La Costilla de Adán

Top choice in La Paz


Take a dive down the rabbit hole into the warped mind of owner Roberto Cazola at this supremely surreal speakeasy. Prepare yourself for hundreds of creepy dolls, a dozen hanging bicycles and a night full of wonder next to the roaring fire. There's no sign out front. Simply ring the bell, wait, and let the magic begin.
