Mantamar Beach Club Bar & Sushi (formerly Mantamar Beach Club Bar & Grill)[1] is an LGBTQ bar in Puerto Vallarta's Zona Romántica, in the Mexican state of Jalisco.
Mantamar is a beach club associated with Almar Resort, an LGBT resort in Zona Romántica, Puerto Vallarta. The club opened c. 2013.[2] Owned by Vidal Meza and Javier Jiménez, the bar was set ablaze, possibly by arson, shortly after opening.[1] In 2020, Amy Ashenden of PinkNews said Mantamar "is the go-to place for – mostly – gay men", writing, "Although I spotted one small group of lesbians and they do occasionally throw lesbian parties in low season, it's definitely geared towards gay men looking to party".[3]
In 2020, the establishment was fined after a video of patrons having sex in the pool went viral.[4][5] The White Party Weekend in 2021 was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
