The best bars and cafés Pacific Coast

We love this small cultural café with its intimate atmosphere, where jazz, son jarocho and trova concerts are held almost daily. There are several small rooms with a subdued atmosphere, as well as a small inner courtyard ideal for smoking while drinking a good draught. The establishment serves food from breakfast until late at night (the tlayudas are particularly good). It is the most bohemian and relaxed bar in the center of Oaxaca. Here you can meet hippies and travelers from Mexico and beyond.

Very nice glass bar with view of the cathedral. Very chic and pleasant. You will discover the flows of the city, without the noise.

The coolest bar in Puerto is unfortunately open only in the high season. From November 20 till the Holy week. Then the two minettes return to their native country, Argentina!

" Save the Planet "… Restaurant of Italian and Oriental specialities, bar, T-shirts and concerts! Neighbour of Hard Rock.

This famous bar is located in La (Zone 3).

From Tuesday to Saturday from 17 a. m. to midnight, a group performs and plays trova or jazz music. Go for the atmosphere: Magnificent hotel and chic bar on the edge of a swimming pool.

Superb bar with music, small tables, candles and nice atmosphere.

Cocktails are delicious and for everyone (there are no alcohol cocktails). Sometimes concerts.

The Fishing Hole is a tiny bar located at the corner of Vicente Guerrero and Nicolás Bravo streets. It offers nothing more than a few attablées around a counter, but that is perhaps the key to its success. As soon as the establishment receives more than 10 customers, it is required to drink its standing beer in the street, which guarantees a certain atmosphere and friendliness.

Behind an old-fashioned wooden counter, there is a strange place that specializes in selling macadamia nuts, a plant native to Australia that has made its mark in several Mexican states. You can find them in different forms: with chilli, with salt, with chocolate or plain. There is a nice café in a backyard ideal for lunch or light dinner. The passion fruit and avocado ice cream is a must. The ice creams here are made without adding sugar and are absolutely delicious. Perfect for a break.

A few steps away from the main square of Comala, here is a small bar all dressed with wooden tables, pleasant and airy. One comes there to refresh oneself with the specialities of artisanal beers of the State, but also of mezcals one cannot more artisanal. It is possible to buy bottles to take away. To accompany everything, there is a choice of many botanas . During the day, the bar is bright and very pleasant, and the atmosphere warms up as the sun goes down. The place is popular with Comala's young working people.

La Fuente reigns supreme among Guadalajara's cantinas, a living legend frozen in time since 1921. It's a place worthy of movie sets, where the soul of jazz intertwines with the murmur of double bass and piano. Politicians, journalists and music stars have all bowed to its charm. Here, within these walls steeped in history, conversations mingle with the flavors of torta ahogada, the local specialty. An ideal break from the hustle and bustle of the cathedral, regional museum and government palace.

Opened in 1930 and located just across the street from the Zócalo, this bar is a Taxco must-see. Push the door and you'll find yourself in a small place with a kitschy and very eclectic decoration. One of the walls is entirely covered with banknotes from many different countries. The drinks are excellent; you absolutely must try the famous eponymous cocktail, invented by its founder, which contains tequila, lemon and honey. Ba-da-boom. To enjoy the view of the Zócalo, head for the small terrace upstairs.

The place was originally a modest stall for the distribution of renowned mezcals made by a cooperative of small local producers. The choice is fair and precise: tobaziche, cenizo, tovala, cuish, tepextate, espadín... You can taste and drink a few drinks on the spot, in a somewhat reloaded decor. In the evening there is a roof terrace where the regulars gather. From Thursday onwards, there are some local bands performing there. An excellent address, away from the tourist hustle and bustle.

The drinks are a bit expensive, but those who want to listen to a good group play salsa is here. This large two-storey bar, with the walls of thousands of guests, echoes the true Bodeguita del Medio, Havana's Cuba. From 22 p. m., the rooms invite visitors to the dance trail quite easily. 

Telephone and Internet connection point. Count 150 pesos for 5 h. 

Very bright and trendy restaurant-bar. Ideal for exiting all the more as it is located on the main square. About types of margaritas, many bottles of alcohol and exotic food: scorpion, crocodile, snake, kangaroo… The design of the floor is interesting: large red seats whose profiling suggests immediate takeoff for Saturn.

Alas, the best chocolate breads on the planet are not made in France, but in this small café in Mazunte. Set in a garden decorated with dream catchers and multicolored mandalas, this Ícaro is first and foremost a place of relaxation and entertainment. It perfectly reflects the spirit of this beautiful seaside village. There is also a community library, an art gallery and fresh and tasty food. Everything here is delicious. We recommend arriving early, as these hot rolls go... like hot rolls!

For a change from mezcal, why not try a little Mexican beer? Cerveceria de Colima is simply one of the country's most prominent independent breweries. It serves all the local varieties on draught that are prepared in the adjoining factory, as well as delicious meat and seafood dishes. The excellent craft beers are enjoyed in the simply laid out garden. Musical events are held here regularly. Please refer to the website.
