Where to Eat, Drink, and Stay in Zipolite, Mexico's Coolest LGBTQ-friendly Beach Town

"Opened in 2018 as Zipolite's first official queer bar, ChiZme became the small, safe gathering spot I had wanted for the LGBT community; its owner Vincente says he originally planned a queer coffeeshop but, because of the heat, it quickly became a bar. I appreciate that it has moved into a larger space and is widely regarded as the go-to place for drinks and good company in town, and its proximity to the Adoquín makes it part of Zipolite's queer history." - Kyle A.
