El Salvador sneaks up on you: in lefty lounge bars in San Salvador, at sobering museums and war memorials, and along lush cloud-forest trails; it's a place of remarkable warmth and intelligence, made all the more appealing for being so unexpected.

Bares lounge modernos
En este contexto, creo que lefty significa "moderno". Podes ver este enlace.
trendy ['trendɪ] adj (trendier, trendiest) fam
1 (persona) (ultra)moderno,-a: you're just so trendy, estás siempre tan a la última
familiar trendy lefty, progre
2 (ropa) a la última moda
http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=tre...
Y podes dejar bares lounge. Buscalo en Internet, vas a ver que se usa mucho.

bares izquierdistas
Since there's no evidence that native-speakers of English use "lefty" to mean "modern" or "trendy," I'll go with the common meaning in the context of politics (which seems to fit just fine).
Another option might be "bares tipo 'alternative'" :-)

It's important to point out that the use of the term "lefty" (by conservatives) is not all uncommon, especially among older folks, the same ones who might be inclined to use the word "pinko" or "pinko-commie" in this same disparaging way.

IN RESPONSE TO NORMA:
To what extent are you basing your evaluation of these translations on the meaning of "lefty" in English, and not on a particular meaning that this word may have in the (unique) Spanish of certain countries (como los significados muy especiales de "(un) beauty" y "(un) four-track" en la República Dominicana y en Puerto Rico)?

el párrafo termina así:
"And when it comes to cities, none in Central America is smarter or cooler than San Salvador, with first-rate universities, museums and galleries, a vibrant ***bar*** and live-music scene, and an array of progressive NGOs, both local and international.

Me parece que la interpretación de "bares izquierdistas" encaja bastante bien con "an array of progressive NGOs"... ¿qué opináis?
adj.
1. done or used with the left hand
2. associated with the political left
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lefty
deduzco estos dos sentidos posibles:
1. bares para zurdos
2. bares para izquierdistas
lamentablement si se trata de 1. no puedo ir yo, pero si se trata de 2., que ¡sí! *sonrisa*
