LA ANTIGUA PAZ
Read moreOpened in the 1930s, it is the oldest cantina in the city. Contrary to the custom that still prevails in some remote areas of Mexico, women are admitted here, as the place is relatively quiet. People don't necessarily come here to get drunk, but rather to play dice or dominoes with friends, with an occasional tequila. La Antigua Paz welcomes a rather diverse clientele made up of students and cowboys alike. On the walls are exhibited vestiges of the revolution. Authentic.
TABERNA EL CERDO DE BABEL
Read moreVinum ac musica laetificant cor hominis ("Wine and music make the heart of man happy"). This is the motto of this friendly bar, located in a warm old house in the centre of the city. It serves draught and craft beers, as well as all kinds of tapas, all of which can be consumed seated at the bar. An alternative place with a relaxed atmosphere, full of various musical and cultural events.
EL PRESIDIO
Read moreBuilt in 1876, this old finca dates from the golden age of the port of Mazatlan and offers a magnificent setting. In 2010, the place was converted into an (excellent) restaurant with an old-fashioned atmosphere: you can sit in the large inner courtyard where the trees have long since taken over the old stones and the place. The large bar, ventilated by numerous fans, gives the impression of having been here for ages. Ideal for a cocktail at any time of day. The dishes, the fruit of an original culinary creation, are to be discovered.
