The best bars and cafés Oaxaca

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.

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 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.
