After dinner, we took a stroll around town, nearby our hotel. Wasn't quite feeling clubbing on calle Lázaro Cardenas. We peaked inside this hole-the-wall bar. Martini and cocktails signage caught our eye and so we stayed. Two or so hours, three dirty martinis, tequila shot and a glass of mineral water later, we found our new small spot. All staff were welcoming and friendly. Chairs and tables were available. The ceiling fans were on full blast. Lots of action inside and outside bar. It appeared patrons that came to Apaches were more on the mature and calmer side. Not so obnoxious as with other nearby bars. Special thank you shout out to Daniel, our server. We also had the pleasure of meeting co-owner Ricardo....personable, fun-loving and welcoming. Overall, we had a great time! We plan to return to Apaches on our next visit to Vallarta Hi guys, Madonna says hola (from San Diego) read more

So I was walking down the street and I noticed this bar called Apache's. It's a really cute little bar with outside and indoor seating. The design inside is amazing, and the atmosphere is great. It's fun and colorful. The guy who was working was amazing. I had a great conversation with him, and they also have a great happy hour. The drinks were good. I had a blast. The music was great. Overall, I had an amazing time there. That was my last night in Puerto Vallarta. read more

I ended up at Apaches for happy hour a couple of times during my most recent visit to PV. I'd been there on previous visits with my brother, and he wanted to go back since he knows people who frequent the bar. The staff is cool and the regulars are friendly, but I've never been fond of the drinks. The ones I've had just haven't been all that great. However, that's just me... my brother and several friends love the place. Apaches offers a great atmosphere, friendly service, and affordable prices. My brother did taste one of my drinks, though, and frowned. He agreed that it wasn't very good. One night the bartender did bring us out free shots, which was very nice of him. The shot was the best thing I had there! The location is small on the inside, but we've always sat outside anyway. It's a great way to people-watch and just soak up the sun. Obviously, the bar caters to the LGBTQIA community, but as a straight female, it's always felt inclusive to me. read more

Cheap place for happy hours cocktails. We happened to walk by and ended up stopping for a drink. Drinks were great and really cheap. Good vibe with the outdoor seating as it's next doors to other shops. Cheap drinks for happy hours if you're looking for a fun time. read more

Service was very friendly and the atmosphere was great! My partner and I both had the original martini with gin, definitely recommend!

Small sidewalk bar, with limited seating inside and out favorite bar with the best prices and strong drinks. Maybe too strong, you got to watch yourself or before you know it it is drunk city. We have always met interesting locals while visiting here and that just makes the experience more fun. It seems there is a little less space then I remember a few years ago so need to get there early. It is our first stop when we visit PV. Great happy hour prices but the regular price is only about 3 American dollars for a martini. read more

Very small, cute, happy hour place! Cheap happy hour, drinks are adequate and strong. I had a frozen passion fruit margarita and it was only $2 usd. I wanted to make it back to this place to sit in their window or outdoor seating just to sip and people watch. Bartender was pleasant and very helpful. Just a bar I didn't see anything to eat on this place. read more

We love Apaches Martini Bar. It is small, but there are usually seats at a table if you are willing to sit with others. This place has steady regulars who are fun to meet. The drinks are good and we think cheaper than other places around the area. read more

Super cheap drinks, good company, and the owners are great guys. I would recommend stopping by.

We come here every time we are in town. Great prices on martinis. Hole in the wall bar with outdoor patio right in the heart of the Romantica Zone. Many expat retirees here, great vibe. read more

We had a terrible experience here. The owner was wasted and kept inappropriately grabbing my two male friends. My friend felt uncomfortable that his drink came out separately and asked for a new one, and after a weird amount of push back the owner finally took it and got him a new one. Then when we decided to leave they charged us $12 per shot AND charged us for the one that the owner drank. Seeing the other reviews saying they paid $2 a drink pisses me off because they clearly overcharged us because we didn't let the owner get what he wanted and when we questioned them about the prices they got really rude and aggressive. The owner and bartender were deceitful here and I would recommend going somewhere else. read more

There is two Apache's right here but they are part of the same business. The bar side is open Sundays but the bistro closes sundays. The bar is where I went was the bar and it was nice. The drinks were strong and the staff were nice. For my minimal Spanish and their plentiful English ordering was easy. I ended up getting a few drinks and a few sides of fries and the fries were on point. small but super crispy and fresh. good flavor. id go back again for fries and cocktails =) read more

Absolutely love this little bar on Olas Altas - just one block inland from the beach. They have tables inside and out - but you'll definitely want to be out. Everyone shares tables and become friends here. It's definitely the Cheers of Vallarta! I had the pleasure of becoming dear friends with one of the owners, Geoff. He and his partner Ricardo mingle with customers and make sure everyone is having the best time. Drinks are strong and affordable. Alejandra, Sebastián, and Abraham will take the best care of you! While they don't serve food (apaches Bistro is a separate business), you can get takeout from a few restaurants nearby. Happy hour during the winter is 5-7pm and half priced martinis (6-8 during summer). Come for happy hour and stay until closing! read more

Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers don't know where the caterers keep the undiluted stuff... it's at Apaches.

Best Margaritas in town! Especially fond of the frozen mango with tajin! I will miss those until I return to PV. Great vibe! Great staff! read more

A must go for HH (5-7 PM winter ; 6-8 PM summer.) It's a loud sidewalk cafe with playful plentiful cocktails 2x1, allowing its patrons --think touristy spring break for young at heart happy people & their pooches--the opportunity to party like it's 1999. Speaking of pooches, if you don't air kiss a dawg of an ex, at least one ex during HH, then that dawg, heart broken, has moved to Daytona Beach. Everyone else is here, high fiving, table hopping. There's piped in music & then a live band plays questionable jazz covers like "Oye, ?Como Va?" After downing multiple "Tequila Surprises:" Patrón, fresh lime juice, a sea salt rim, yo iba yendo muy bien, thank you. I remained in an upright position till Air Apache taxied to the arrival gate somewhere on Olas Altas--tightly sandwiched next to-hey, where else ?--!Andale! Prompting me to recall my college days Vallarta diet of Jell-O shots & street tacos & leaving behind a trail of heart-broken exes. read more

This place is very busy in the late afternoons. The crowd is very friendly and don't be afraid to share a table with a group of strangers? I love martinis and it's hard to find a great one in PV. This place makes a great martinis for a reasonable price. The service here is excellent and friendly read more

What a gem in PV! Everything about this spot is a hit. I was immediately a lifelong fan after the tamarind margaritas made by the lovely Alejandra, so kept coming back. The owners Jeff and Ricardo make all feel welcome in their hot spot, especially the open-minded! Pondering a move here and the hospitality at Apache's has made an impression I won't forget. Gracias! read more

Great place! Literally in the center of all the action.... Strong drinks and lots of friendly folks all sharing tables. Always guaranteed to meet some great people if you pass some time here...... Looking back I owe Apache's for a few lasting friendships! read more

Amazing friendly bar. Sit on the street and have great, cheap drinks. A wonderful place to see the city.

We came to this bar 10years ago and met the two ladies who owned the place. She came out and did shots with us until like 3am. We have been back and met the new owners Jeff and Renee and they are just as friendly. Every night we go for happy hour and you get to know the regulars. It's like the Cheers of Pv. read more

Apaches is a must-stop by bar when vacationing in PV. The cocktails are tasty, the crowd friendly and the people watching on the street is always entertaining. During a recent trip to PV, Abraham provided excellent service from taking our temperatures, sanitizing tables & seating, taking our order, and making & serving our cocktails. He's a one-man bar coordinator! Thanks Abraham - we appreciate you taking good care of us. read more

Wonderful neighborhood bar with welcoming owners and staff. Fantastic Happy Hour until 7 pm. Highly recommend Apaches!

This bar rocks! I heard nothing but good things, so my boyfriend and I swung by for happy hour to check it out. This is the first place we were carded after a week in Mexico, so just a heads up to ensure your ID is on you. They have 2x1 martinis (and other cocktails) during their 5-7pm happy hour. The drinks were tasty, the people inside were fun, and the prices were the best we found our entire time in PV. We got 4 drinks and our final bill was about 100 pesos. This gay-friendly, Canadian-friendly bar is a must-visit if you're staying in Zona Romantica. read more

Great local gay dive bar. We usually come here for a drink during happy hour before dinner. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Good food and great drinks. All the staff is friendly and funny. Regulars are cool and it's great people watching on the street.

Amazing happy hour drinks with unique flavors offerings! Very friendly, fun and welcoming!

Stumbled into Apache's by chance when the restaurant we intended to go to was closed. I didn't expect much from looking at the menu, but our food was really good. I had the filet mignon in pepper sauce and it was delicious. My daughter had a Greek salad that she said was good, too. Large portions, small bill. I would definitely go back. read more

Love the bar. I meet Endra in 2010 after I got layoff from work and went down to PV for a week by myself and she made me feel right at home. Every night I would stop by and have a drink with her and have her tell me where to eat that night. She made my week. I stop by every year in November since 2010 and have a drink and visit with her. Her staff is wonderful and they all make you part of their family. Thank you all for another wonderful time in Puerto Vallarta this November 2015. John read more

This bar and restaurant are amazing. Geoff makes everyone feel welcome and at home on the bar side and Andre serves up some amazing meals on the bistro side. The bartenders and wait staff are so friendly. You will have a great time if you stop there. read more

So... The location on Yelp as of this note is wrong. This establishment is in Old Town... and it is terrific! Two for one drinks tonight and they are good healthy strong ones ;). Right next door to Andale. Nice relaxed atmosphere. People watching is great. We'll return soon. read more

Love this little bar. It's small and has both inside and on the sidewalk seating. It's best to get an outside table and watch the world walk by. Since their isn't a lot of seating you will get to meet other travelers, which to me is one of the best things about traveling. The drinks are great and the staff is always friendly. read more
