Iconic Papas & Beer is the Rosarito staple of beach party scenes. With multiple bars, levels, and extensions onto the beach, it can hold over 5,000 people and often hosts concerts, DJs, and events. Expect to pay "gringo prices," a cover charge in high season/weekends, and a rowdy younger scene. In off-season or mid-week, it can be pleasant and not as wild.
