When the concert, dinner, wedding, or birthday ends, the question appears: where do you keep the party going in Puerto Barrios? If the group still wants music and dancing, Single’s Bar is a clear after-party option in Santo Tomás de Castilla, open Wednesday through Sunday until 3:00 a.m. (4:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday).
A good after is not about improvising more — it is about coordinating better. Confirm the venue is open, share the location, sort return transport, and say how many people are coming before you move.

What an after party means in Puerto Barrios
An after party is the plan that continues when the main activity ends. It does not have to start at dawn or be a private event. It can be the stop after:
- A concert or show
- A wedding, graduation, or birthday
- A long dinner with friends
- A company outing
- A beach day or Izabal trip
- Another bar or Santo Tomás pub that closed before the group was ready to stop
Single’s Bar fits that intent because it combines bar, tables, DJ, and dance floor in one place. It is at Plaza JR, local 12, Santo Tomás de Castilla, with usual hours 7:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. (4:00 a.m. Fri & Sat), Wednesday to Sunday.
Why Single’s Bar works for continuing the night
The proposition is simple: arrive with your group, order at the bar, hear the scheduled music, and dance if that is the mood. Before you go, browse the real photo gallery, check the menu, and review the weekly schedule.
We do not publish fixed entry prices, promos, or a permanent DJ here because those details can change by date. The right source is that day’s lineup or a direct WhatsApp confirmation.
Arrive as the after, or start the night at the club?
Both routes work; the difference is timing and coordination:
- Dinner or event first, then the after in Santo Tomás. This is the most common flow: eat in downtown Puerto Barrios or near your lodging, finish the first activity without rushing, and move to Santo Tomás when the group wants music. The venue runs until 3:00 AM (4:00 AM on Friday and Saturday), so there is no need to hurry — but sort transport before leaving the first stop.
- Start the night at the club. If you would rather not split the evening, arrive early: the 7:00 to 10:00 PM window is the calmest time to get a table, order without a line, and settle in before the night picks up.
To compare areas, restaurants, and types of night out before deciding, our nightlife guide to Puerto Barrios explains how the night splits between downtown and Santo Tomás.
Visiting on a cruise ship at the Santo Tomás port?
The Santo Tomás de Castilla cruise port is about a 10-minute taxi ride from Single’s Bar, so a same-night after is realistic if your ship stays overnight or departs late. Four steps are enough:
- Confirm your all-aboard time first. Your cruise line’s instructions always take priority over any party plan.
- Arrange the taxi round trip from the start. The ride is short, but the early-morning return should be settled in advance, not improvised.
- Arrive early if your window is short. The 7:00 to 10:00 PM window lets you see the venue, have a drink, and get back to the ship with time to spare.
- Message on WhatsApp the same day, before leaving the ship, to confirm the venue is open and which event is on that night.

Four plans that end well with an after
After a concert
Do not wait until the last song to decide. During a break, pick the next stop and share it in the group chat. Whoever coordinates should check Single’s Bar’s night plan, the route, and a calm arrival window.
If part of the group does not want to continue, separate transport from the start.
After dinner
Eat without rushing, then move to Santo Tomás for music. Confirm the current events page so nobody expects a format that is not scheduled.
After a birthday or private event
Message WhatsApp with date and headcount before the first celebration ends. See also our birthday guide for Puerto Barrios.
After a beach day
Rest, hydrate, and eat before dancing. A full sun day can tire people more than expected. Leave buffer time between the boat, hotel, and night out.
Practical checklist
- Confirm opening hours for that day.
- Share the Google Maps pin with the group.
- Decide return transport before drinking.
- Check cover and lineup on Instagram or WhatsApp.
- Arrive early (7–10 p.m.) if you want easier seating.
