Stopped by here after dinner to grab some cocktails. From the name of the restaurant, it's already expected that all cocktails are gin based. Both cocktails ordered were delicious (the Brumble and Negroni). The atmosphere was lively but romantic.

If you like good cocktails you will love Gin Gin! We are big gin drinkers and we loved the variety of gins here and all the fabulous cocktails. Very cool bar fully stocked with all liquor, great wine list and some beers. I loved all the extra fixings they had available for the drinks, and the fabulous big gin goblets! At night this place is more clubby. But we went early in the evening and it's pretty chill and laid back. They have food too, but we just had the drinks. In a great part of town, walkable to a lot , and lots of Space inside. We had great service here too. Pays to come early! All our drinks were excellent and very big pours! Great spot on our trail through Polanco bars.

Ambiance is great in the evening. As soon as you enter you walk upstairs so you can't see how busy they are which is a downside. A small but cozy second floor invites you to sit, chill, have some drinks and listen to the dJ. Drink prices were not cheap but were tasty and lots of options. So happy we came here to check it out! A Greta hangout spot to have some hookah too! Hookah was great, better than almost all the places we have back home in Atlanta! This is a must visit the next time we are in town. Cheers!

What a cool little spot. Located on the second floor after a long lobby of skulls. It really is a vibe. The music was on point. It was just one good song after another. A great DJ mix. The drinks were delicious. Everything that the waiter recommended was just perfect. After two drinks, we developed an appetite and ordered some tacos recommended again by the waiter. They were delicious!everything about this place was awesome. Perfect for a girls night or maybe a romantic rendezvous with a lover. Definitely worth checking out.

Cool vibe, lovely outdoor space although could be much better with real live plants, great location, decent cocktails, friendly service as always in CDMX. We can't without reservation dat at the bar for a few drinks, enjoyed the indoor outdoor vibe, cocktails were good although nothing too special.

Negroni and Kanky Panky
Amee L.

Came here for gin based cocktails. The entrance was really cool with skulls and bones. The hostess was very friendly. Once we got seated the server unfortunately put me in a category of light drinks and strongly suggested I try the gin gin mule. I told him I prefer Negronis or anything more spirit forward but he wouldn't budge. After 3 attempts of him trying to change my mind, I finally got my Negroni. It was ok. My husband's drink was fine too. Nothing to remember.

Receipt of us being scammed with 2 bottles of champagne we didn't order

DO NOT GO- YOU WILL BE SCAMMED. Group of 8 people arrived at about midnight ready to celebrate 2 birthdays. We ordered drinks, hookah. We were having a great time. Then they asked what we were celebrating and quickly came out with 2 bottles of champagne and sparklers. At this moment, none of us had a chance to see if someone even ordered these because we were mesmerized by the sparklers. The next bottle they brought out was Jääger... This is when all of us knew we were being SCAMMED because no one in our group ever drinks this. We kept refusing, but they kept trying to serve it. The bill for the 2 bottles was ~7300 pesos ($350). Now, we drank it; we enjoyed it. They thought we looked drunker and dumber than we were... I confronted them in Spanish, explained the whole situation and then said, "We enjoyed our night and the champagne, but we know what you did, and that was wrong." The manager (?) did not deny anything and was a bit skiddish. We still paid and felt like a bunch of fools but chose to be positive about a fun night with friends.

Tropical Gin
Brenda O.

First time in the city of Mexico and came across this spot and I must say it has great ambiance and music, The cocktails were well made and presented and great service. I also tried their margarita pizza it was delicious and the dough was fresh and well toasted to perfection. The hookah was nice and smooth I had the blueberry mint and orange. Cocktails: tropical gin ,Aioros ,sunset breeze and the rain. Great spot. When I come back to Mexico City I'll definitely head to GIN GIN.

Table deco!

Trendy place and great drinks if you enjoy Gin! Cool open rooftop concept, I'd recommend checking it out if you're in the area of Polanco.

Not easy to find, but a lot of fun when you do!…read more One of my favorites spots, among many, in the heart of Polanco.

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.

Cocktails: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 4 ($16-19 per highest quality cocktail) Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes! 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. Happy Munchies, @JaeGreens

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!
