República del Pisco
Live music (l, d $$$)
This is a very popular place close to the Plaza de Armas. It has a good menu with large portions and great drink specials.
It almost always has live music in the evenings, especially on the weekends. The vibe is lively and it does get loud at night, with people dancing on the inside upstairs balcony that overlooks the bar.
