Rank 2. Sastrería Martinez
Peruvian
You enter through a working tailor shop, which is exactly the kind of door a cocktail bar in Miraflores would choose. Inside, Sastrería Martinez leans into its Prohibition-era premise with herringbone floors, vintage leather couches, and recessed golden lighting that makes everyone look like they have secrets. It holds a spot on the World's 50 Best Bars list, and the room earns the billing without trying too hard.

Rank 4. Limaq Bar
Cocktail Bar
A mural by Conrad Florez anchors the room at this cocktail bar in San Isidro, where the backlit bar and spare furniture split the difference between old-school tavern and somewhere you'd photograph your drink. The ever-changing menu leans on seasonal Peruvian ingredients, with pisco threading through most of it, sometimes with a little theater. Small plates of local food round things out when the cocktails convince you to stay.

Rank 4. Ole Bar Restaurante
Peruvian
The revolving front door is your first hint that this is not a casual drop-in bar. Inside, Incan design motifs give way to nautical touches at the bar itself, which somehow creates the feeling of drinking aboard a very tasteful ship docked in San Isidro. Order El Capitán, the Peruvian pisco-and-vermouth classic, which arrives in two parts, the second kept cold on ice. An old-school institution, and the crowd dresses accordingly.
