Local 1

A solid place to grab natural wines in an industrial wine bar in the heart of the Roma neighborhood. Arriving at the bar on a slower-than-usual Thursday night, it took a bit of time to actually get acknowledged and seated (anywhere, really). We were given a QR code for the menu (enough with the QR menu codes!) and browsed through the variety of natural wines. We received a brief explanation from the bartender about the different wines. I settled on an orange wine from Australia, which was delicious and fresh. The overall vibe of the bar was a bit underwhelming. Apart from the sparse crowd, the music was just alright and could have been better. Despite that, we had a great time. Prices were a tad higher for the location and the quality of the wine selection. It could be worth it, but be prepared to spend at least $250-300 pesos for a glass of wine, albeit natural.

My favorite place to spend an evening in CDMX!! Super friendly and welcoming owner and staff, really charming spot to spend some time on your own, meet new people in the city, or bring a friend. Also have an art gallery in the back that I haven’t gotten to go through yet but have heard fabulous things about. Excellent selection of drinks. Come here every time I come to CDMX!!

I used to enjoy Local 1 because of the great service from the sommelier Moisés, who was always attentive and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, my last visit was very disappointing. The staff member Victoria was rude, dismissive, and seemed more interested in being on her phone than attending us. She couldn’t explain the menu, served the wine carelessly, and her overall attitude made the experience unpleasant. The quality of service has dropped significantly compared to our previous visits.

Amazing selection of natural wines, some being from Mexico. The staff is full of knowledge and great conversation. Shout out to Alex for walking us through the wine selection and her well informed choices. One of the best experiences we have had in Mexico City so far. We were going to stop in for a glass and ended up staying for a few hours. Definitely put this on your list of places to visit!!

I’ve been to a couple of natural wine bars in CDMX and this is my favourite. The waiter is very attentive and the wines are great. They have a selection of Mexican and Europeans wines by the glass. Some natural, some more traditional. Really fun to try some experimental Mexican wines. We’ve been here a couple of times during the last two months.

Absolute best wine bar in the city. Sergio has curated a phenomenal natural wine list that any wine bar should strive to be. The cheese board is also incredible and the service top.

Such an amazing place, helpful and knowledgeable staff. I’ve had some of my best wines ever here! Really worth a visit if you’re into natural wines.

As a lover of natural wine, it was amazing to find a place dedicated to it. Great friendly service, with the ability to try the wine before buying a glass, we had a great time. Also had the charcuterie board which was generous and delicious.
