Bars
CDMX is home to some of the top cocktail bars in the world!
Handshake Speakeasy (Juárez) – Tiny hidden bar with super creative cocktails, reservation recommended. Licorería Limantour (Roma Norte) – Iconic Mexico City cocktail spot, reservation recommended. Baltra Bar (Condesa) – Cozy bar, walk-ins usually okay. Hanky Panky (Juárez) – Speakeasy vibes and fun, over-the-top drinks, reservation highly recommended (done via Facebook). Walk-ins will have a wait in a hole in the wall restaurant in the front (usually only OK for a small group). Tlecan (Roma Norte) – Mezcal bar, walk-ins usually okay but is on the smaller side. Ling Ling (Polanco) – Rooftop bar at the Ritz with an amazing view. Reservation recommended. Supra Roma (Roma Norte) – Rooftop hookah and cocktail bar, amazing views and good for tapas / fun dinner atmosphere. Reservations recommended for weekend evenings.
