"In another city, the idea behind Bar Las Brujas could feel overly kitschy. But in CDMX, it’s pitch perfect. Their all-female staff is lovingly referred to as a coven, cocktails are inspired by feminist writers and activists, and their dedication to Mexican herbalism goes beyond decorating your drink with a single sage leaf. The space feels a bit like a refined hotel bar—it’s dimly lit and cozy, and can get a bit loud, but that just means you can discuss your secret potion recipes without anyone overhearing." - guillaume guevara
"Since opening in 2020, the women-led bar team at Brujas has honored female Latin American artists and activists through creative cocktails anchored in Mexican herbal medicine practices, earning a ranking on the North America’s 50 Best Bars list in the process. The bar sits in a turn-of-the-century apartment building known as Casa de las Brujas, the Witches’ House, an iconic architectural piece overlooking the Río de Janeiro plaza in Roma Norte; for decades, the building has been a figure of urban legend, since it housed Pachita, a well-known psychic and medium. The Brujas cocktail list pays tribute to Mexican botanical traditions with herb-driven libations like Woman of the Century (house vermouth, gin, and lavender soda) or the Amazona (tequila, yucca, cinnamon, and pepper tincture)." - Natalia de la Rosa, Daniela Galarza
