Pata Negra is easily one of the best bars I visited in Mexico City--both for the cocktails and the…read moreatmosphere. I was captivated by the warm, eclectic ambiance--shelves stacked with old books, cozy little crannies, and fascinating antique items tucked into every corner. It felt like stepping into a hidden gem where every detail added to the charm. I ordered the As de Corazones, a gin-based cocktail with raspberry, egg white foam, and a spritz finish. It was hands-down the best cocktail I had in CDMX--beautifully balanced, slightly tart, and perfectly smooth. I also tried the Josita, which was incredibly refreshing (and deceptively strong!), making it the perfect drink to sip on while soaking in the atmosphere. Service was friendly and attentive, with bartenders who clearly know their craft. Whether you're a cocktail lover or just looking for a great spot to unwind, Pata Negra is a must-visit. (I even went back as a goodbye to CDMX on my last night)

They had a few TVs with some sports on which is why we chose this place. Service was friendly, and quick to take your initial order but after that it was kinda hard to order a second or third drink you really had to flag them down. We came back on a second visit and they were out of some of the beers we ordered the previous visit. On the plus side the beers were ice cold. Much colder than out of the refrigerator which made it so easy to drink.

Lowlights: - Cocktails were not good. Tasted bland, one dimensional, and flavors didn't match the descriptions. - Took a while to get drinks: over a half hour from rez time - Was very hot and loud -- even at 5pm - Didn't even stay to try another drink--which is unusual for us

We had a very nice bartender who was new at making cocktails she said, but nevertheless made some very tasty cocktails. Our favorite was the Morena, and we also liked the mezcalina a lot.

Most of the cocktails were well priced at 79 pesos, so if you're in the mood for a beer or a mezcal, you should give it a try

The staff was also very friendly and happy to try to recommend a cocktail that would fit my preferences. For the vibe alone, this is worth a visit!

This is such a cool authentic mezcal bar with a fantastic atmosphere. It immediately gave me…read morespeakeasy vibes, with its intimate setting, moody lighting, and authentic Mexican feel. Definitely not a touristy place, this is where locals go. There are so many mezcal options to choose from, whether you want to try it straight or in one of their cocktails. And be warned--the drinks are strong, as mezcal cocktails should be! They also bring out some complimentary snacks to enjoy with your drinks, which is a lovely touch. Service was excellent--everyone was friendly, welcoming, and happy to help with the mezcal selection. This place fills up FAST. We went on a Monday around 10 PM and managed to grab a couple of high stools at one of the side tables, but not long after, the place was packed and it was difficult to even walk through. Given how popular it is even on a Monday night, I can definitely see why. We walked here, which I'd recommend if you're staying nearby, or consider taking an Uber rather than trying to deal with parking in the area. A fantastic little bar for mezcal lovers and anyone looking for a unique, intimate night out. The atmosphere alone makes it worth visiting!

Overall, liked my experience here. Came here with a friend on a weekend night and it was packed,…read morebut we didn't have to wait more than 5-10 minutes to get "seated". I say seated with parenthesis because most people end up standing here but we got lucky that a couple was leaving as we were right next to them after being asked our drink orders. It's kind of a weird system that they have and I think the staff didn't realize we didn't have our drink orders taken yet and asked the people behind us for theirs which was slightly annoying. It was a bit chaotic so I can see why it happened, but I do think they need a slightly better system. Anyways, the drinks were excellent and I love that they gave us a little small snack that included crickets (which I hadn't tried before yet). The vibes in here are really nice too. I love the dim lighting and the almost rock/clay atmosphere. The bathroom area is smaller than I was expecting but it was ok. I'd definitely return!

Their doubles are served more like quadruples yay them! My fiancé appreciated his whiskey pour. BEST CEASER SALAD I HAVE EVER TASTED. Our appetizer was great (the name was funny so not sure) it was Argentinean cheese on the grill with baguette and tomato. I've never tasted any cheese like this, my fiancé thought it was chicken. Did I say they have the BEST CEASER SALAD EVER (add the chicken it's delicious). Oh and I'm normally not a fan of ceaser. However full disclosure, the dressing is made like it was created, oil, egg, dijon and anchovies (no you can't taste the anchovies)! The burger was just the icing on the cake - chef's kiss x 100!

Eve award: best bar in the world (the 50 best bar people should've officially kept it there 2025 to 2026) Highlights: - Cocktails: all were top notch and delightfully balanced - Willy Wonka style magic: peanut butter and jelly and Cookie Monster as examples. Incredible to have these liquids taste like their namesakes--but not in a super sweet but smooth quality way. Pb and j came with a crazy white chocolate rendition of the sandwich and Cookie Monster their own version of an Oreo - Olive oil tequila gimlet: never would normally order this but it was delightful. Almost a butterscotch taste and a nice large green olive sitting at the bottom. - Whiskey cocktail: short was clarified and lovely - Staff: world class, top notch, could not imagine any better. Highly skilled, professional, welcoming, and fun. My niece had a few sips left in her martini drink and they transferred it to a newly chilled glass. I've never seen that done before and it was so classy. - Vibe: perfection. Classy, comfortable, and fun. Lightening was perfect: dark enough for mystery but light enough you could see. Volume just right as well. Bar seating plus few low tables. - Bar with front row seat to the drinks being created - Bar snack mix: always love this being provided. This one had almonds, sunflower seeds, and crunchy crickets! Tasted fine to me. Midlights: - For 2026 ranked #6 bar in the world but #12 in North America. That's perplexing. I vote #1 for both Lowlights: - Can be hard to get a reservation even booking exactly when your date is ready

My highlights were the welcome of every one of their team as you walk in and the goodbye you get. I also liked that they gave you towel to wipe your hands. The drinks were a bit lackluster. They sat us at the bar in front of the mixologist so we expected to get drinks mixed right in front of us but instead we got them poured out of containers where they had already been pre-batched. Not the crafted cocktails I was looking for. The dim lighting, bubbles for birthdays and friendly service was what I loved. The drinks left me wanting more. Worth going once to see if it's your vibe.
