The Best Bars in Lima

Lima is famous as a food capital, and its cocktail bars now match its restaurants, working pisco and ingredients from Peru's coast, highlands and jungle. The best bars in Lima spread across Barranco, Miraflores and San Isidro. In Barranco, Lady Bee, No. 9 in The 50 Best Bars 2026, is named for a native stingless bee and builds its drinks around nearby producers and the Peruvian farming calendar; bartender Alonso Palomino and chef Gabriela Leon opened it in 2021. In Miraflores, Sastrería Martinez, No. 37 in the same list, hides a 1920s speakeasy behind a tailor shop, where guests are measured for a suit or given the password. Carnaval, founded by Aaron Díaz in January 2018 and now in San Isidro, debuted at No. 13 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2019 and offers a seven-drink tasting called the Gran Carnaval. On Manuel Bonilla in Miraflores, El Infusionista pours medicinal-style cocktails and La Cachina calls itself a recycling bar. Lady Bee welcomes walk-ins and books online for up to four. These are the bars we would start with.

    50 BESTCocktail Bar

    Lady Bee

    Lady Bee practices what it calls product-driven mixology, built on Peruvian ingredients, nearby producers and the agricultural calendar. The name comes from the abeja senorita, a native stingless bee that stands for pollination and collaboration, and the list reflects the country's range from the Pacific coast to the Andes and the Amazon. The bar is in Barranco, Lima.

  4. El Infusionista
    Cocktail Bar

    El Infusionista

    Opened in 2018 by founders Luis Alonso Carrión, Jorge Chung, and César Davey, El Infusionista styles itself as an apothecary inspired by the infusionists of traditional Chinese medicine. Tinctures, shrubs, and house macerations line a clinical, laboratory-like room on Manuel Bonilla, and the technique shows up in signature drinks such as the Transfusión, the Xianggu Highball, and the Cáliz del Dragón y el Fénix, paired with an oriental Yin Yang food menu. One of the earliest of the concept bars that now cluster on this Miraflores street alongside María Mezcal, La Cachina, and La Calor, it also runs a second location in Arequipa.

  5. La Cachina Bar
    Cocktail Bar

    La Cachina Bar

    A few doors down Calle Manuel Bonilla in Miraflores, La Cachina Bar takes its name from Peru's flea-market stalls and furnishes the room to match, with recycled and vintage finds layering Peruvian nostalgia onto every wall. The bar pours creative artisanal cocktails to a soundtrack that keeps the mood loose, and it anchors the same family of concept bars as María Mezcal, La Calor, and El Infusionista, with a second location in Arequipa. It is the vintage soul of a street that has quietly become one of Lima's most concentrated cocktail destinations.
