4 reviewed party hostels · from €6.71/night · Hostelworld rated
Sucre isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think of South American party hostels, but it holds its own if you know where to look. KulturBerlin is the go-to spot for backpackers wanting a mix of dorm beds and a bar that spills into a dance floor by 11 PM. The hostel sits on Calle San Alberto, a quiet street that transforms after dark when groups from nearby hostels converge for cheap drinks and reggaeton beats.
The nightlife here is small but lively, centred around a handful of bars and clubs within walking distance of the Plaza 25 de Mayo. Don’t expect massive crowds or all-night raves: Sucre’s scene is more about mingling with travellers over cocktails or a shared table of local beer. If you’re after a bigger party, La Paz is the usual alternative, but Sucre offers a chilled, social vibe that’s easy to slip into without breaking the bank.

How Sucre's nightlife zones break down
The historic heart of Sucre, where colonial architecture and backpacker hostels collide. Most of the city’s nightlife is concentrated here, especially around Calle San Alberto and Calle Estudiantes. During the day, it’s all about plazas and museums, but after dark, the streets fill with groups heading to bars and clubs. Stay here if you want to be within walking distance of everything.
A more local neighbourhood just north of the centre, known for its market and budget eats. It’s quieter at night but has a few hidden bars and salsa spots that attract a mix of students and travellers. The walk to the main nightlife area takes about 20 minutes, or you can grab a taxi for 10 BOB. Stay here if you prefer a slower pace but still want easy access to the party.
A hillside area with great views over the city and a handful of mid-range hostels. It’s a 15-minute walk from the centre, so nights here are quieter, but the sunset spots are worth the trek. There are a couple of bars catering to travellers, but most people head downtown for the night. Stay here if you want a balance of peace and proximity to the action.
Where the hostel pub crawls end up, and where to go on your own
This hostel-bar-club hybrid is the heart of Sucre’s backpacker nightlife. The bar opens at 6 PM with happy hour prices (20 BOB for a beer, 35 BOB for cocktails) and fills up by 10 PM when the music switches from indie to reggaeton. The crowd is mostly travellers in their 20s, and the dance floor gets packed after midnight. If you’re staying here, you’ll save on entry: otherwise, it’s 10 BOB to get in.
Just a minute’s walk from the Plaza de Armas, Imaynalla is KulturBerlin’s main rival. The vibe is similar: cheap drinks, a mix of locals and travellers, and a dance floor that opens late. They serve food until midnight, so it’s a good spot for a pre-party meal. Entry is free if you buy a drink, and beers start at 18 BOB during happy hour (7–9 PM).
A grungy, dimly lit bar that’s popular with backpackers and locals alike. The music leans towards rock and alternative, and the crowd is a mix of students and travellers. Drinks are cheap: 20 BOB for a beer, 30 BOB for a cocktail: and the staff don’t mind if you linger. It’s small, so it gets busy early. Open from 6 PM until the last customer leaves.
Not a party spot, but a great place to start the night with a group. This café-bar is run by an Aussie-Bolivian couple and serves burgers, pizzas, and strong cocktails (40 BOB). It’s a popular meeting point for hostel groups before heading to KulturBerlin or Imaynalla. Happy hour runs from 5–7 PM, and the Wi-Fi is reliable if you need to sort plans.
A French-owned bar with a cosy, underground feel. The music is a mix of electronic and indie, and the crowd is mostly travellers and expats. Cocktails are 35–45 BOB, and they offer a small menu of snacks. It’s quieter than KulturBerlin or Imaynalla, making it a good spot for a more relaxed night out. Open from 6 PM until midnight.
One of the few proper clubs in Sucre, La Cueva plays a mix of Latin, reggaeton, and electronic music. Entry is 20 BOB and includes a drink. The crowd is mostly locals, so it’s a good place to experience Bolivian nightlife beyond the backpacker bubble. It gets busy after midnight, and the dance floor is tiny but lively. Open Thursday to Saturday.
