The Old Pub

I recommend chatting with the staff. They are super friendly and can give you great tips on what to order or where to go next!

I think it's a good idea to arrive after 9 PM if you want to catch the live music. The vibe really picks up then, and it gets crowded fast.

My advice is to try the signature cocktails – they are unique and worth it! But skip the beer; it was a bit overpriced compared to other places.
El Chinito Sangucheria

Check the opening hours, they can be a bit weird! I planned to go at noon, but they open at 11; getting there early means no waiting!

If you're on a budget, their combos are a good deal! I got a sandwich and a drink for less than I expected.

The service was friendly but a bit slow during lunch hours... Be patient, it’s worth it when you finally get your food!
Mercado Central de San Pedro
Try the local dishes, but don’t hesitate to ask for smaller portions if you're unsure. I wasted money on big servings of food I didn't end up finishing!

Bargaining is a thing here! If you see something you like, don’t hesitate to haggle a bit. It’s part of the experience, and you might get a better price!

Stay hydrated! Cusco's altitude can sneak up on you. I suggest grabbing a fresh juice from one of the stalls to beat the altitude sickness. It worked wonders for me!
Maido
El Pan de la Chola

I recommend stopping by around 10 AM to beat the weekend crowd; trust me, it gets packed! You'll get fresher pastries and a better spot to enjoy them.

If you can, check out their special bread of the day before you order. I missed out on a fantastic rosemary bread because I didn't ask! Don't be shy!

My advice is to bring cash, as credit cards are sometimes a hassle there. It’ll save you time and help avoid awkward moments at the register.
Picas

I suggest using local ride-sharing apps instead of taxis to save some money and hassle, especially since traffic can be a bit wild in Lima. It’s more reliable and safer!

I think it’s smart to check social media for any themed nights or events happening during your visit. They often have drag shows or special performances that really spice up your night
I recommend checking out the happy hour deals, especially at places like Kitsch, from 6 PM to 8 PM. You get great cocktails at half price, which is a steal!
Murphy's Irish Pub

If you're looking for food, I suggest sharing a platter. The portions are big, and it's a great way to sample different Irish dishes without overspending.

If you're into live music, ask about the schedule before you go. We ended up there on a quiet night and missed out on some great performances!

I recommend checking out their happy hour, which starts at 5 PM and can save you a few bucks on drinks. The vibe is way more chill then too!

Definitely explore the drink menu; they have a solid selection of craft beers. I think it's worth trying their local brews instead of sticking to the usuals.
Central Restaurante
Open Deck
Cusco Food

I recommend trying the local craft beers here; they're delicious and way cheaper than you'd find in the bigger city. Plus, the bar staff are really knowledgeable about what to get.

I suggest checking out the daily specials on the chalkboard; I found a fantastic ceviche offer that was way tastier and less expensive than the standard menu items.

If it gets crowded in the evenings, don't stress. Grab a spot at the bar; the bartenders are super friendly and will keep you entertained while you sip your drink!
