The destination

Fiestas Patrias happens in San Juan del Sur

The bay, the sand and Nicaragua's most famous sunset as the backdrop. San Juan del Sur fills up in September: locals, travelers and the whole coast after the same thing — a party with an ocean view. Tuani's sits right in the port zone, steps from the water.

Reservations

Book your table

Nine nights fill up fast. The Central Table is the best spot in the house to catch the whole show — book early and lock in your place on the peak nights.

General admission

Bar and floor, no reservation needed. Come early on the peak nights (13 & 15).

Most requested

Central Table & VIP

Where to find us

Frequently asked questions

What days is Fiestas Patrias at Tuani's?

We celebrate nine nights straight, from Friday the 11th to Saturday the 19th of September — not just the weekend. Each night has its own theme and DJ line-up, all built around Nicaragua’s two big national dates: the Battle of San Jacinto on the 14th and Central American Independence on the 15th.

Which are the biggest nights?

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are the biggest nights. On Sunday the 13th we start early, at 4:00 PM, with the sunset day party and keep going all night until 4:00 AM; Monday the 14th celebrates San Jacinto and Tuesday the 15th is Independence Day, in blue and white. If you only come for one night, make it one of these three.

See the full schedule →
What time do you open?

We open every day at 8:00 AM with the kitchen ready from early, and the party runs until 4:00 AM. On Sunday the 13th the sunset day party kicks off at 4:00 PM.

Is there a minimum age?

Yes, the event is 18 and over. Bring a photo ID — you may be asked for it at the door, especially on the busiest nights.

Where are you?

We’re on the Portuaria in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, steps from the beach with the best view of the bay. It’s an easy walk from the center of town.

How do I book a table?

The fastest way is WhatsApp at +505 5700 2060 — we confirm your table right away and you can request the area you prefer. You can also book through our online reservations system. For the peak nights, book ahead.

Can I come without booking?

Yes, there’s general admission with no reservation needed. But the peak nights — Sunday, Monday and Tuesday — fill up fast, so if you want a guaranteed table it’s best to book ahead or arrive early.

Can I see the menu?

Absolutely. We have a full kitchen from 8:00 AM: from patriotic dishes like nacatamal, vigorón and indio viejo to our regular menu, plus a full cocktail bar and ice-cold beers. You can see the complete food menu here.

What we celebrate

Two dates that made the country

September isn't one date, it's two. One is the battle that gave the pride; the other, the signature that gave the freedom. Both land right in the middle of the run.

September 14 · 1856

Battle of San Jacinto

A handful of poorly armed Nicaraguans beat back William Walker's filibusters at the San Jacinto hacienda. Few, badly equipped, and they won anyway. This is the date of pride.

See the night of the 14th
September 15 · 1821

Central American Independence

The Act is signed in Guatemala and five countries stop being a colony on the same day. That's why every September the torch of freedom crosses the region hand to hand until it reaches the border.

The tradition

How September is lived

Blue and white

The flag colors take over everything: facades, plazas, jerseys, even the cocktails. Dress in white and join in.

Marching bands

Drums, lyres and sticks. Schools rehearse for months for the parade: it's the official sound of September.

The torch

The flame of freedom travels from Guatemala to Costa Rica passing hand to hand. It crosses all of Nicaragua every September.

Home cooking

Nacatamal, indio viejo, vigorón and chicha. The patriotic table matters as much as the party. Kitchen open from 8:00 AM.

Nine nights to celebrate it.
