Diva’s Bar

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Diva’s Bar has been through several incarnations beginning as a very incongruous gay cantina out in Colonia Buenos Aires before moving to its present location and series of owners in East Old Town. It’s a very comfortable bar painted in dark, sensual colors, with subdued lighting perfect for a casual or intimate meeting of hearts or minds. The customers are both resident and tourist, Mexican and gringo, gay and straight. The decor is dark and romantic with large photos of famous divas, from Ava Gardner to Marlon Brando, on each wall. Be sure to check the daily specials written on the white board outside of the door. The air conditioning is a definite plus in the warmer months. Because of its out-of-the-way location it has to be classified as a “neighborhood” bar, but it’s much more than that.

Vallarta Old Town Farmers’ Market » Saturdays 10 am to 1 pm

Old Town Farmers’ Market open in Puerto Vallarta every Saturday, from November to the end of July.

Select from agricultural, horticultural, artisanal foods and crafts.

by Charlotte Semple

All of the great cities of the world have a celebrated Farmers’ Market where locals and tourists can find the freshest of vegetables, hand-crafted artisanal foods and handicrafts: London has Covent Garden, Seattle has Pike Place Market, Vancouver has Granville Island, New Orleans has the French Market and now, Puerto Vallarta, has the Old Town Farmers’ Market.

From the first Saturday in November to the last Saturday of July, from 10 am to 1 pm, the new Paradise Community Center located at Pulpito #127 (across from Coco’s Restaurant) comes alive with the sites and smells of a good old-fashioned Farmers’ Market.

Only the freshest and finest fruits and vegetables, herbs and plants, preserves, coffee, organic products, baked goods (including diabetic and gluten free) and crafts will be available for sale.

Come browse the colorful tables showcasing unique homemade products all fresh from the oven or field. Just imagine the rich aromas from the lavish displays: warm baked goods, tangy fruit, freshly roasted coffees and fragrant herbs. Now you can experience this blend of fresh shopping and entertainment every Saturday in Old Town Puerto Vallarta.

If you have a product that you would like to sell and are interested in becoming a vendor, please e-mail oldtownfm@hotmail.com. Please include your contact information and details about your product.
