A trendy gay martini in the heart of Zona Romantica, Sama (Olas Altas 510, 322-223-3182) is right next to the campy Mama Dolores Diner, along busy Olas Altas. The popular bar received a beautiful renovation in 2009 - pictured here is the swanky new interior.

This strip of businesses is rife with gay hangouts, among them Garbo piano bar (around the corner on Pulpito), trendy Apaches lounge and bistro (Olas Altas 439), Cafe San Angel creperie (Olas Altas 449), and Cafe Tizoc Mexican restaurant (Olas Altas 474). Sama tends to be the most fun early in the evening, before revelers head off to late-night hot spot, Club Manana.
