Night experience with Barra Libre in Puebla

Planning to explore Puebla’s nightlife? This night experience with Barra Libre offers a chance to hop between some of the best bars and dens in Puebla and Cholula, all with an open bar included. It’s a great option if you’re traveling solo, with friends, or even if you want a fun way to meet new people. We haven’t tried it ourselves, but based on the details and reviews, here’s what you should know before booking.

Two things we really like about this tour are the flexibility and the focus on fun. It runs from Tuesday to Saturday, giving plenty of options for your trip schedule, and the structured plan ensures you’ll get to visit some top spots without the hassle of figuring out each place on your own. Plus, the open bar is a definite highlight, allowing you to enjoy different drinks without constantly reaching for your wallet.

One possible drawback is that the activity ends fairly late, around 4 AM, which might be tiring if you have early plans after. Also, the actual locations aren’t fixed until you book, which means the experience varies and depends on the day’s itinerary, so you’ll want to be flexible and open-minded about which bars you visit.

This tour is perfect for nightlife lovers who enjoy socializing, dancing, and exploring local spots in Puebla and Cholula. If you’re looking for a lively, guided evening with a mix of drinks and new faces, this is a solid choice. It’s also suitable if you prefer organized nights out rather than wandering on your own late at night.

Exploring the Puebla and Cholula Nightlife

This tour is designed to give you a taste of Puebla and Cholula’s vibrant nightlife scene. You’ll start at a designated meeting point in Cholula around 8 PM, where a guide will introduce the evening’s plan. From there, it’s all about hopping through a handful of “partner” bars—each with its own vibe and charm.

What makes this experience appealing is the chance to sample different atmospheres without the stress of planning each stop yourself. Since the locations are shared after booking, you’ll get to learn more about the city’s night scene and experience its energy firsthand. The staff is bilingual, so whether you speak English or Spanish, you’ll have support throughout the night.

The bars included—like Bestiario, Be, The Normal, Jala La Jarra, Casa de Chucho—each bring something unique. Some might be lively dance spots, while others are more laid-back. Since the itinerary is sent to you in advance, you can get a sense of what each place offers, but be prepared for some variation depending on the night.

The Open Bar Experience: What to Expect

The open bar runs throughout the night, giving you access to all beverages at the partnered venues. It’s only available for travelers over 21, so keep that in mind. The drinks included are typically a selection of beer, cocktails, and other alcoholic beverages, making it perfect for those looking to unwind and enjoy a free-flowing evening.

Having an open bar at multiple bars means you can pace yourself, try different drinks, and enjoy the night without constantly reaching for your wallet. It also helps foster a social, relaxed atmosphere—everyone’s in the same boat, and it’s easier to strike up conversations when there’s a drink in hand.

However, since dinner isn’t included, plan to eat beforehand or grab something at the bars if available. The focus is primarily on drinking and socializing, so don’t expect a sit-down meal as part of this experience.

Itinerary Breakdown: What Does an Evening Look Like?
