Concert halls México

There is a mixture of Cuban and Mexican dances in Veracruz. Currently, the exhibition is not open to the public and reserved for special events: marriage, year celebration for girls, etc.

Concerts are often held on the top floor of the Spanish Cultural Centre (inaugurated in 2002 by the King of Spain himself), which is located in the heart of the historic centre. The music is varied, from jazz to electronic music. Be careful, these parties attract more and more people, if you arrive too late, they won't let you in for lack of space. There is also a bar and a good restaurant serving Spanish specialities.

The Hostería del Trobador is a peña, that is, a music bar where groups live in live. But beware, the style of the house is rather the romantic songs and classics of Mexican and Latin American music. So the place is not done to dance until the early morning, but rather to spend a Bohemian evening, or in love. On Tuesday, the hotel organises poetry evenings. 

Known as the "Rock's House", Bull Dog Café is a unique establishment in Mexico City, halfway between the concert hall and the disco. Every Friday and Saturday evening, concerts are held there. They are often prestigious Mexican groups such as Molotov, Café Tacuba or Plastinila Mosh. Visit the website to find out about events. But beware, don't forget to bring your identity papers: even if you're a long time ago, you won't let you pass if you don't show your passport at the entrance!

Cine Tonalá is a unique space in the area: mostly independent cinema, the place also presents theater and music works. The vintage atmosphere is very nice, and the programming is really great. You can see some blockbusters, but also independent Mexican films. If you're in the mood for a one-man show, check out the website for a list of events. There is also a restaurant and a bar on site, so you can relax before the show or debrief afterwards.

Opened in 2016, the place is the new mecca for extreme rock music, punk or psychedelic tendencies, with also some techno events in the free and decadent 90s style. This is really where it's at. The setting lends itself quite well to the concept of the place: skulls and bones on the walls and around the bar, a small stage with psychedelic motifs, Colette benches in fake velvet or leather, a very underground atmosphere... Foro Bizarro is really a UFO in the Mexico City nightlife. Resolutely alternative.

For a change from Latin rhythms, here is a pleasant jazz club in the heart of the historic center. Both Mexican and foreign bands play here. You'll feel good in its cozy atmosphere, with velvet curtains, red neon lights and candlelit tables. To find out what's on, check out the club's website or social networks. Reservations are recommended, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. Not bad for a romantic evening with excellent music.

Just a few blocks from the Palacio de Bellas Artes, don't miss the façade of this small theatre. Its history is closely linked to that of the star, singer and actress Esperanza Iris (1884-1962), who gave the instructions for the construction of a theatre modelled on La Scala in Milan. It was inaugurated in 1918 and is still as majestic as ever. The place still hosts many concerts and recitals. Attending one of them is the best way to discover its magnificent interior.
