This Irish-style bar is located in Gali Plaza just off the marina boardwalk and features all the warm wood furnishings and emerald isle paraphernalia you might expect in a public house in County Cork.
The beer selection is international, with more than 100 beers available from around the globe, including Irish favorites like Guinness and Harp, as well as rarities from such faraway places as Turkey and Tahiti. There are only two beers on tap, Tecate and the excellent rice beer Indio, both from Mexico.
The Canadian La Fin du Monde, meaning the “end of the world” is among the most interesting of the international varieties. At nine percent alcohol, this triple fermented monster packs a wallop, and is best left for the end of the night. Pub de la Chapu also has extensive cocktail and martini selections, from blended beach-style quenchers like margaritas and piña coladas to more urbane quaffs like cosmopolitans and manhattans.
The service is very good here, and the staff is outgoing and attentive, making this a comfortable place to watch sports or vintage music videos on the seven high definition televisions inside. Cool refreshing breezes blow through the plaza walkway outside, and the outdoor tables are an oasis for those seeking a breath of fresh air when the bar gets crowded. The bar does its best business on the weekend and late at night, with a number of special promotions earlier in the week. Monday and Wednesday feature fruit-flavored martinis, including the pear-flavored Pub de la Chapu signature cocktail, for 50 percent off. On Tuesday, select international beers are available with a 25 percent discount, and Thursday is Ladies Night. Gali Plaza, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 143-1309, www.pubdelachapu,com. Daily 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. l major credit cards are accepted.The food menu features a lot of comfort food, with pub fare appetizers like nachos and chicken wings, as well as hamburgers, sandwiches, and Mexican favorites like tacos, fajitas, and quesadillas. It is not fancy, but it is very tasty, particularly the tortilla soup and the St. Patrick’s fish fillet with sliced mango, poblano sauce, and baked potato.
