It’s Thursday in Playa – What’s there to do? Fun Things to do in Playa

Entertaining Things to do. I am very happy walking the beach during the day and 5th Ave. at night, but sometimes it’s fun to do something different.  Thursdays are great days to do 2 things, both involving drinks and entertainment!

In the afternoon, either 4-8 or 5-9, The Nasty Bastards plays at Bad Boys on the Beach in Playa del Carmen. Bad Boys is located on the beach about 50 yards south of Calle 6 in Playa del Carmen, close to the ferry boat pier to Cozumel. They do a mix of 60′s, 70′s, and 80′s music. They are laid back, entertaining and people often join them on stage to sing.

Captain Dave’s Bad Boys Beach Club is a lot of fun whether you sit inside or on the beach. They roast chicken and ribs (I’ve never eaten there, but I hear it’s good).

Off The Vine
After a late afternoon of music and dancing, walk north on First Avenue to Off The Vine, where you can have wine tasting and a catered multi-course dinner. A sample menu recently included:

  • Prosciuto with Melon
  • Smoked Mussels
  • Roasted Red Pepper with Goat cheese
  • Marinated Artichokes
  • Garlic Shrimp
  • Mushrooms Ajillo
  • Tortilla Espanola
  • Spanish Chorizo
  • Spanish Rice

The food is great, the wine superb and he usually brings in an expert to talk about the wines. It’s a great relaxing, fun night. Off The Vine is located at Av. 1 Norte entre 26 y 28 Playa del Carmen, México Tel. +52 (984) 803 5244
