Salón Palomilla

Gorgeous rooftop, worth it to make a reservation ahead of time if possible so you can sit under the sky. They had live music/DJs spinning vinyl and it was very cute. 150 peso cover per person for the live music (not always the case!) Can get a little busy. Guayanabita and the Simulacro drinks were both great.

Very cool space with tasty drinks, but a bit overhyped in my experience. The later session with live music may add more energy to the atmosphere, but overall it felt slightly underwhelming. That said, I did meet some great people who were also traveling through Mexico, which was a highlight. Not sure I would return as it was a bit pricey for the value, but I’m glad I checked it out.

Good place if you’re on this side of town. Because of the portion sizes and the price I would not make another extra trip if I wasn’t already in th neighborhood. The traffic and the uber costs made that not worth it. But the ambiance was cool, the service was really great. I love the old time look tire shop uniforms. Obviously this is a small venue so be prepared for the shared seating vibes

A must-visit in Mexico City for the ambiance alone. The open-air architecture and design are incredible. Cocktails are good, but not the main draw, come for the setting.

This place is a whole vibe! I was in Mexico City for Día de los Muertos, and this spot was on my must-visit list — it did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing, and our server Iván made the night unforgettable. He showed us such a good time that I actually came back the next night. 10/10 recommend!

Beautiful main space, but much smaller than it looks online! Music was (not my personal taste, so no judgement there, just an FYI) LOUD early 2000’s pop-rock, and didn’t fit the chill vibe of the space. They ONLY take reservations for groups on WhatsApp, and only respond to messages every few days - I had been messaging with them for well over two weeks, sent a requested deposit to secure the reservation, and was told the day of the reservation that because I had not sent a receipt of the deposit (which had not been requested) that I did not have a reservation and the deposit was nonrefundable. Thankfully the manager at my hotel stepped in and the bar honored the original reservation so I didn’t lose my (several hundred USD) deposit for the group. Felt scammy. Not worth the trouble for a bar, go to Licoreria Limantour instead - easy to make reservations, great drinks, great DJ.

This place is such a gem. It opens at 6pm and honestly, it's smart to have a reservation if you can. We didn’t have one, but we showed up right at opening and managed to get a spot as walk-ins. It filled up super quickly not long after, so definitely plan ahead if you’re going later in the evening. The open roof is the highlight. Really beautiful, especially on a nice-weather night. They serve food from the restaurant downstairs, and the drinks are great. There’s a solid variety, including fun non-alcoholic options. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Also, pro tip: if you want a photo, ask them. They take awesome pictures and clearly have experience. When we were there, there was a live DJ techno set, which added a great vibe to the night. If you’re into speakeasies or rooftop bars, this place nails both in one. The decor is also really well done and makes the whole atmosphere feel cozy and stylish without trying too hard. One of our favorite nights in Mexico City for sure.

Great spot with fun chill dj vibes. Go upstairs through the small front area to discover a stunning place with great service. Daniela y Óscar made our night so memorable, delicious and fun.
