La Bodeguita del Centro

There's live music of some kind almost every night from Tuesday to Saturday, usually starting at 9 pm, plus occasional poetry readings, films or forums.There's a hopping, creative local scene in Guatemala City, and this large, bohemian hangout is one of the best places to connect with it.

Posters featuring the likes of Che, Marley, Lennon, Victor Jara, Van Gogh and Pablo Neruda cover the walls from floor to ceiling. Entry is usually free Tuesday to Thursday, with a charge of Q25 to Q60 on Friday and Saturday nights; food and drinks are served.

It organizes debates and exhibitions, as well as live music shows ranging from the most perverted trends of rock to classical and jazz music concerts. There are performances virtually every day, but the main shows take place on weekends.
