Great bar in the romantic zone. They have some of the best burgers in PV. The happy hour is amazing with 2 for 1 drinks until 9 pm. The service is super friendly. This is a very inclusive place. Great prices. A definite must check out in PV. 🍌🍌

Literally, happy hour here ended up being one of the best parts of our trip to Puerto Vallarta. It saved us so much money compared to the drinks at our hotel, and the quality was fantastic. The drinks were great — pictured is the espresso martini, which was absolutely delicious. Everything was well made, strong, and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, making it an easy place to relax, grab a drink, and enjoy the evening. If you’re in Puerto Vallarta and looking for a great happy hour spot, this is definitely worth stopping by.

Didn’t try the food, but this bar had the best margaritas of our trip and at the best price. The beer was very cold and delicious too. We visited this bar more than any place on our trip. Great spot!

The Banana Factory has quickly become a favorite—I’ve already racked up several drink tokens to cash in on my next visit. The drink prices are phenomenal, making it easy to stay for more than one round. The vibe is fun, the bartenders (especially the cute ones!) have been attentive, and it's a great spot to kick back and enjoy a night out in PV.

Happy hour is the bomb. 2-4-1 and yummy food. The service was great and attentive. Check out the shirts when you're there. A pun in words. Quite funny. Love those little chips.
