Efforts are continuously being made in order to revitalize the local economy of Puerto Vallarta. The “alleged” Swine Flu gravely affected Puerto Vallarta’s tourism. In order to push the economy, Route 200 Bar & Grill, is introducing Noche de Vecinos which is Neighbors Night that fall on Wednesdays. Route 200 Bar & Grill is a great “old-fashioned” yet traditional biker bar situated next to the Farmacia Guadalajara in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit. It is also simply known to the locals as 'Choppers’.

The intention behind this is to rekindle the economy in the area of Banderas Bay. The local economy was affected by three major factors, firstly by the economic down turn which has sprung globally. Secondly, by the relentless media reports which sensationalized the violence in Mexico related to the drug mafia. And thirdly, by the magnanimous reports on the Swine Flu which did not even reach Puerto Vallarta. All these baseless reasons have led to such economic meltdown in Puerto Vallarta that not only the locals but also the authorities are perplexed as to what should be done. In such cases the spirit of Puerto Vallarta does not diminish but grows stronger. With the launch of this activity headed by the Puerto Vallarta Choppers or Route 200 Bar & Grill, perhaps the economy or the people can be helped. The Puerto Vallarta Choppers have purchased many gift certificates pertaining to restaurants, gym inscriptions salons and many more which will be raffled on every Wednesday night.

The plan is that on every Wednesday night whenever a customer will purchase a drink, he or she will receive a ticket for a raffle that will take place that night. The raffle will begin at 12.00 a.m. / midnight. An added bonus for all the locals and the tourists is that Noches de Vecinos will also host live music by “Saraxuana,” which will begin at about 9.45 p.m. every night. The kitchens will remain open till 12.30 a.m. and will continuously be at the service of all the customers. Delectable victuals will be provided to all the consumers. Foods like juicy hamburgers, cheesy nachos and mouth watering steak burritos are among the many food items which will be present to serve any customer who is hungry.

The Bar, Route 200 Bar & Grill is open for all from 2 p.m. till 1 a.m. from Tuesday till Sunday. Hence this puts you in the position to stop here every, and anytime, you are in the neighborhood. Surely, you would not want to miss the delicious food, refreshing drinks and most importantly the live music which is presented every Wednesday till Saturday. The Bar also provides the facility of Karaoke on Tuesdays which starts from 9.30 p.m. It is a great opportunity for all of you who want to have a great time, sipping chilled beer amongst the presence of some really cool and laid back people. If I may add, you would not regret this and would want to have more. So keep coming back, because you would not only have a great time, but you would also be helping Puerto Vallarta.
