Mama Mía

San Miguel de Allende


This perennially popular place has separate areas for differing entertainment purposes; hit Mama's Bar for live rock/funk on Fridays and Saturdays (or karaoke on weeknights), or join a more sophisticated crowd in the restaurant patio for live folk music. Up front, Bar Leonardo's shows big-screen sports and La Terrazza, the terrace bar, offers a fine view of the town.

The joint gets going by 11pm.
