We had a very nice bartender who was new at making cocktails she said, but nevertheless made some very tasty cocktails. Our favorite was the Morena, and we also liked the mezcalina a lot. They have two little tables on the verandas looking out at the street below. Most of the cocktails were well priced at 79 pesos, so if you're in the mood for a beer or a mezcal, you should give it a try

They gave two salsas and an absurd number of tortillas with it as well. I actually liked the salsa quite a bit, just wish the food it came with was better lol. Place is spacious on the inside with a good vibe. Bathrooms were clean. Menu is huge, they have a really crazy selection of drinks and food. Not sure if they're cash only or not.

Our goal was to score spots at the small bar. This place is small overall and if you want to have the tasting experience I suggest trying for a spot at the bar top. We spent some time at the small restaurant next door and enjoyed some great tacos and a quesadilla while we waited. The server let us know as soon as the bar opened and we dashed over to get our spots. We had a fluent Spanish speaker with us, so that was a huge help. Their Mezcal selection is organized by region and they were happy to consult on our preferences. Shots were generous and served with fresh orange slices, sometimes seasoned with a spice blend. We also sampled an ague fresca with ginger and tamarind that was great with the spirits. Music selection was crazy, obscure Japanese goth music maybe? It somehow went perfectly with the vibe of the place.

We quickly found a table in the main bar area at a small high top so we lucked out with that! The vibe was sexy and very cool for a stop in the evening.

The staff was also very friendly and happy to try to recommend a cocktail that would fit my preferences. For the vibe alone, this is worth a visit!

Their doubles are served more like quadruples yay them! My fiancé appreciated his whiskey pour. BEST CEASER SALAD I HAVE EVER TASTED. Our appetizer was great (the name was funny so not sure) it was Argentinean cheese on the grill with baguette and tomato. I've never tasted any cheese like this, my fiancé thought it was chicken. Did I say they have the BEST CEASER SALAD EVER (add the chicken it's delicious). Oh and I'm normally not a fan of ceaser. However full disclosure, the dressing is made like it was created, oil, egg, dijon and anchovies (no you can't taste the anchovies)! The burger was just the icing on the cake - chef's kiss x 100!

La Nuclear is the pulqueria dive bar you've been looking for…read more Tucked in the very beautiful and popular Roma Norte, La Nuclear is easy to spot with their OG sign and well-worn interior. No frills, all quality and wholesomeness. The walls are coated with murals and hilarious graffiti with confessions like "Call me (number here)" and "Ama Mexico." My friend and I were the only ones on an early afternoon and we went with the flavored pulque. They did offer the original, but we did the guayaba and passiflora. Both were tasty. Loved meeting one of the pulque-tenders and he explained to us the process of making pulque regarding fermentation and the use of the "heart" of the maguey. SO rad. Plus the pulque is much less alcohol content, so it's a great digestive. The power of maguey! Phew! Highly recommend checking these guys out. Grab a few friends, as the tables can fit comfortable a group of four. The tables felt like church pews, but it creates a cozy and intimate space.

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.
