At first site you might think that San Pedro Sula is lacking in activities for the night owls, however that is far from true. Amongst the varieties are a casino, movie houses, bars and night clubs. For your convenience, we have divided your options into three different categories. Casinos, Bars, Disco's and Night Clubs. We have not included movies, as you can easily obtain updated information from the current newspapers. The best movie theaters in San Pedro Sula are the Geminis, Plaza de Sula and Aquarius, all located either on the Boulevard Morazan or a couple of blocks away from this important avenue.
Casinos

There is only one casino in San Pedro Sula, The Casino Copan. It is located in the Hotel Copantl and is open daily from 8:00 PM.
