For those seeking an authentic and vibrant nightlife experience in Lima, look no further than AmarCura bar in Pueblo Libre. Strategically located right on the corner of the historically significant Plaza Bolívar, AmarCura offers more than just drinks.

It’s a sophisticated yet welcoming hub for enjoying Peru’s national spirit in a prime setting, perfectly situated for an evening out in one of Lima’s most charming districts.

AmarCura distinguishes itself with its dedication to pisco, Peru’s iconic grape brandy. While the classic Pisco Sour is a given, their expert mixologists craft an impressive array of creative and traditional pisco-based cocktails, inviting you to explore the nuances of this revered spirit.

The ambiance is one of comfortable elegance, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Pueblo Libre’s historical sites, or for starting your night in a truly authentic Peruvian way.

But don’t expect a boring, sterile, tourist centric bar. AmarCura has live music most nights of the week. And drinks specials, like all you can drink Chilcanos for s/50 (approx. $12 USD).

Adding to its appeal, AmarCura sits conveniently next door to The Barley Bar. Which is a well-known spot that electrifies Pueblo Libre’s nights with live Salsa music every Friday and Saturday.

This proximity means you can enjoy AmarCura’s refined pisco creations in a more intimate setting. And then seamlessly transition to the lively energy of The Barley Bar for dancing and a more boisterous atmosphere. It offers the perfect one-two punch for an unforgettable evening.

Being right on Plaza Bolívar also means AmarCura benefits from the plaza’s historical grandeur and easy accessibility. It’s right on the corner between Pasion Cerveceria (brew pub) and the Barley Bar (Bolivar Convention Center).

Whether you’ve just visited the Magdalena Palace (Quinta de los Libertadores) or the National Museum, or you’re simply looking for a fantastic spot to kick off your night in Pueblo Libre, AmarCura provides an ideal blend of local character, expertly crafted drinks, and a prime location for experiencing Lima’s authentic nightlife.

AmarCura is a must-visit for anyone looking to savor Peru’s liquid heritage in a truly special environment.

Travel Tip: If you’re a single man, be warned, this bar has a lot of single ladies. And it’s not for naught that it’s called AmarCura.
