We swung by Gin Gin to end a fun Lucha Libre night. The gin options were extensive! We loved our cocktails. We also ordered some chips and guac and papas bravas for the table and some fried grasshopper for my adventurous friends. The food wasn't great in my opinion and rightfully so, because this place is more of a bar. The ambience was chic and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The service was fast. Overall, a nice bar to end the night. read more

Our server Jessica was kind and attentive, but everything else about our visit was terrible. The menu was extremely limited and not at all what we expected. The managers and other staff were cold, dismissive, and made it obvious they were watching us the entire time, creating an uncomfortable and hostile atmosphere. It felt intentionally unwelcoming and completely ruined the experience. No guest should ever be treated this way. Very disappointing, and we will not be returning. read more

The ambiance/vibes here are pretty nice and even in a Thursday night they had a DJ playing music which was appreciated (although I felt that it was a bit too loud to have a good conversation with someone). I think my complaints are as follows: 1) the prices. I found it to be pretty pricey. For 4 cocktails plus a 10% standard tip, it was about $1,450 pesos (around $75 USD). There's definitely other places where you can find better quality drinks for less. 2) the drinks. I tried several and even someone else's and thought they weren't anything special. It's obviously a Gin-themed bar so I'd say stick to Gin if possible, but overall was not impressed. 3) service. It wasn't that great honestly. The staff wasn't that friendly and they definitely forgot one of my drink orders when I asked. Overall, meh. I'd skip. read more

Wish I had seen these reviews before we stopped for drinks here. What a joke... crappy music and weak pours/drinks... and while no one was in the place! No way to do business... read more

Gin Gin - 3-4 oz...? Pretty sad pour... - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Ciudad de México, DIF

Good drinks and DJ. But if you want to eat don't bother with this place. We ordered the pizza and were told our food order would take an hour. We waited 1 hours and 45 minutes for food that never arrived.No apologies given for lateness by any of the staff. We walked away hungry and disappointed. Would not recommend. Los tragos y DJ fueron estupendo. Pero si quieren comida no pierdan su tiempo aquí. Pedimos una pizza que nos dijeron tomaría una hora en preparar. Espéranos 1 hora 45 minutos y nada. Nadie nos dio disculpas. No fuimos con hambre y decepcionados. No recomiendo este sitio. read more

Gin Gin was a great find. As you would expect by the name they have an extensive gin collection. All the drinks we had were perfectly crafted. The fruits and tonic were of great quality and accompanied the chosen gins very well. This is more of a costly place but one of those that you get what you pay for.. thought it was very well worth it. The croquettes were amazing. They would hold their own to any in Spain. If you like craft cocktails done on a higher level this is a stop for you. read more

I don't know why this place has mediocre reviews. Maybe it's because we came on a Thursday night, but the service was amazing. We had the option of ordering something from the menu or opting for them to create a custom cocktail based on what we like. All cocktails were great. We came because we are big fans of gin and the hookah is always a plus. Consider coming on a weekday. Overall great experience! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience for cocktails that are on the pricier side but you pay for the vibe. read more

If you like Gin cocktails, you cannot miss Gin Gin in la Roma. We went on a Friday night and it was not too full, we were able to get a table for five people right away. The server was very useful helping us find Gin cocktails to suit our taste and they did not disappoint. There was a DJ playing some old reggeaton and , although there was no oficial dance floor, we were all dancing and singing around our table. Music was loud, so it was more of a party/ dancing night than talking to friends. It is rather upscale and the prices on the higher end of the spectrum so make sure to be prepared to spend higher prices than your average Mexican bar.. read more

Excellent service, ambiance, and hookah. Miguel took care of us and is a star. Thank you, Miguel!

There's lots of locations nearby so make sure you pick the right one. This location had a sort of edm vibe and the waiter was super attentive!! He recommended drinks and also offered to make one to my linking. Didn't order food since we just came here for drinks. No waiting time to be seated! Loved this place. A little on the higher side as far as price read more

Very cute outdoor lit patio with heaters and great upscale atmosphere. I had the negroni (one of my favorite drinks!) but it was a bit underwhelming with the flavor and watery ice- for the price especially I was hoping for something more of a stand out. The inside was very loud and wild, while the outside was cozy and welcoming. There are so many places to get a great drink in CDMX, so I'm not sure this makes the top of my list here. read more

This is a hard review to write because so many things were good but so many things were not so good. We came in with the plan to eat dinner and have drinks but after a disappointing plate of aguachile we decided to just have two appetizers. The aguachile was lacking in flavor and the shrimp were completely raw. the potatoes on the other hand were perfect. The service here is impeccable and you're constantly checked on/helped. Can't say anything but great things about their staff. I do highly recommend getting cocktails here. They are very very good. As for pricing you can expect upscale prices and can pay card or cash. Oh also random PSA but at some point during dinner they dim all the lights and all you have is a candle. It's very intimate but also hard to see read more

There are several locations throughout CDMX, but this location is in popular Roma Norte. A friend and I went here for a drink (we ended up with two drinks!) on a random Wednesday evening around 9 p.m. in July. The space is HUGE with two levels, a long bar, and even a DJ playing tunes. (It's a little louder than other bars, but it's part of the experience.) They have food, but focus on the massive drink menu. They feature gin drinks, but they sell a variety of cocktails made with other liquors. If you like sweeter drinks, the bramble was delicious. I had two. They bring a small, complimentary plate of olives to your table. As you drink, the server checks in one you and you're offered hookah at least once or twice. read more

This was my second time visiting this location. The first time around we had a great experience so decided to visit again on our trip to Mexico City. We were celebrating a bday, party of 5. Showed up and we were taken to our table right away. After our host finding out we were celebrating a bday, they said they'd bring us shots. Shortly after, they brought out shots, sparklers and small dessert. They proceeded to take our drink orders. Everyone in our party was satisfied with the drinks. All of us ordered different drinks and nothing negative to say. We ordered appetizers with our drinks and had to send them back because they were warm. As if they had been prepared a while ago and had been sitting there. Two people in our party got their food and the reset of us waiting about 20 mins AFTER to finally get ours. When it finally came out, it was incorrect. Had to send it back. Ended up just asking for our check as it had literally been over an hour by now. They brought out the check and come to find out that the celebratory shots were not on the house, nor were they house tequila. No sir. They gave us top shelf shit. Our bill for just the shots was over $200 Fine, not complaining about paying for them but I'm complaining about the fact that they didn't tell us that these were purchased shots as they made it seem like they were on the house as a celebratory shot for the birthday. The manager ended up discounting our food. Grateful for that gesture. Left feeling disappointed as we had high hopes for the night. read more

We ABSOLUTELY LOVED our cocktails here. Even my friend who doesn't love Gin liked hers. The vibe was good with a DJ playing good music and attentive servers. We didn't the any food here, but we had a good time for drinks. read more

For cocktails only: We wanted to do a little bar hopping before dinner. Gin Gin was after Limonator. My friend wanted to stop by because she saw how "pretty" the drinks were. They were definitely pretty cocktails, very picturesque. But also twice the price of any other bar on that street, and the drinks while good didn't taste like they had any alcohol in it. Just full of sugar. Service started out good but towards the end when we told them we had to go for a dinner reservations and asked for the bill, they seem to ignore us. We asked 5 times and then my husband got frustrated and went to the bar and said give us our check or were walking out. We finally got the check. Not sure what that was about?? read more

It was a rainy Sunday night when five American tourists were trying to find a bar, any bar, that was open and had decent drinks for a late dinner. Enter Gin Gin - instantly recognizable for its pulsing music, gothic atmosphere, and sharply dressed ushers. We were quickly shown to a table outside and a waiter in white gestured to the small coat racks to hang our touristy things and the QR codes to access the English/Spanish menu online. It wasn't super crowded, but everyone else was a tourist or ex-pat looking to lounge. Prices certainly reflect this. Their specialty (as the name implies) is gin-based drinks, but perhaps a flag should have been raised when they were out of the gins used in many of their cocktails. Fine. We settled on a few of the cocktails they did have, which were tasty but not very gin-y. The food is mostly tapas/pintxos style bites. While the Papas Fritas and Tacos were good, the food was mostly lukewarm and pretty standard for your neighborhood bar. The kicker is that we all ended up getting food poisoning from here later as well, likely from the tuna in the Toradito de Atun. Hookah in many flavors is offered here, presented in the standard fashion. Everyone gets their own individually wrapped disposable mouthpiece to share in the COVID distribution (jk). The redeeming quality of Gin Gin is that the service is great, with all of the house staff being very friendly and accommodating. They quickly moved two tables together when we arrived to adapt to our larger group, and as soon as there was even a hint of rain we were quickly resettled inside socially distanced from other guests. The music is chest-pounding loud so not much more conversation was had once inside. I won't be returning, but can see this as a decent lounge if you stay away from the food and don't mind paying up. read more

Absolutely LOVED Gin Gin. My sister and I only came for drinks to end the night, and I'm glad we did! The service was fast and friendly, the drinks were delicious! We had no ideas they had hookah, and ordered one to share. The ambiance was very cool and dark and seemed like a great date spot. We really enjoyed the dj, which made the experience even better! Next time we are in CDMX, we will definitely be back! This was our favorite place hands down! read more

The whole check was over $100 USD. The food was cold and not quality. They do hooka indoor hooka, not advertised. If you dont smoke, just imagine. The drinks were bland. The pizza was like a microwave pizza. Fried food was cold. They charged us $ 10 USD for the starting water. They also charged the IVA, sales tax, separate, aditional to the advertised price which is not typical in the city. You want to waste money come here. read more

Gin Gin - Worst place - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Ciudad de México, DIF

Oh dear. So, my partner actually enjoyed Gin Gin the first time he went and said CDMX has multiple locations because it's a sign the business is doing well. It's definitely not the vibe I expected. I was hoping for a gin bar, not a nightclub. We were seated in a side room and felt like the servers hovered around our table for conversation the whole time we were there. The music was too loud, and it was too dark to look at the extensive menu. I ordered some sort of martini, while my partner got a (non-alcoholic) ginger soda. The drinks themselves were subpar and certainly not strong, as I've found is the case throughout CDMX. Service was great but unimpressed with everything that actually makes Gin Gin a bar, including drinks and ambiance. read more

We made a reservation for 9 ahead of time and were promptly seated upon arrival. The music here was incredibly loud and honestly a bit too much. The drinks were pretty weak and couldn't taste much alcohol. The reason for the 1 star was the brazen attempt to steal our friends credit card. One of the waiters took the credit card and bill from our table and never returned. When we asked them for the bill, they claimed that we never gave them the credit card in the first place. Thankfully they had cameras at the place otherwise the manager wouldn't have believed us. The cameras cover most angles and have infrared so it can see in the dark. Eventually they "found" the card again and comped our drinks but we wasted like 45 mins arguing with them. Overall terrible experience. read more

I really liked the tropical gin cocktail (though very pricey...at $13, it's the price of a cocktail at some good US cocktail places). However, the drink is really good and I would come back. The Moscow mule was not as outstanding and would not recommend getting your mule fix here. The bartenders make use of some great aromatics and create drinks with great visual presentation as well, for an overall elevated cocktail experience. Would be interested in trying some of their other drinks. read more

i would not recommend this place to anyone. I went there hoping to have fun with my friends, the drinks were terrible. one was not edible and was too tart. it was called the gin gin they refused to take it off the table.

It's never a good thing when restaurants usher you inside. We were very hungry, everything else was full, we had no service and couldn't read reviews, and we were shuffled in before we had a chance to find another place. They nicely offered us tequila off menu, which ended up being a way to charge us $20 USD per shot. It was by far the most expensive meal we had here, and the food was heavy and fried. Skip it. read more

The ambiance is the best quality of this place. Drinks were wonderful. Music was great. Prices are way above the other local bars/ restaurants. With only two tables in the restaurant full on a Sunday evening. We kept waiting for our waiter to return so we could order another drink. Because we waited and waited we decided to get the check after our first drink. Also, while we waited for our change, another server came to our table with menus. Confused as she went to the wrong table. Additionally inside the restaurant children came up to us INSIDE trying to ask for money. For restaurant service and for them having security I wish that did not happen inside. I have no issues with it happeneing in local shops. But you are paying a high cost. I believe street vendors have better service. I hope this restaurant can improve because it's beautiful inside. read more

If you're a Gin aficionado, this is the spot for you in Mexico City. If you go, definitely have the cucumber martini. Seating can be slightly limited, so definitely get there early on, if at all possible. The music was fine, and service was a bit on the slower side but it's likely because of how busy it gets. read more

All looks no substance. Drinks are overpriced (250-400MXN) and watered down. I think the music is turned up and the staff dressed all classy to draw in a certain upscale, gringo crowd that is easily fooled. Would've been three stars but our server yelled at me when I asked whether my and my partner's drinks could be paid for separate from our group. In my two weeks visiting Mexico, Gin Gin was the low point. Avoid. read more

Love this Art Deco x jungle safari theme. Hate that they have no smoking signs over but ashtrays on every table and smokers all around me.

Gin Gin, well, hmmm it's a cool space, and the cocktails are pretty good. That said, in my one experience there, it's a bit of a shit-show at the Host Stand from around 10pm onward on the weekends. I was seated at a high top table through my reservation around 10. My friend was running late, so I was waiting and had ordered my first cocktail from the head bartender. Much of the staff did not know The Last Word Gin cocktail, but the head bartender of course did. What was odd, is one of the hosts about 5 minutes later, clearly "wired" asked me to move from my table, and had a couple behind him to which the table was reserved for. Explained, that no, this is not how this works since I had a reservation and clearly had made my presence to the last available table known when I was seated by the other host, given menus, and had a nice long talk with the bar staff. This took excessively long to explain. I'll blame it on my broken Spanglish for now, but it's not something I'd expect from a place like this. My friend arrived, on Latin time, 20 minutes later and by that point it was a zoo at the Host stand. It took 10 minutes to make it to the table, and they speak Spanish. We dined on Steak and their Fish of the day and it was good. The space and music were quite nice, but I could not help think that the place was a bit full of itself. If you are familiar with Stanton Social in NYC I'd say this place is an upscale scene like that, which is cool but a tad contrived. I don't know if I'd return, but it is a scene perhaps worth checking out for yourself. read more
