The best bars and cafés México

We really like this traditional Cantina, which also offers good food. The atmosphere is always relaxed and warm. Locals gather here for a friendly family time, helped by the great drinks menu. Concerts are often organised, and the place even has its own mariachi trio! Authentic atmosphere guaranteed in this Cantina just a stone's throw from the Plaza Hidalgo. Another asset of the place: it has a pleasant open-air garden at the back of the bar.

We love this restaurant-bar that has kept its late 19th century decor and is full of history. At the time, this place was frequented by various personalities, including the president Porfirio Díaz. For the little story, Pancho Villa, wanting to make feel the power of "those from below", entered La Opera on horseback and shot a bullet in the ceiling! During the revolution, Zapata also passed through here with his soldiers. It is advisable to have a glass of tequila (the specialty of the house), in the evening, but peacefully... Beautiful.

Bar lounge but the Low Tech High Resolution concept. In short, a room held by an English. See…

If you don't have the hand, why not get distracted in a billiard room?

Small bar with draught beer, which is quite rare as well as good dishes to accompany his baron…

Reasonably crowded bar, which is very successful. It should be said that every Monday, Bosa Nova and Danses dances are on the program starting at 20 pm.

Irish pub without… Pressure guinness: it costs too much! But relax with good beer… anyway!

Small coffee where you can use chopsticks and salads. Music of Trova (Cuban protest music), Saturday starting at 19 pm.

A very nice and friendly place. Concerts on Fridays at 20 pm (pay fee for music).

We eat simple things like chopsticks or salads for less than 50 pesos.

Café practising fair trade.

It is a tiny coffee, frequented by artists and intellectuals, held by a German.

The name of this bar with stained glass in red comes from the word Cine (Cinema, the Cinéma cinema is right beside) and China (China, for the Red). This lounge bar with metallic decoration offers Chinese dishes.

Place very connected and very busy on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It is not uncommon to see thirsty people trying to go back in vain, glued onto the glass, attracted by this giant red neon (what find!). The speciality of the bar is the Martini cocktail.

It is a very pleasant and well decorated bar where you can listen to excellent music selected by the two British owners while tasting extraordinary drinks from their composition.

Bar on the same concept as Cinnabar, except that the decor is black and white in New York style. It's a posh and posh place where you can drink dry Martini, for those who don't like cocktails. And we eat well.

A lounge bar located south of Zócalo.

The hotel is very close to Termini square. Beer is not expensive. And there are often performances, ranging from striptease to rock concert, by imitations of Paquita del Barrio.

It serves a much better coffee than the Music, which has so much success, and offers a peaceful and pleasant setting for a capuchino or tea sitting in comfortable armchairs. Wireless internet service.

This establishment is absolutely worth a visit for its zany decor, which is more reminiscent of an antique store or an attic than a bar. Paintings of the Virgin of Guadalupe line the walls, alongside statues of Malverde and luchadors, bullfighting posters and Corona trays. What's more, this open bar with its lovely terrace serves not only beers, but also wine and a wide range ofantojitos, botanas and dishes, each more hearty and cheaper than the last. Everything you need for an enjoyable evening...

This pub, whose decoration refers to medieval times and Celtic culture, opened its doors at the beginning of 2011 and quickly became the meeting place for revellers between 25 and 35 years of age. It offers a wide range of national and international beers and whisky brands. An open area was built on the first floor for smokers. Possibility to eat on site. 

This is a mezcalería that naturally serves a wide variety of mezcals. You can also taste other typically Mexican spirits such as raicilla and bacanora, also from the agave plant, and sotol, a plant alcohol from Chihuahua. The decor is sober, the atmosphere is dark and the light is subdued. We like the intimate and relaxed atmosphere that reigns in this bar, far from the overexcited atmosphere of the Cantinas! The bar is open to the street, which allows you to enjoy the warm nights of Mexico City
