Just a couple of good places found among the street. There are many that have closed down and others that are for other type of clientele. If you are in town I guess you can check it out.
Tienes que vivir la vida nocturna de esta calle, sobre todo en fin de semana. El sábado es un gran día para ir. Hay restaurantes y bares para todos los bolsillos. Te encantará.
downtown mcallen has a lot of bars and places to dance with your love one. There is security around and plenty of parking lots. I will recomend TRI-BAR for young people, they play top hits and ladies go crazy
The area has a few blocks of nice restaurants and bars/clubs. If your visiting then this should be a stop just to have a few drinks and some fun.
My two 20+ year old daughters like to go there at night for the entertainment and to hang out with friends. Not as much though as when they were teenagers. Or adults 40+, not recommended.
An elegant LITTLE restaurant tucked into the 17th Street Arts District. See the artwork of Rubio....a great Mexican artist. Enjoy the special foods on the menu.
There is some good bars and clubs, some even have live band playing. Bars are small but you can find what you like there. Cheap place to get loaded with beer and shot. Better nightclub with good selection of drinks and good bartender, with different price. These can't be compared with "big city" places but... they are decent at their own scale. The Flying Walrus, Thirsty Monkey, Frida’s Grill and Cantina, OMG Bar.
This used to be skid row in McAllen but with the downtown renovations that taken place over recent years it is an interesting party scene for those who like to embibe.
This is McAllen's attempt at an entertainment district, but the bars generally found here are uninspired and devoid of any kind of outside the box thinking, mostly just a bunch of crowded places to get expensive gin and tonics.
I remember coming when this place first started out and go out with friends when i'd visit on the weekends down from Kingsville. Ever since then, the type of people that flood the area on the weekends have made it less desirable. recent shootings have also changed up the type of people who go.
