The space is small but the way your seated only makes it that much more intimate. The gentleman at the door who came out to help us translate was originally from Downtown LA. So that was pretty cool being that I too am from LA. The theme of the night as far as music was all soul and the singer did a killer James Brown impersonation. I feel like we found a hidden gem in the centro of Mexico City! Please make it part of your visit. You will be far from disappointed, promise!

We heard that we had to order food to get a drink so we got an order of guacamole to share. The sangria was light and refreshing with slices of apple, pear and cantaloupe. The piano player was playing popular broadway and musical tunes and the atmosphere was great! Loved finding this bar on a whim.

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.

This was one of the most uncomfortable and concerning experiences I've ever had…read more The bar was still open when my husband asked to use the restroom. The owner was in the bathroom area at the time and told him no. My husband respectfully asked why, since the place was still open and he genuinely needed to go. Instead of responding professionally, the owner became visibly aggressive and told him not to keep asking or he would send him back "in pieces." What makes this even more concerning is that this area is filled with tourists. It is definitely not worth visiting this place and risking your safety.. be aware of this " OWNER" who just hangs out in the bathroom. That's him the one looking at his phone!!!

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 bands play upstairs and there is seating downstairs, the music that was played downstairs was really good too, mostly just good ol' punk.

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.
