The bar scene has taken a turn for the worse, depending upon your perspective. Approximately a dozen gay bars in the Zona Rosa have been shuttered by the government during the past month and a half.
The Zona Rosa looks to be under redevelopment and gay friends of mine in the city tell me that the gay zone will be moving, gradually, to other areas. The action is still on the street, the people you pass or meet and then invite to your hotel.
Also, the sex shop on Genova is where lots of action is occurring. You pay to rent a video cabin - 30 pesos for 1/2 hour - then forget the video and just cruise the arcade. There's lots of action all day until 10 p.m. when it closes.
The Alameda Central park remains a good spot to pick guys up - some want money, some don't. Try to be out of that area by 10 p.m. because it becomes dangerous to be in or near the park after that.
