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.

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.

The food was bland and lacked any real flavor - nothing stood out. Service was the bigger issue: it took our server 10 minutes and two separate requests just to bring out a Sprite, and we had to ask multiple times for other drinks throughout the meal. She seemed more interested in chatting with two coworkers than attending to our table. Cool space, but the food and service need real work.

We found this piano bar in the Juarez neighborhood set on the 2nd floor of a cute bookstore. We had…read morereservations at a bar nearby and were looking for a spot to chill at for an hour or so and ordered a rose sangria to share. 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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!
