Black Jagger Club
This club is located in the Arena Maipu Casino Club in the Maipu locality of Mendoza province, just outside the city. With the idea of creating a new nocturnal experience, the casino teamed up with local nightclub Sky Jagger to bring some pizzazz to the venue. Offering incredible nights with music by both local and international DJs, Black Jagger Club is inspired by clubs in New York from the 1960s, and also hosts comedy nights and live performances by bands. It also has a delicious gastronomic offering of sushi and great cocktails from three different bars.
La Reserva
La Reserva in central Mendoza is the go-to joint for the LGBT community. They put on open-mic nights and saucy drag shows, and Thursdays in summer are big nights that see people of all genders and sexualities come together to have a good time in the sweltering Mendocino nights. Saturdays are talent nights, so expect to be entertained.
