Mexicali is not as outstanding as Tijuana when it comes to wild parties. Nevertheless, you can have a great evening with your family, friends or even by yourself, for its inhabitants (Cachanillas as they like to be called) are nationally famous for their great hospitality. You shouldn't find any trouble in making friends and have an excellent night out in Mexicali!
To have fun at night there are lots of cultural displays, indie rock concerts and poetry readings, to be enjoyed in a variety of settings, from offbeat bars, shopping malls (in the parking area, also) and even local breweries (yes, you can have some beer while more beer is being made right before your eyes!).
Blu
This recently opened nightclub has quickly become among one of the most exclusive of the city. Its innovative electronic lounge concept has made it unique in its class as well as one of the most frequented in Mexicali.
La Cucaracha (The Cockroach)
La Cucaracha is a great place for a couple of beers (or more) until the wee hours of the morning. On their giant screen you can watch the best Mexican soccer goals, the highlights of the Super bowl or an exciting basketball match. Try their scrumptious snacks and Mexicali's local beer, simply the best!
Metro
Metro is without a doubt the most fashionable and most frequented club of Mexicali's younger crowd. You can listen to the best in music on a daily basis here, hand-picked by the house DJ. If you're in for a visit, the Metro is one stop you have to make.
UNI Irish Pub
"Meeting and making friends" is the motto at this Irish-style bar. Listen to the greatest UK rock and pop while having a cold beer or a fancy cocktail prepared by our experienced barman. The friendliest and nicest people of Mexicali frequent UNI, you're the only one missing! We're looking forward to welcoming you.
La Tabla 
La Tabla is for those who have nostalgia for the sixties and seventies and rather than enjoying the latest pop hits, they suffer them. La Tabla features a selection of live and recorded music that ranges from Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix and Creedence, to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Queen. Come and have fun and a few drinks with your friends.
El Jacalito
A small but pleasant cantina where you can get drinks by the liter such as the "caguama" (a forty-style beer) and the "Chabelota", where heart rendering Spanish 80s music floats out from the juke box, pulling the heart strings of the sad and the woeful, who join chorus with doleful dedication. Definitely an experience that is worth having.
Red Lion
A sports bar where you can enjoy a cold beer and the televised viewing of your favorite sport, Red Lion offers a young and enthusiastic atmosphere. The music is pumping and the bar snacks are excellent.
Velouria
Velouria has a completely different concept from traditional bars, for it is oriented towards the expression of ideas through whatever means necessary. At Velouria you can hear or talk about culture, while listening to great music. The concept is definitely not about the banalities of life, but about people who want to learn more and who want to meet other interesting people. One of the most innovative ideas, of Velouria, is that visitors program their own music selection. Bring your iPod with 30 minutes of your favorite songs and register at the entrance with our DJ.
