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.

The bar is open to the outside even though from the street it looks like it is enclosed. People of all ages are dancing all over the place and the later it gets the crazier it gets. The people are lots of fun and by the time you are done you will have met everyone in the place. After 2am is the when the place real heats up, learn to expect the unexpected and just go have a blast. By the time everyone arives the people are packed in like sardines, but still the place to be. It closes about the time the sun comes up.

The young people love it - lots of dancing and fun activities. Walking distance from our resort (would recommend a cab after dark as there is an unlit area to walk through).

One word to define El Squid Roe...Crazy! Spend time reading the signs throughout. They are quite funny! The place gets absolutely packed and the crowd is quite young, so be prepared to get a little sweaty! I am still in awe over those girls that came out of there looking like a million bucks. When I left, you could literally ring out my hair! It is a place you need to experience at least once.
