This was a highlight of my trip to Tulum. Came here multiple times. The vibe is awesome, and the live music is amazing. Don't be shy to get up and dance between the tables, as many people did on one of the nights they have a salsa band. All I had here were mojitos, because they're easily the BEST mojitos I've ever had. Fresh and omg so delicious. Always a crowd, so seating may be a bit of a challenge at times. We always got lucky and found a great spot close to the band. read more

A mojito wonderland! Great spot in town for cheap and strong drinks...plus they are mojitos so they make them all to order. Really great spot that is a lively area where you can bar hop. read more

Ive been here 3x on my vacation and would come back every night for the rest! Their mojitos with the sugar cane sticks... to die for!! I recommend the passion fruit, its like no other. The tacos were also the best ive had. Ive never talked about cochanitas more in my life!! Definitely a must :) read more

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

I really enjoyed the drinks and the chill vibe here. It was exciting watching the World Cup and interacting with foreigners here. The drinks here are really unique and they juice their sugarcane in a cart here! Awesome experience and great drinks! I highly recommend the Passionfruit Mojito -- one of the best mojitos I've had! read more

The best mojitos. Whether looking for a place to go at night or just a midday stop to escape the heat, you won't be disappointed.

Never ate here but we had drinks and it's a really cool place. Usually some kind of live music in the back every night. They use fresh pressed sugar cane juice in their cocktails and there's a guy in the middle of the place, inside a VW Bug, pressing it right in front of you. They're known for mojitos which aren't really my thing but you gotta try one anyway. They're great and it's worth letting a place try an impress you with what they're know for. This place stays live all night, sometimes until 5am. It is the heart of Tulum's nightlife. Located in the middle of a road(forget the name) that is the main nightlife section. Really a cool place to tie one on. People from all over the world, local vendors, food fun and drink. Batey is a really cool spot and if you plan on being out late in Tulum you're gonna end up here. read more

This is a fairly decent spot for a night out. We went on a weekend so the bar was crowded and the server told us to seat ourselves on whichever tables we found spots. We ended up splitting up, but stuck around because the live band was good. However the drinks were okay and service is not attentive at all. Definitely over-rated. We were quite disappointed as so many people had recommended this bar! There are much better places with better quality food, beverages and music so would not really recommend this spot. read more

This place was paaaacked! The music was great and a total vibe. Very cute and different decor. Only issue is they take cash only so we didn't stay long. read more

Very fun place with amazing staff, incredibly friendly. They gave us the most delicious mezcal always with a smile, and they even chatted with us for a good while. Very limited drink menu but overall a wonderful experience with a great atmosphere. Highly suggested. read more

If you find yourself looking for a fun date night or fun with your friends, go here. Order a watermelon mojito and you'll have the best time. My favorite bar in the middle of tulum. read more

Batey (Baaah-tay) is the B E S T. We stayed around the corner from the bar when we were in town and spent several afternoons just sitting around drinking all the mojitos. Honestly not only the best mojitos I've ever had, but some of the most refreshing cocktails in general. They use freshly cut sugar cane in each of the drinks. Do yourself a favor and order the watermelon or passion fruit ones. SO good. I desperately want to try and make these at home. They're like the minty tears of god fell into your cold glass on a humid ass day. Heaven. The live music is a blast too. I recommend going twice - once on a Friday or Saturday evening (you might have to wait for a seat, but just have a mojito or 3 while you stand) and then again on like, Tuesday afternoon while no one else is there. read more

This place is great except, the staff will try to make you go to an ATM and still beg for a tip. First off, if you make me walk 10 mins because you don't want to take my VISA, you are not getting a good tip. They accept VISA, don't let them fool you. Refuse to pay or speak with the manager until they do. They attempt to scam tourists here and be careful outside. There are locals selling every drug you can imagine and it feels extremely unsafe at night. And the cops on the weekends will attempt to extort you for money. Very sketchy area at night. read more

This is a little place of the beaten path but it is must stop. Excellent drinks with a small buffet. Building has so much character and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I will differently be returning before my vacation is over. read more

Batey - Classico mojito - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tulum, ROO

When in Tulum, you just have to try this place. It is known for the best mojitos in the world and is widely popular in Tulum. Located right in the center of little Tulum town, it's easy to spot with a big brightly colored VW bug in front of it where a man chops and presses pure sugar cane for the mojitos. It can't really get more authentic than that. Mind you, it is always busy! The atmosphere is upbeat and a lot of fun, with mostly people from around the world who have now settled in beautiful Tulum. HAVE THE PASSION FRUIT MOJITO & thank me later. It is magical. I will ABSOLUTELY be back to support this spot at my next visit! It also has live music and people dance in the front. Great bar. LOVE BATEY!!! read more

Delicious mojitos, vibes and people! Went one night while wandering in the town and ended up staying until they closed. They had live music and a guy went around painting your face. I had such a great time! read more

Batey - Face paint - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tulum, ROO

Awesome experience and refreshing drinks!!! You definitely have to check this little gem out if you're in the area. The atmosphere was so inviting and everyone around you is so friendly and having a great time. It was super packed on a Thursday night that we visited but we were able to find a little barrel with 2 chairs that we used as a table. The band they had that night was playing great music! Lots of locals so you know they must be doing something right. I ordered the passion fruit mojito and my BF got the ginger mojito. Great size and very refreshing for a hot Tulum night! read more

Passion fruit mojito!! loved the entire atmosphere. Music was great. The sugar cane being pressed right out front was a nice touch. read more

Batey - Passion fruit mojito! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tulum, ROO

We probably came here 3 nights out of the 5 we stayed. The live music is absolutely great and gets packed quickly. You're transported to another dimension. The drinks were delicious. Fresh sugarcane juice with your drinks and friendly waiters. Haven't tried the food but over all amazing. read more

Amazing spot! A couple people in Tulum recommended this spot and had to check it out. The vibe is amazing here. The live bands usually play a mix of jazz and reggae but are so good! We wanted to try the passionfruit mojito ( most popular one) but they were sold out so I got the cucumber one which was still a hit. I recommend getting seats close to stage. read more

Mojitos are amazing. The sugar cane is pressed on site and the staff are very friendly to non native speakers. I fully recommend.

Great mojitos and chips and guacamole! The sugar cane stick in my drink was a great touch and I loooved the cucumber (pepino) mojitos read more

A grungy dark bar on a side street off the main drag that is quite a bit bigger once you enter. However, sitting on the street people watching is the draw.....and so are the legendary mojitos. Passion fruit is by far the best. Stiff and affordable. Very pleasant wait staff as well. read more

This is a very chill, super cool bar that feels like something from back in the early 2000s. The waiters are all easy going and very helpful in suggesting drinks. There were two bands playing when I went, one old ragtime and the other was rock. The music was awesome. But the mojitos. Well, maybe I'm just not into them. If you are, come here. If you aren't, maybe come and get chips and salsa?? I tried another drink outside of their famous mojitos and it essentially tasted like the mojitos I had just drank. I like this bar but not their drinks. Read this with a grain of salt though obviously. read more

This had such a good vibe. Recommended by the manicurist in town at Avena Nails, who also did a great job. Great music, great location, great diversity and delicious drinks. read more

Really delicious mojitos! (insert drool emoji) they place fresh sugar canes in the drinks which I thought was a straw at first. I would take a sip of my mojito and then chew on the sugar cane back and forth. I don't know if that's the way to do it but it worked for me! I would say the best tasting mojitos in Tulum! read more

The drinks here are amazing! They make their own fresh cane juice on site! They have so many amazing fruit flavor options. We tried the ginger, watermelon, passionfruit, and the cane flavor cocktails. I asked to sub out the rum for tequila and they were very accommodating :) highly recommend this place for drinks! We tried some other places after we left here and wished we had stayed here our entire night. read more

Simply the best margaritas and atmosphere for a night out. Come for live music, good vibes, and delicious well crafted drinks. They are all made with natural cane sugar and are delicious. read more

Loved this place. The drinks are amazing and the vibe is even better. We stayed in the zona hotelera in Tulum and drove downtown for a more authentic atmosphere and Batey did not disappoint. Also there is this man ( unfortunately we didn't get his name) that is always there (not sure if he's the owner or manager) but he makes you feel right at home! I'd recommend Batey to anyone in the Tulum area looking for a fun night out. read more

It was watered down. Not worth the money. Doesn't have happy hour. They do have live music though

If you're ever in Tulum, do visit Batey Mojito! Between the 4 of us, we ordered 4 different kinds of mojitos and loved them all There's live music There's free wifi!! There's free wifi!! Did I say, there's free wifi!! Drinks are very reasonably priced The staff is friendly! What more does one need - a good drink and company of good friends! read more

this is a very cool and hip bar but unfortunately the drinks were weak and if you order a premium rum, you might get something of lower quality. After 3 of their mojitos I didn't have a hint of a buzz. stick to beers here instead of their overpriced cocktails read more

Our airbnb host suggested this as they make the mojito with sugar cane and had live music. Prices were more than a lot of places in Tulum pueblo (100 pesos for a mojito) but not outrageous. I had the maya mojito (with habenero) and BOY was it spicy. I wouldn't recommend as it overpowers the other flavors. The gf had the standards and it was awesome! Definitely check it out, very cool. read more

The turn up is real at night. Many of our taxi drivers recommended this location. They also have ladies night (when I was there I think it was Thursday evening?) where drinks are way cheap Edit: no actually I think I might be thinking of Kahlua for ladies night read more

Wow! Cheese plate was amazing, curry chicken was flavorful and a nice portion, live music was incredible, & the passion fruit mojito was the best I had during my stay in Tulum, MX. read more

Amazing mojitos and margaritas for a great price! I came here a few times with friends since our hotel was right down the street. It was a very cool chill vibe here when we went and they have a live band. The bar tenders were really helpful deciding on which drinks we'd like based on our preferences. I definitely recommend this place for some of the freshest mojitos you'll ever have! read more

Batey - Cucumber mojito - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tulum, ROO

The best mojitos I've ever had. Anywhere. Fresh sugarcane pressed directly into your drink while fresh lime and mint are muddled and swirled with delicious white rum. This is such a cool dive with a great vibe. Again - the Italian ex pats are at work. Anyone ever seen the movie The Talented Mr. Ripley? Remember how thrilling those scenes on the southern Italian Mediterranean were with the advent of jazz, cocktails, glistening water and sun-scorched cafes? Batey Mojito reminds me of the fun celebrations in that movie with riotous jazz, small cafes and smokey stylish buzz. And so affordable to boot. Win! read more

I hate bursting people bubbles, but this was not a "fav" spot for me. Yes they make good drinks, and they make them strong but there is nothing special about this place. Yes the raw pressed sugar cane is cool. Yes, I enjoyed watching them press it. I think a lot of people like this place because their drinks are strong and cheap. read more

You need to visit this place, the vibe is cool, the right mix between hippie and hipster, live music every day( Jam sessions are lovely ), the drinks are really really good and the staff is super charming, you'll love it. I came every night, you can't get enough of it. read more

Decent atmosphere, extremely slow service. Server did not care about us at all. Guacamole was tasty and the beers were cold, but took 20+ minutes to get a beer more than once and even longer to get out guacamole. read more
