Batey is a gem. The mojitos are to die for. In general it's a trendy live music bar that really kills it on the mojito front. A man in a VW beetle cuts and presses fresh sugar can into absolutely perfect mojitos. The live music is played on a small intimate stage. You need to fight for a seat but our waiter found one in no time. You sit on rickety chairs and drink off tables made from scrap wood. It may sound uncomfortable but somehow it works. Maybe it's the gravel floor that make it feel like you are on a beach or the heavy mojitos and the beat of the live music that take your mind elsewhere. Make sure to come here for at least one night of your stay. Be ready for a great time. It's a great place. Cash only. Casual dress. read more

This place is great if you want a good Mexican breakfast. Super chill vibe, the inside is so cute in its own way and the staff is super nice. I tried the latte and it was 10/10 and the chilaquiles were also amazing. All 4 of our group was happy with the place and food. read more

Great mojitos and live music (I believe) every night. The mojitos are like nothing you've (probably) had -- made from scratch using pressed sugar cane, no processed sugar! They have about 8 different ones to choose from with different fruits and rums. They're not particularly stiff (nothing in Tulum was) but they're a piece of art for roughly $5 each. Bringing kids here was totally OK too. My daughter got a virgin mojito and the (almost entirely) tourist crowd loved having some kids to dance around them and provide comic relief while the music played. There was enough room on a Sunday night that everyone had plenty of space. read more

While on vacation we came here from a recommendation from a friend. Inside the place is a decent size and has stage for live music which someone was playing while we were there. Great music! They do have food but we only ordered drinks. Their specialty is mojitos so that's what we got. We ordered the Azteca and the Mediterraneo. Both were excellent and refreshing. They have a Volkswagen bug in the middle of the bar that presses the sugar cane used for the cocktails. It makes the drinks incredibly fresh and refreshing. We would definitely come back. read more

This place is really great. They specialize in mojitos, and get real crowded at night. We stopped by as a party of 5 for a drink, and weren't able to get seats as they were full house. They have a man in a car in the middle of the restaurant hand-grinding sugarcane juice for the mojito and it is a fun spectacle. You're welcome to help grind some, but let the professionals do it. I really like the boisterous casual ambience here. The mojitos are to die for. read more

Great mojito bar find in Tulum! They chop fresh sugar cane for your drinks in the bar. They also have live music, which for me at a bar is too loud. We sat near the entrance so we could have a conversation. Staff were friendly and service was quick. read more

My friends keep asking me about my trip to Tulum, and this is the very first thing that keeps coming to mind during my trip here. It reminded me of my days studying abroad where tons and tons of different ethnic groups, people from all over the world, and languages were in one small place - it was amazing. The live music was an added bonus and the vibe of the place was just fun and exciting. The freshly made mojitos were the cherry on top. At a simple 100$ pesos, they were delicious and affordable. I opted for two different kinds during my time here and they were both refreshing. I love how they churn their own sugar cane and then stick a sugar cane stick in each drink. It's those added touches that set this place apart from anywhere else we had been in Tulum. Already wanting to come back to this place! read more

Easily and by far the best mojito I've ever had. Not only was this the best mojito I've ever had, there were six options and every single one of them was better than any mojito I've ever had. Not a lot to eat here (they do serve complimentary two piece tomato / caper bruschetta), but what a cool vibe and it's open seating, which makes for a fun time! read more

You definitely need to stop in for a mojito and listen to live music if you find yourself in downtown Tulum. They make their drinks with fresh pressed sugar can that you can watch them do right next to the bar. Everyone working there was so happy and nice, made the environment that much better to just hang out and enjoy. I tried the classic mojito and the passionfruit one. the passionfruit was my favorite. Can get very busy at night especially on the weekends. Went on a Friday and Saturday for a drink and was able to get a table both times, but it was just my BF and me. Daydreamin' of going back!!! read more

These might be the best mojitos in North America. While in town for about a week, I believe I made it to Batey six out of seven days. The reason? The endless array of mojitos, all featuring sugar freshly pressed from a sugar cane expeller latched to an old VW Bug that sits in the middle of their restaurant. The process of watching these guys crank out sugary syrup from a fresh sugar cane alone is worth the visit, and the $120 peso price tag doesn't hurt either (about $5 USD). During busy nights, they shut down the street and you can enjoy your beverage al fresco on the outside. There are usually a few benches out front and it's a fun vibe. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't enjoy this experience, so bring the whole gang for some live music, great drinks, and an inexpensive way to catch a buzz in Tulum. read more

I noticed this place was one of the highest rated cocktail bars in Tulum known for their sugar cane Mojitos so we had to check it out. It was right down the street from where we had dinner so it was nicely located. Live music (loud), sugar cane cocktails, and only $100 pesos so what's not to love? Ambiance (4/5) Loud. The music is in Spanish and not native to tourists but it seemed like the locals loved it. It's definitely very loud and the closer you get to the stage, the louder you have to talk but my boyfriend and I got a table near the bar so it wasn't too bad. As the night went on, it got more crowded and they have signs that say "we share tables here". Might be a good way to mingle with other tourists or locals. Drinks (4/5) I tried to watermelon, ginger, and classic mojitos. The sugar cane is SO good (I'm a sucker for sweets hehe). I think there was a bit too much garnish in the drinks cause you couldn't take a sip without getting mint or something tossed in your mouth, but hey, it's a mojito whadya expect. The watermelon mojito was by far my favorite. Prices were not bad at all either. Drinks weren't very strong. Two drinks and I was slightly buzzed. Depends what you're looking for though! Service (3/5) The servers did not look like they worked there. They looked like the volunteered to just hand over drinks and just hang out amongst each other. Our waiter was even smoking while handing out drinks. Idk maybe that's just the casual vibe of the place but it was a thumbs down for me :/ The service wasn't rude or anything but definitely not high tip worthy. Overall I'd come back here for the drinks and the fun vibe. I'm sure when it gets later, the place is more poppin (we were there from 9-10:30 on a Thursday). The sugar cane is just such a big plus for me!! I just wouldn't come here expecting much service wise. read more

Great Mojitos at $100 pesos each, with fresh squeezed sugar cane! The service is very friendly but slow, but that's most of Mexico. The tuna tartare that I got wasn't great, the fish didn't taste too fresh but it wasn't bad -- I'd probably recommend to skip that one and maybe get the guacamole! Definitely recommend stopping by for a few mojitos though, those were top notch!! read more

Shout out to Josse from Edventure Tours for recommending Batey! The mojitos here are delicious - all of them. Order any flavor and you won't be disappointed. I personally liked the Maya and Tricolor. The drinks are made with fresh fruit and garnished with a stick of juicy sugarcane. My group arrived around 8pm on a Friday and the place was decently packed. They had a live performer from Spain on the stage doing a traditional dance and the seating area was bursting with energy. I can't figure out if I liked the drinks or the service more. Upon picking a table, a bubbly waiter sashayed down to us and greeted us as if we were old friends. If only I caught the guy's name. Everyone who worked there seemed to really enjoy being there and their attitude was contagious! read more

I am not usually a mojito person but you kinda have to try a mojito since that's Bateys specialty! The menu was all Spanish so the server had to explain all of it. By the time they explained the last few, I forgot the first few I got the Maya which was supposed to have a spicy kick to it. I would have expected the flavors to be a bit more robust but what do I know about mojitos! The live music was phenomenal. We also had the tuna and jicama tartare dish. I think it was called the Mediterranean. Loved the tuna, not a big fan of cubed jicama - too raw/bitter for my taste. The green sauce is very similar to green coriander chutney that is usually paired with samosas FYI. read more

We were looking for a restaurant that apparently closed down next door in the center of Tulum (one of the friendly staff here let us know). He said they offered breakfast here as well as options from neighboring restaurants, so we gave this place a shot after looking at the menu! I didn't expect such a delicious breakfast from a mojito bar but it was exactly what we were looking for. We got a variety of items- Eggs Rancheros, fruit plate, focaccia sandwich, continental breakfast and a variety of drinks (coffee, juice, mojitos and water). They hand crank the sugar cane here at the little mojito buggy which we were sitting right next to! The mojitos don't have a huge dose of alcohol, but we were mainly wanting to try it since it was made fresh. The staff here was very friendly and not pushy. I wish we could've stopped by at night for the live music- every day at 7PM we were told! I want to go back!! read more

Loved the place. Very chill vibe. Tried virgin mojito which was a bit too sweet to my taste but really good and inexpensive. Friendly staff and great lively jazz music. Definitely worth checking out!! read more

We loved their drinks so much here we had several. Fresh fruit, fresh sugarcane sticks and 100 pesos were a steal. The steak burrito was fantastic, the chicken was ok. Fun atmosphere but you can't beat their mojitos and margaritas. YUMMY! read more

Totally lives up to their title of Best Mojitos in town. Had one with ginger and it was the perfect mix of everything. Their table starters were great too. Different to the taste buds but delicious nonetheless. It's off the Main Street but next to a lot of other bar/restaurant places. Wish i was able to go at night since I've heard their live music is great. Only thing i didn't like was that they allow smoking inside so i sat closer to the door so i didn't have to inhale any of it since a lot of people were smoking. read more

My wife and I came here for the mojitos. I really wanted to like this place after reading all the reviews on here. I got the Maya mojito and she got the Maracuya (passion fruit). We also ordered a focaccia since we were hungry. The mojitos were ok (watered down & bland). Service was slower than most places in the area. The live music (even in the middle of the day) was really enjoyable. It sadly did not live up to the expectations. read more

This place was recommended by a local when we were in Tulum. We came for the mojito and it was hands down the best mojito I've ever had!! I ordered the most popular mojito - Passionfruit Mojito!! It was soooo good! Ingredients were very fresh and it was so cool that they use a sugar cane stick as a stirrer-- you can actually nibble on the sugarcane stick. There was also live music playing on the stage. The vibe was amazing all night long. It was busy night when we went. I definitely recommend coming here! They only accept cash so make sure you bring cash! No credit or debit card but there is an ATM a few blocks away. I wish i tired more than one flavor of their mojito read more

Positives: The sugar cane they put in your mojitos is a cool novelty and we enjoyed biting on them. Our server was a cutie. Great live music. Negatives: No happy hour. Our mojitos were only decent--overly sweet and tasted like cheap rum. read more

Great mojitos, great service and really cool little neighborhood. Only negative comment is the after 3 mojitos i barely felt a buzz so I don't think there was much alcohol in them. Would still come back though, just recommend asking for a double if you're trying to actually feel anything! read more

Batey is the best place for great mojitos, live music, and nightlife in Tulum! The mojitos are the absolute best! My favorite was the ginger. All the ingredients are super fresh and served with a stick of sugar cane which is fun to nibble on while stirring your drink. It gets very crowded as the night wears on, but the live entertainment they bring makes it such a fun atmosphere! The servers never make you sit with an empty drink and they have plenty of tapas type boards for you to order to snack on while watching the various entertainment. Batey is my favorite place in Tulum! read more

aaaaaalright Batey, I see you. Batey is a must visit. The mojitos are world famous and I loved every.single.one. That said, in the mornings they brew a mean coffee and also don't forget the Guarapos! Watermelon was my favorite. Every drink is served with a sugar cane, which is like a sugar lovers dream. The service was always amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better quick stop for a take away drink or place to hang and listen to local artists. I loved every moment we spent at Batey!

I'm not a mixed drink person, but I had to try a mojito while I was there. They have a wide variety of mojitos infused with other fruits or flavors and you get to choose the rum. I had the passion fruit with, if my memory is correct, a Cuban rum. It was delicious, although really sweet, which is why I normally don't do mixed drinks. They have plenty of additional alcoholic and non-alcoholic smoothie like drinks as well. Really fun time on the back patio listening to live music. Just a heads up the speakers are too loud to carry a conversation if you're out back, but there is seating inside and in front of the bar. I saw some folks eating there, but I don't think I saw food on a menu. Maybe they brought it in? read more
