Was there on a Wednesday night, pretty good. Went back on the Thursday, place was pretty empty, had some drinks, went out for a smoke and the guy wanted a 50MXN cover charge to get back in.

We went on a Sunday night. We found a fun, small bar with friendly staff, clientele. The dancers were super sexy, especially if you like muscle hunks! The drinks were good and reasonably priced.

I have been here before and had a great time. This is a more inclusive review. I was looking forward to going all week and it was a let down.The cover charge was made up at the door. The people behind me had to pay twice as much. I’m glad I paid half as much but it would have sucked to stand in line and then been surprised by a cover charge.Drink prices were reasonable and they accepted credit card over like 280 peso charges.The bartenders were great. They were attentive, spoke English, and made the drinks to order. Note-They measure the drinks to an exact shot.If there is going to be a theme night maybe require it upstairs. There was such an awkward feeling of “are we supposed to follow the theme or not” vibe.I should add…It is nice that this has a different vibe than other places in PV. I have enjoyed it before.The music was awful. I mean absolutely horrible. I didn’t want to dance or hear the noise so much that I just left. Very disappointing. There was zero variety to the music but was almost completely EDM and I don’t know why they had a DJ. They couple have played one some over and over and over again.

It happened to be Jockstrap night ( Sat) Friendly staff, the music was good. Go-go dancers upstairs. Highly recommended 😊

This sign was an eye opening shout out to the freedom of Puerto Vallarta life. We walked by dozens of times but never made it past the velvet rope. Nos vemos la próxima vez.

I didn’t try the food but the service and atmosphere was excellent. Despite being very busy the bartenders were efficient and friendly. The DJ was great, the music was a little loud for my preference but usual club volume and dance floor was full (after 11pm) The bathrooms were clean but did get backed up a little a times as expected. Lots of good gogo dancers as well.

Such a great place to have in PV! We went after Bingo on Tuesday to get a feel for the place and we were incredibly impressed! Amazing music, a wide variety of people, great drinks and a dark room!! We were so impressed we came back the next night for underwear night and had an absolute blast! If you’re looking for a great, welcoming kink bad look no further than Studs!

So much fun! Super friendly and full of surprises. The bartenders are the best and the DJ knows what he is doing spinning great music I had not heard. The super hot dancer made a complete evening. Most of all, the patrons are the best, friendly and fun!

I have to say that Studs offered the best service I’ve ever experienced at any bar or club. The atmosphere was truly incredible. We enjoyed the Red Room, thanks to my friend Chris, who set everything up. He made sure we had an amazing time with the stunning Gogo dancer, Carlos, and our fantastic server, who went above and beyond to make our night special. This unforgettable experience at Studs has me already planning my return to Puerto Vallarta. There’s nothing like it back in Vancouver.

Staff was all very friendly, enjoyed being there, and were quick with the drinks. Staff went above and beyond to ensure everyone was taken care of and happy! Carlos made great drinks but was also very outgoing, friendly, and made amazing conversation.
