Faraway Bar

This hip new nightspot is owned by a trio of professional surfers, and has the benefit of being one of the largest and best laid out venues in town, with a variety of spaces that lend themselves to different decors and atmospheres, including a downstairs lounge, a front patio, a game room, a patio lounge in the back, and a spacious upstairs area that showcases live music and a signature bar dedicated to local liquors like tequila, mezcal, and pulque. The lower lounge area is a fusion of traditional and contemporary styles, with colonial accents, distressed leather couches, and a DJ playing Cuban and Brazilian rhythms. Upstairs, the atmosphere is much wilder, with live rock and roll from some surprisingly big names. The food at Faraway is overseen by Pierluigi Babini, former co-owner of long-time marina-front fixture Amarone, and includes appetizers, pizzas, pastas, and delicious desserts.
