daniel Reynolds said was the "easiest place on the block to grab fresh air and mingle with other patrons".[3] Amy Ashenden of PinkNews said: "La Noche also has regular drag shows and male dancers on podiums – although it isn't exclusively for men like Wet Dreams is."[4] Iñigo Alkorta of Vallarta Lifestyles said, "La Noche, a lounge and rooftop bar with two atmospheres, either for dancing or chatting on its intimate terrace."[5] In 2021, Hornet's Jorge Gallegos wrote: "La Noche Bar is the ultimate gay lounge: nice cocktails, entertaining drag shows, hot go-go boys, several levels and a beautiful rooftop garden. Make it your first stop after dinner."[6] Ed Walsh of the Bay Area Reporter says the bar is "busier earlier in the evening".[7]
