Bachelor crews land in Cabo San Lucas every single week of the year — it's warm, it's a 2-hour flight from half the U.S., and downtown packs eight-plus party venues into a few walkable blocks. We run those doors, so here's the honest playbook.
The short version
Book one hosted night for the whole crew — our Bachelor •ette Party pass is $65 per person with a $15/person deposit — and leave the other nights loose. The pass covers express entry at 5 downtown bars, welcome shots at each, and an hour of open bar at El Squid Roe. Groups that wing every night lose someone by 11 PM; groups that over-schedule burn out by night two.
The itinerary that works
- Day 1 — arrival night: keep it easy. Marina dinner, a couple of bars, early-ish. Everyone lands at different times and the crew that peaks on night one regrets it.
- Day 2 — the big night: this is the pass night. Meet your VIP host at El Squid Roe around 9:30 PM and let them walk the group past every line: Crush, Saloon (yes, there's a mechanical bull), and the finale on El Squid Roe's three floors.
- Day 3 — recovery + day party: beach or pool day. If the crew still has legs, a daytime beach club session is the move before a low-key final dinner.
What it actually costs
Per person, for the big night: the $65 pass (deposit $15, balance at check-in), plus whatever you drink beyond the included hour, plus tips. Compare that with going it alone — covers downtown run $15–$20 per club and cocktails ~$8 — and the pass pays for itself by the second stop. Full price math is in our bar crawl cost breakdown.
Groom rules and door rules
- Everything downtown is 18+ with valid photo ID — bring passports or licenses, no exceptions at any door in town.
- Costumes and matching shirts are welcome everywhere we go. Inflatable accessories may not survive the night.
- Tell us it's a bachelor party in the booking form — your host makes sure the groom feels it (shout-outs included).
Big group? (10–20+)
The pass handles big crews fine, but for 15+ our private events team can build a custom night with reserved tables so the group has a home base at every stop.
The one mistake every group makes
Booking nothing "to stay flexible." On a Friday or Saturday in high season, flexible means the back of a line watching pass-holders walk in. The deposit is $15 a head and refundable up to 72 hours out — flexibility is exactly what it buys. Lock the big night and improvise everything else.

Reserve your pass with a small per-person deposit — the balance is due at check-in, and date changes are free with 72 hours' notice.
