A slice of a traditional English pub in the Plaza de Armas, Cross Keys is probably the city's most celebrated bar. Open since 1986, long before Cusco experimented the current tourist boom, this pub -decorated with autographed posters, football memorabilia, and tons of photographs and postcards- has a nice view of the cathedral from its colonial balcony.

You can play darts or pool, watch English sports on cable TV, or simply chat around and have a drink. The menu includes burgers, pizzas, and curry snacks; they also serve a full English breakfast and delightful coffees and hot chocolate. There are two happy hours: from 6pm to 7pm and from 9 to 9.30pm.

The place is owned by versatile Barry Walker, who is also an expert ornithologist, let alone owner of Manu Expeditions and British consul in Cusco.
