This Mexico City Bar Was Just Named Best in North America

"A dimly lit, bi-level speakeasy in Colonia Juárez that channels Prohibition-era style while delivering cutting-edge cocktails. The bar is known for technically precise, molecular-mixology drinks that highlight regional ingredients—signature offerings include the fig martini (the cocktail that “started it all”), a reimagined piña colada, and an Olive Oil Gimlet made with Don Julio Blanco tequila, olive oil, Lillet, rosemary, and green apple. Praised for consistency, creativity, and hospitality, the team—led by co-founder Rodrigo Urraca and bar director Eric van Beek—emphasizes a strong, humble crew mentality; the venue has earned consecutive North America’s Best Bar honors and was recently named World’s Best Bar, and it is expanding locally with plans for another Mexico City location and a first international outpost in Amsterdam." - Megan Murphy
