THE LIMA ADVENTURE
We’re heading to Lima in search of the city’s best craft beer, standout beer venues, smash burgers worth crossing town for, and local coffee worth lingering over.
We’ll follow local recommendations, compare favorites, and let a great discovery lead to the next. Come thirsty. Come hungry. Stay curious.
What we’ll be up to
Great beer. Memorable venues. Serious smash burgers. Exceptional local coffee.
The craft beer
Explore Peruvian craft beer with an open mind and a curious palate. We’ll look for crisp lagers, expressive IPAs, and something we’ve never tried—asking what’s pouring and what the people behind the bar are excited about.
Compare flavors, trade tasting notes, and discover which beers deserve a place on our personal list of Lima favorites.
Explore the beer scene ↗The craft beer venues
A memorable beer deserves a memorable setting. We’ll seek out taprooms and neighborhood beer bars with welcoming people, interesting tap lists, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to settle in.
7 Vidas Taproom Olaya leads our shortlist, with Pinta Draft Bar, La Cerveteca, and Red Cervecera among the other places on our radar.
Meet the venue shortlist ↗The smash burgers
Crisp, caramelized edges. Melted cheese. A bun that brings it all together. We’ll take the search for Lima’s best smash burger seriously, with Blast, Burgerboy, and more contenders from Rob’s map in the mix.
Everyone gets a vote. Expect plenty of friendly debate over the best bite—and which beer makes the perfect match.
Follow the burger trail ↗The local coffee
Local coffee belongs at the heart of this adventure. We’ll seek out cafés and roasters, follow the aroma to a great espresso or filter brew, and take time to enjoy what’s in the cup.
Neira Café Lab, Ursa Coffee Roasters, Milimétrica Coffee, and Puku Puku are a few of the coffee spots on Rob’s shortlist. Let’s find the cups we’ll keep coming back for.

A little Pacific air between delicious discoveries.
A side of Lima
Make room for ceviche, market discoveries, and a shared table of Peruvian food. There’s a whole city of flavor beyond the burger.
Wander Barranco, take in the Pacific views from Miraflores, and follow our curiosity through the neighborhoods between stops.
Good taste. Great company.
Our Lima adventure is about the discoveries we make together: a beer we’ll remember, a burger we’ll keep talking about, a remarkable cup of coffee, and a place we can’t wait to revisit.
