if you are either naturally flirtatious, or like me cleverly brought my own girl, this place is a blast. My significant other and I aren't particularly into dancing but the atmosphere was pretty infectious if you are at all looking to have a good time and aren't a vulcan or against really loud r&b music. Although probably half the fun for most of the people there is trying to hook up, it was also hell of fun being able to feel up my own girl on the floor and know I wasn't going to get hit with a date rape charge later. Somehow, perhaps just the crappy decor, this place also has a vibe that I found to be not too pretentious. I mean it's cheesy and touristy but in a honest and down to earth way, it doesn't feel designed by Hollywood, it feels like it was made by real drunk Mexicans. 

P.S.  I definitely had a hangover, I have a feeling the cheap, crappy mandatory shots have a lot to do wit hit. I have had much worse hangovers though. Not too awful... By the way, I went on a Tuesday night, I'm really not that much of a party person and although I went by on Saturday it was just too intense. Even on Tuesday it was totally packed and when we stumbled out to go get it on at 4am it was still going strong, but there weren't very long lines to get to the bars or the bathrooms or get in, which was nice.

Excellent food and drinks. Great service. Lots of signs and jokes on the walls. Crowded in the evenings. Family oriented during the day and early evening. Great place to just sit and people watch.

This is Cabo nightlife at its craziest. It's very busy during the week, and jam-packed and off-the-hook on Friday and Saturday. There's loud, pumping dance music, wall-to-wall people, Jello shots, and lots of sights to enjoy (wink). This is THE party place in Cabo.

Watch out for the locals who get very touchy with the females if left alone for just a second.

The nightlife at Cabo San Lucas pulsates early and continues into the wee hours. Drinking in the streets and on the beach is acceptable. Beach side bars are prolific and very popular, but there is only one place to be if you like frantic socializing and hyperactive dancing in Cabo: Mexico's #1 nightclub "El Squid Roe".

El Squid Roe is located in downtown, an icon of the Cabo night scene and a premier destination for party-seeking tourists. It is a three-story dance hall and restaurant of pulsating energy and stand room only the night we were there. The brightly painted walls and ceilings were adorned with humorous signs and colorful neon lights. The mood was energetic, the beat pulsates, the crowd contagious and friendly. The atmosphere was crazy/anything goes, so don’t be shy. Standing in the center of the main floor on a sturdy platform was the DJ who played great music mixes, rapped, and sang with the rhythm, moved the groove, and coaxed everyone to let go and join the fun. The perimeter was separated by metal railings, behind padded benches backed with platforms ideal for dancing were poised against the wall.

There were lots of active table dancing in the middle and ecstatic dirty dancing on the dance floor, hooting and spectators hanging over the upstairs railing. Waiters togged up with tequila bottles hanging from a six shooter belt were very animated, they fought their way through the throngs of crowd, they enticed and arm twisted equipped with spray tanks of tequila and jello shooters (definitely 100% lethal) a prescription for a menacing day-after headache.

Located across from the Hard Rock Cafe, El Squid Roe is not for the timid and the pedantic, but hey you are on vacation in Cabo, so let loose- go with the flow. It is a voyeur's dreamland, a surreal and outrageous place where one can acquire a hangover very easily. Non-stop fun, drinking and dancing from the moment we entered this club. All age groups frequent this restaurant and bar with no dress code, come as you are. Minors are allowed until 10:30pm before the real party begins.

Squid Row is designed like a ship, but interesting enough if you look around some more it also looks like a jail. The bar is located downstairs, but waiters are everywhere. Just don't give them your credit card because you will have a hard time getting it back since the place holds more than 200 people.

Some of the most amazing things happen at Squid Row--people are dancing on the bars, tables, and hanging off the bannisters. It's as if you stepped into New Orleans for a night, every night, if you dare to go there over and over again, which I did because it was very entertaining.

You must visit Squid Row because it will be the only way you know you have fully experienced Cabos!
