One more tequila margarita before boarding? That’s Margaritaville at PVR.
This Margaritaville sits airside in Terminal A at Puerto Vallarta International Airport, a few minutes’ walk past security toward the main international gates. It’s a sit-down bar and grill, so you can park your carry-on under the table and keep an eye on the departure screens while you squeeze in a final drink. Turn right after duty free in T-A and you’ll spot the bright signage near the mid‑terminal gate cluster.
The headliner here is the tequila margarita, usually priced in the mid‑hundreds of pesos depending on size and tequila tier. Ask for it on the rocks with a salted rim; frozen versions run sweeter and slower to drink if your boarding time is still 40–60 minutes out. Beer buckets and basic well drinks are on the menu too, and you’ll see plenty of people pairing a margarita with a second shot of blanco tequila before heading to US and Canada flights.
Food is classic bar fare with Mexican leaning: think nachos to share, quesadillas, tacos, burgers, and fries, with snacks starting around 150–200 MXN. Portions skew big enough to count as a meal if your flight to Dallas, Chicago, or Vancouver skips real food. Expect airport pricing: a plate and a drink easily hits 400–500 MXN, so this is more “last vacation splurge” than budget stop.
Service pace tracks how full the late‑morning and afternoon departure banks are; during the 11:00–15:00 wave to US hubs, a made‑to‑order margarita can take 10–15 minutes. Bar stools turn fastest, and solo travelers often slide into a single seat beside the taps while groups wait for tables. Staff call out boarding alerts when they notice clusters headed to the same gate, which is handy if you’re two drinks in.
Tip: if your flight starts boarding in under 25 minutes, order drinks only at the bar and skip hot food so you’re not sprinting to a last‑call announcement at Gate A7 or A8.
