Tijuana is a nice option if you go with a bunch of people. Make sure you always bring someone that know Spanish.
Go to clubs like Myster-e's and Safari's, Animals and Senor Frogs...But if you are more into the college spring break style go to Rosarito Beach! It's awesome...and much safer...but more expenisve and the same rules apply! And oh yeah some clubs...but it's rare (in downtown San Diego) do offer 18 and up nights...it mostly happens in the summer though!
Many U.S. youths come to Tijuana because Mexico's legal drinking age is 18, rather than 21 as in the United States.
The action is found all up and down Avenue de Revolution, a street lined with shops, restaurants and, especially, bars. The place is packed on weekends. At night, the flashing lights of the bars lure in a lively crowd, most of them in the 18-21 age range doing in "TJ" what they cannot do at home.
The drinking age in Mexico is 18, and bars do check IDs if people don't appear to be at least that old. There are of plenty of people of all ages here, as well. Many "older" partiers are here to scope out the younger revelers. And boy, do they revel, leaving some to wonder how any bars in nearby San Diego can survive with this kind of activity so close at hand.
Tijuana has a long tradition of hosting American party hounds. For years, the drinking spots were GoGo bars with a local soliciting business from the door where the dancers were known for their "extra performances" for a few additional pesos. Those places still exist, but you have to go out of your way to find them (such as off to the side streets and at the far end of Revolution). Some of the places are the Chicago Club and The Bambi Club.
Still, the main focus of Tijuana's incredible amount of young bars is on Revolution. The most popular dance clubs are the Eclipse Disco Club and Baby Rock and there are several more bars from which to choose. Just notice the crowd outside of a particular place and pick what you like.
It's not necessary to wait until after dark to have a good time here. On weekends, many of the bars are lively in the late afternoons. The best places are the Eclipse, Iguana-Rana's Bar & Grill and the El Torito Pub.
Is it safe here? Well, it's definitely possible to get into trouble without too much trouble. Be on the alert for petty theft and don't wander off alone. There are few life-threatening situations that even the drunkest visitor is likely to encounter but there are some unpleasant situations that could arise (like the threat of getting arrested unless a certain amount of money is paid). This is a heavy tourist town and there are some people that try and take advantage of the situation. Have fun, but don't leave your common sense at the border.
It's a hassle parking in Tijuana, but there is an easy solution. The United States side of the border area has plenty of safe parking. From there, walk across the border and catch a cab. It's $5 ride to the center of town. There is also a trolley service to the border from San Diego.
The nearest international airport is in San Diego. The drive to Mexico from Los Angeles takes about three hours. Driving requires Mexican insurance, which can be purchased at San Ysidro, the last United States exit off the freeway. It is advisable to fill up on gas in the States; some of these stations also sell insurance. Pesos can also be picked up here, but don't pay a commission fee.
The quality and cost of drinks varies dramatically between the string of discos on Avenida Revolucion and the more upscale clubs around town. On the Avenue, constant "booze wars" are the norm, with aggressive street hawkers offering "two for one" specials, "two for a dollar" beers, "three for a dollar" beers and other enticements to get you inside. If you're looking for something stronger than a Corona, you'll pay considerably less if you ask for Mexican liquor. Imports like Jack Daniels or Scotch are very expensive in Mexico because of the import taxes. On the Avenue, expect to find cheap liquor in your mixed drinks and not a lot of it. At other area clubs, the quality of the drinks is more in line with U.S. club standards.
When club-hopping on Avenida Revolucion, most revelers walk, since the discos are all so close. The street is well-lighted, and there are usually young crowds on the move well past midnight. Cabs are always available to take you back to the border. Safety is generally not a problem at night in the main tourist areas, but stay off the side streets. Use the same nighttime precautions you would use in the downtown area of any city with a million-plus population.
There's no one spot that's tops on Avenida Revolucion to drink or dance the night away. Between Second and Eighth streets, music blasts from Tequila Sunrise and People's to Iguanas Ranas and Hard Rock Cafe. Before the sun rises, if you can still crawl, you can try them all: Tijuana Tilly's, FX, Vive, Safari, Escape, Margaritas Village, El Torito Pub, the Caves and various others that open each month.
Tijuana's more discerning nightlife set, most of whom wouldn't be caught dead on Avenida Revolucion, gather at Plaza Fiesta for music, dancing, late-night dining and hobnobbing. The big, hacienda-like, square-block plaza -- busy every night and packed on weekends -- is a veritable rabbit warren of side-by-side clubs and open-air venues competing in music formats from rock to Afro-Cubano and Latin rhythms. (Favorites include Aah! Jijo, Monte Picacho, long-time favorite Sotano Suizo and the gigantic Mi Barra.) Plaza Fiesta is in the very heart of Tijuana's Zona Rio, diagonally across from the Cultural Center at the corner of Avenida Paseo del los Heroes and Independencia, right at the twin-spires monument. The plaza has its own parking lot.
Drop by Rodeo Santa Fe at midnight and you'll find a live, indoor rodeo. There's also all-night Norteno dancing with disco lights, a pulsating sea of white vaquero hats and wait staff that administers spontaneous tequila poppers right on the dance floor at this enormous, three-level club. The club is open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. Admission is $8. Rodeo Santa Fe is in the Pueblo Amigo Shopping Center on Avenida Paseo Tijuana in the Zona Rio. Call 011-52-664-682-4967 through 69.
Senor Frog's is a long-time favorite for tourists and locals alike looking to enjoy a night out. Entertainment is varied and the place is always hopping. Special events include Tuesday's "Taquiza" (includes Mexican food buffet, tequila, beer for $14.50); Fridays feature live radio broadcasts from 9 p.m. to midnight. Sunday afternoons turn into "Frogslandia," with live entertainment, clowns, face painting and pinatas to attract families. Open Sunday through Thursday, noon to 2 a.m.; Friday and Saturday, noon to 4 a.m. The club is located in the Pueblo Amigo shopping mall in Zona Rio. Call 011-52-664-682-4958.
