This place is amazing and we were lucky to get in with no reservation. We love great cocktails and they definitely didn't disappoint. This place is a bit hidden and eventually you will see the host. The inside has a DJ playing things such as Rampue that provided an amazing scene. It is dark fun lounge vibe and mostly only seated areas, so it is nice that it isn't fully crammed pack. We sat at the bar and were able to witness the bartender making all the intricate drinks. Definitely recommend to make a reservation since it is very busy and the cocktails are amazing.

Loved checking out this bar! It's a hidden gem in a basement. You'll wait a few minutes before being allowed in, but I promise it's worth it! They have drinks that hang from the ceiling, and if you're already at Xaman, you gotta order it! It's a drink that's good enough for four people. They have a DJ and even someone walking around with some type of incense (can't think of the exact name for it). This place is a bar that you have to check out if you're in CDMX!

Xaman was high on our list of unique places to bar hop. We were told that it can be quite a busy joint but we're glad we were able to get in the door. I ordered the What Else, a Beefeater gin-based drink with edible flower. I don't remember what my friends ordered but it was a large behemoth of a drink. I took a sip of it and confidently felt that what I ordered was better. Sometimes, it just *be* like that. It's a pretty cool place, and the bathrooms are unisex in one large area. I was wearing a romper and my zipper broke and I couldn't zip the damn thing up or down and fortunately, I was able to corral some ladies there to help with the issue. I was so pissed at the zipper that I ended up tossing that romper in the trash when we got back to our AirBnB that night. Service was great, we were sat at a table and despite the place being busy, the server checked on us every so often but not in a way that was bearing down on us.

Very cool bar and reminds me of an NYC speakeasy. We didn't make reservations and showed up right at 7:00 pm on a Saturday night and were able to be seated at the bar. Note-they opened the gate for us around 7:10, just be patient and they will come! All the drinks are great and served in fun glasses and unique presentations. Prices are still cheap as an American but more than local spots in Mexico City. I will make a reservation for a table next time!

Something with Gin and it was delicious

Was right across the street from the Marriott !! It's definitely a hidden gem . If you can find it you will love it

This was definitely the coolest bar we visited in Mexico City. The greeter, bartenders, and servers were incredibly friendly and down to Earth. The atmosphere in the bar is a whole vibe. Our group tried several drinks, and all were well balanced and tasted great. Make a reservation far in advance of when you plan to visit because this spot fills up quick.

Really good mezcal drink

Been there on the weekend and weekday. The weekend it's popping due to the live DJ. The weekend you see alot of tourist but the vibe is chill and nice. Waiters are very nice and friendly and give good drink recommendations

This is what the entrance looks like (then head down the stairs)

Very hip, too-cool-for-school, trendy bar with the most creative presentation of drinks that I've ever seen! Our drink was legit served to us in a large terrarium that was hanging from a rope that was attached to the ceiling! I don't remember the name of the drink but definitely keep an eye out for that one! I usually value the taste of the drink over the presentation, but this one was just so uniquely done, plus it tasted pretty good. There was a DJ spinning the night we went so it was quite lively in there! We were there on a Wednesday night, with a reservation so we got seated right away. It was busy but not packed that night The entrance was a little tricky, but it's across a little side street from a Marriott hotel, and then look at the picture I took to find the entrance!

Trendy speakeasy in Mexico City. If you're going on a weekend, try to make a reservation. The waiter suggested via whatsapp texting. It was pretty packed when we arrived and as a party of 6, almost impossible to find a seat in a busy bar. The waiter was nice enough to let us sit at a reserved table until the party arrived. The prices were around $160 -$250 (MXN) per drink but worth it for the abundance of unique cocktails. I had something with anise and gin that the waiter recommended (unfortunately the name escapes me) and it was delicious. A mix of unexpected flavors but not too overwhelming in any which way. I would say the vibe as Xaman is trendy casual drinks while you chill. There is some music but not something you'd want to dance to. Xaman is more the place to drink a unique cocktail nestled underground on a leather couch.

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.

Just confidently walk into the storefront food shop with a large table and chairs and ten then you have a reservation! They were very friendly and waved us in off the sidewalk as we were a bit bewildered (and didn't have reservations; just hoping and praying). Once inside the dark, very busy space with a couple rooms, long bar and some booth seating, the friendly, English speaking, knowledgeable staff will explain the large cocktail menu (many which can be made without alcohol if that's your thing). There is a creative beverage for every palate and there is a section dedicated to collaborations with mixologists from all over the world. Will definitely return to sample several more of these unique drinks. And also the food, which were didn't try as we came after dinner.

It's considered the "OG speakeasy" of the city and focus on creative cocktails from around the world. We didn't realize that the storefront was a simple looking restaurant so we kept walking back and forth. The entrance to the bar was in the back leading us to a completely different space. We made reservations and it's pretty much required to have one to be seated. Depending on your table size you might also have to share a table with others but they also have bar counter space. Their main menu of 12 cocktails were all made by the bartenders there. Part of the menu also contained cocktails from other bars around the world. The end of the menu was rounded out with classic cocktails with a Hanky Panky twist. Our party of five ordered most of the 12 main cocktails and some of the others. My favorites were the il fresco (peachy and coffee-y), grand bazaar (most spirit forward drink they have), and hanky panky (fat-washed with cacao nibs and menthol from fernet branca). All of the drinks were great though. The hot dog was also delicious! When we left we walked out of a Modelo "fridge" which was unique. The space and the vibes really were the definition of "speakeasy" because it was such a cool space. The environment was so fun and we had such a good time here.

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!

This ranks among the top ten bars in North America and as a group of 6, we probably waited for 25…read moreminutes to get in. There are no seats, this is a standing bar except a few uncomfortable bar stools. Drinks were good, but I expected more. I got the colada and it was good, not too sweet. Almost clarified colada.
