The meetings are from 6 to 8 pm, and happy hour with 2 for 1 national drinks is extended to these hours (for our group only). Casa Isabel also often offers a special menu for Vallartascene members. Beer is 20 pesos. Come and meet old friends or make new ones. Casa Isabel also has a fine, moderately priced restaurant menu if you also wish to dine there.

This is a very loose gathering of expats, nationals and visitors at happy hour for cocktails, conversation and snacks. Approximately 30-50 people normally show up at these weekly events in high season at this spectacularly beautiful restaurant. No reservations are necessary and anyone can drop in or out at any time.

You don’t have to be a “member” of the VallartaScene Forum to attend but we do request that you sign our guest list. To become a “Board Member” of VallartaScene, all you need do is register at www.VallartaScene.com. I’d like to say that we are all god-fearing, decent people, but in reality we are, as Isabel, the owner of Casa Isabel proudly exclaims, “the motley crew.”

Casa Isabel is an open bar/restaurant. We simply invade it on some Friday evenings. We gather on the back side of the bar.

An old meeting:

If you’ve ever wondered about what it’s like to live as an expat in Vallarta, or if you’ve ever wondered what people are like who live as expats in Vallarta, this is a good way to answer your questions. Don’t be shy. Many of us at this meeting live here in Vallarta. Some of the “regulars” are originally from Canada, some from the USA and some from Mexico.

Every Saturday evening from 5 pm to approximately 9 pm, The Puerto VallartaScene Forum hosts a “Board Meeting Fiesta” at either Café Roma or Casa Isabel.

The next VallartaScene “Board Meeting Fiesta” at Café Roma will be on Saturday, March 27. See you there.

This is a very loose gathering of expats and visitors at happy hour for cocktails, conversation and snacks. Approximately 20-50 people normally show up at these weekly events. There is no “Meeting.” No “Board.” There are simply people who like to have a drink or two together in a very friendly atmosphere. No reservations are necessary and anyone can drop in or out at any time. This is an easy going way to meet the staff of this website, PVScene, as well as the people behind the VallartaScene Forum.

Café Roma is next to the Cuale River, down the street from the Central Mercado, upstairs at Encino 287, in downtown Puerto Vallarta.

Puerto Vallarta Attorney Maria O’Conner will present “The Legal Aspects of Buying and Selling Real Estate in Mexico” at the next Wise Wo-men meeting, scheduled to be held on Wednesday, June 11th, from 10 am until 12 noon at the International Friendship Club.

As an attorney specializing in real estate transactions Maria O’Conner has been the “go to” person in Puerto Vallarta. She has a legal mind, a personable demeanor, and has solved many problems before they even start.

A long time resident of Puerto Vallarta, who has earned a reputation for quality service, Maria will have a stimulating presentation that includes all aspects of real estate sales plus many other legal issues that may come up – especially for foreigners living in Mexico.

A lively question and answer session will follow her presentation, so come and be prepared. We look forward to seeing both men and women at this informative presentation.
