Gay nightlife in Mendoza isn’t anything near as wild as in Buenos Aires, but thanks to the city’s small size you can meet people and zero in on your preferred scene quite easily. Here are some good places to start, for food and dancing:
Espacio 348 — A gay-friendly bar with a cool oriental décor, decent food, and pretty good music, including their popular ‘Club Zen’ parties.
San Lorenzo 348
Downtown Mendoza

Casa 3 — A fun gay-friendly pub and restaurant that brings in some pretty good DJ’s. The food is better than the typical pub fare and the atmosphere is comfortable.
