For a night out in Fernando de la Mora you have concrete options: craft beer at The Hop (on 10 de Julio, open daily until midnight), the Cuban-themed Oye Chico!, traditional food at Ña Eustaquia, cafés for a merienda, and shows at the Teatro Municipal. Choose by your group: quiet and early, a traditional dinner, or a ticketed show.
Beer and bars for a night with friends
- The Hop: Craft Beer House – 10 de Julio street. A craft brewery with its own and guest beers that change with the seasons, food and an outdoor Beer Patio; open every day until midnight. It was Paraguay's first teaching microbrewery and sells growlers to take away (SENATUR (opens in a new tab)). It also hosts gigs: in 2025 the rock band Salamandra played with advance tickets at Gs. 40,000 (SENATUR (opens in a new tab)). Tip: great after work; takes cards and reservations.
- Oye Chico! – on Mariscal López, in the north of the city. A Cuban-themed bar and restaurant with Cuban food, cocktails and live salsa, bachata and merengue, plus free salsa and bachata classes several days a week (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab); Infonegocios, 2024 (opens in a new tab)). Tip: good for a group night of dancing.
Local food or an indoor option
- Ña Eustaquia – Zavalas Cué – on Av. Zavalas Cué. Traditional Paraguayan food in a family setting, with parking, air conditioning, reservations and card payment (SENATUR (opens in a new tab)). Tip: the place to take visitors to try Paraguayan dishes.
- Paseo 1811 – the city's main mall, on Mcal. Estigarribia (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab); SENATUR (opens in a new tab)). An indoor option if it rains or is too hot.
Before the night: coffee and tereré
An early outing can be a merienda. In 2026 Infonegocios recommended four local cafés: Malcriada Café (sweets, mbejú and pizza), Alquimia Café (cakes), Moraga Café (specialty coffee and cocido) and Café Madre (sourdough and brunch) (Infonegocios (opens in a new tab)). Fernando de la Mora is also Paraguay's tereré capital, and National Tereré Day falls on the last Saturday of February (ABC Color (opens in a new tab)).
Shows and special dates
- Teatro Municipal Prof. Pedro Moliniers – on Capitán Montiel, the area's main theatre (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)). It hosts Fernando Se Ríe, a comedy festival whose third edition ran on 9–10 May 2026 with 14 comedians (SENATUR (opens in a new tab)).
- City anniversary – in 2026 the anniversary festival was on Saturday 28 February from 19:30 at Cancha Universo, opposite the Polideportivo (Manuel Domínguez and Albert Sabin), free entry (SENATUR (opens in a new tab)).
- Kamba Cuá festival – every 6 January, honouring San Baltazar, with Afro-Paraguayan dance in the Camba Cuá neighbourhood (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)).
Getting around and home
Avenida Mariscal Estigarribia splits the city into north and south and is the main way in from Asunción (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)). Central Asunción is about 6 km away along Eusebio Ayala, so many people combine a night here with getting back to the capital, San Lorenzo or Luque. Decide who drives or book a ride-hailing car home, and message the venue to check whether there is a show, cover charge or reservation that day.
