Mr. Flamingo is a gay bar in Zona Romántica, Puerto Vallarta, in the Mexican state of Jalisco.
Description
[edit]Located at Ignacio L. Vallarta and Venustiano Carranza streets, the semi-open air establishment specifically caters to the LGBT community.[1] Amy Ashenden of PinkNews described the bar as "small but very friendly and a seriously popular choice attracting the most mixed crowd" she saw in the city.[2] In 2019, Thrillist's Meagan Drillinger wrote, "For all-night parties, you’ll want Mr. Flamingo, an open-air spot popular with the LGBT community but also completely non-discriminatory. At 7pm it’s a chill, sunset happy-hour bar, but it flips into full-on party mode by 7:30, spills out into the streets, and doesn’t lose momentum until around 3am."[3]
History
[edit]Javier Jimenez is the bar's owner. In 2021, Ed Walsh of the San Francisco Chronicle called the bar "wildly popular".[4]
Reception
[edit]In 2018, ChicagoPride.com's Jerry Nunn wrote, "Mr. Flamingo is so popular that the dancing continues in the streets surrounding it on Calle Larazo Cardenas. People enjoy the pop music with not a lot of variety most likely because they can sing along, three Shania Twain songs in an hour is a little much but that stopped no one from shaking their tail feathers all night."[5] The bar was described as "always fun" in a 2020 guide published by Moon.[6]
