Crowd with hands up on the dance floor at El Squid Roe Cabo San Lucas, what to expect before you go

Dress Code

Smart-casual. Come as you are after a beach day, but put a little effort in.

Works great
  • Jeans, shorts, sundresses, collared shirts
  • Clean sneakers, sandals, or boots
  • Beachwear with a cover-up after sunset
Leave it at the hotel
  • Athletic wear, gym shorts, or sweatpants
  • Sports jerseys and tank tops on big nights
  • Wet swimwear with no cover-up

Age & ID

El Squid Roe is 18 and over after 10 pm. Earlier in the evening it's a relaxed all-ages restaurant and bar. Bring a valid government photo ID or passport — the door checks everyone, no exceptions, and a photo of your ID on your phone won't be accepted.

What to Expect

Three floors of bars, dancing, and over-the-top fun in the heart of downtown Cabo. We've been doing this since 1989.

  • Three floors — each with its own energy, from open-air bar to dance floor.
  • It's a slow build, then it goes off. The party peaks after 10:30 pm.
  • Arrive by 11 pm to walk in easily and grab a good spot before the rush.
  • Big groups, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and birthdays are our specialty.

How the Deposit Works

This is the part people get wrong, so read it carefully — it saves you trouble at the door.

  • You pay a small deposit online to lock in your table or bottle service.
  • That deposit is credited 100% to your tab — it's money you spend that night, not a fee.
  • The remaining balance is paid at the door when you arrive.
  • The online deposit is NOT the full price of your table. It reserves your spot.

Plainly: the deposit is a down payment on your own night. Every peso comes back to you as credit on your tab.

Payment

  • At the door and at your table we accept cash, Visa, and Mastercard.
  • The balance after your online deposit is settled when you arrive.
  • Prices are quoted in US dollars; the venue can also take Mexican pesos.
