Best Bars in CDMX

Niv Bar Mexico City

Along with the immaculate food, Mexico City has been recognized for its artistic cocktail culture and has everything from top-ranked speakeasies to natural wine bars, and even some mezcal-only establishments.

Hugo Wine Bar

If you’re a fan of natural and orange wines, this is the place to be! This trendy bar is the spot for some real gossip, small apps, and a great time.

Ticuchi

Ticuchi was started by Mexican chef Enrique Olvera, who is behind Pujol, known as one of the world’s 50 best restaurants. This dark bar has a large focus on agave spirits with a never-ending list of mezcals. The food here is also immaculate, with a take on Oaxacan cuisine.

Caiman

Caiman is hands down my favourite bar in Mexico City. The crowd is always a great mix of locals and expats. I would be very surprised if you didn’t make a friend while sipping on a mezcalita here.

Tlecan

Voted one of North America’s 50 best bars in 2024, Tlecan bartenders put on a show to make your cocktail. The bar pays homage to prehispanic culture, with cocktails crafted by Pujol’s beverage director Eli Martinez.
