The pride and glory of our Lima hostel, The Pointless bar is a decorated wooden shed in the backyard. It is the focal point of the hostel, a place where people meet, eat and drink, play pool and where relationships and affairs are being started and now and then ended. There are about 30 cocktails on the drinks menu, which our bartenders are only too happy to make for you, and several imported beers on sale in case you are homesick.
Almost every night we organise events in our bar, such as competitions, parties and shows. Naturally, The Pointless Bar is the starting point of our daily explorations into the vibrant Lima nightlife.
