It's a cool place, the staff are really helpful and friendly (even to those who don't speak a lot of Spanish..), and all of the bands we saw were a lot of fun. The nights we were there, it was ska core, oi, and some rocksteady. The bands play upstairs and there is seating downstairs, the music that was played downstairs was really good too, mostly just good ol' punk. One last note: ladies, take toilet paper with you, as there isn't always any in the bathroom

Jules bar is advertised as a hidden speakeasy in Polanco that is located underneath a taqueria. The…read morebar is tourist friendly and cocktails are reasonably priced. Come early as there is usually a line before entering the bar. Atmosphere: to enter into the bar, you have to go downstairs through a refrigerator. In contrast to the bright colors of the taqueria upstairs, Jules was adorned with leathered walls, studded ceilings, and skeletons as table centerpieces. While trendy, it did come off as a little cheesy. Nonetheless, decor did reflect the vibe it was going for. There was limited seating, so if you have a large party would recommend going there early if you have a big party. Later in the night, there is a DJ who plays techno/dance music tends to draw in large crowds of people. Brings in a mixed crowd. Service: Service at the beginning of the night was good, although servers were less attentive as the night got later and more people were entering the bar. Cocktails: The bar offers a good variety of drinks and cocktails--which I can see why people would want to go back to Jules again. My group of friends and I tried about 8 different cocktails and the only one I enjoyed was the Low Key. The Low Key is comparable to a whiskey soul with mezcal garnished with tamarind candy. I did not care much for the other drinks, as some of them were overly sugary.

It's a decently large class filled with lots of different people so it's easy to make friends with others and laugh along the way. After the class the band is ALWAYS amazing. Tons of people drinking, eating, and dancing. If you're a girl, be prepared to get asked to dance by a host of different fellas. Im in my 20s and danced with a couple of men who had to be in their 70s !! Overall, great place to go to meet new people and dance the night away.

Fun if you are HERE to dance salsa all night, but not really for much else…read more Cover is a little steep for what you get, and seating is extremely limited - be prepared to be shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers the whole night. Food and drinks are priced pretty typically for Roma, so nothing crazy there. The crowd is mostly regulars who just come to dance. When I went there were no dance classes or instructors, so if you're a beginner expecting a lesson, don't count on it. If you love salsa and want to dance non-stop, you'll have a great time. If you want to sit, chat, and have drinks, this probably isn't the spot for you.

Here's what sets the Black Horse apart from other bars in the same price demographic in la Condesa…read more The Black Horse has live original music (not cover bands) multiple nights a week. On top of that there's never a cover charge to get in. If you've spent a number of years in Mexico, like I have, it's not easy to find good live original music without paying a 200 peso cover. A good mix of foreigners and locals makeup the clientele. There are weekly promotions worth checking into as well.

Not only was she…read moreinattentive to us, never once checked up on us, but was on her phone and visibly irritated when asking for the check. She needs heavy retraining in customer service. A shame that this was my first impression of Mexico City. She didn't even offer a receipt, just took my card swiped it and even had the audacity to ask for a tip. lol (mind you in a condescending way). Out of being gracious, I have a tip but I hope she learns that people bring business to their establishment and can easily take it away. What a disappointing experience. Who is her supervisor? Would love to speak with them directly about her behavior. She's rude and I hope no other person that tries to bring business to them is treated the same way. Would LOVE to speak to a supervisor about her.

So make sure you check every floor for all the flavors they have to offer at that time. During our trip, some of the flavors we tried were grape, insurgentes, natural (aka plain), strawberries & cream, and mango. My favorite of the bunch was strawberries & cream! You really can't go wrong with any of the flavors - they're all (not too) sweetly flavored and have that fermented taste. Kinda like kombucha but milkier and fluffier. We stopped by here twice during our short trip. Highly recommend!

Our server was nice, but unfortunately they were out of some things including food options. I tried pulque for the first time and it was alright. It kind of made me tired (??), anyways... opted for the nachos and found them to be extremely basic and underwhelming. It was actually worse than a typical sporting event nachos. The cheese was cold and the chips they use weren't good.
