Mandala Beach Club describes itself as the “best daytime club in Cancun.” Located just south of Hotel Krystal Cancun, the beach venue hosts DJs like Good Boys and Madds. Mandala Beach Club will see huge crowds as spring break nears for colleges around the country.

Fans of the venue flocked to Cancun early to see Kennedy, who started his lively set with several chants and cheers.

The dog and cat dad was seen hyping up the crowd with lots of jumping. Wearing a lightweight white button-up and low-slung jeans, Kennedy showed off his toned physique as he poured alcohol into the mouths of front-row fans.

Kennedy has been notably sober once more on Vanderpump Rules. His girlfriend of two years, Ally Lewber, asked him to quit alcohol after he began drifting back into his old, problematic ways before filming the 11th season.

In 2023, the couple bought a home together in Burbank, California. Now, viewers are watching them navigate new homeownership with Graham, James’ dog he used to own with ex-VPR cast member Rachel LeViss.

The couple looked happy and in love, as they kissed onstage during Kennedy’s DJ set. Lewber, 28, has given her boyfriend a fresh perspective on sobriety and healthy living as they live and travel together. The astrologer from Dayton, Ohio, often joins Kennedy for his music gigs, and Cancun was no different.
