Tokyo Music Bar

If you’re into low-lit, vibey music bars, Tokyo Music Bar in CDMX absolutely delivers. HI FI analog is what’s up! Came for a couple drinks, stayed way longer than planned. The DJ was locked in all night — smooth, tasteful selections that somehow made the whole room feel connected without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place where you catch yourself Shazaming tracks between sips. Drinks were on point. Not just “good for a bar,” but genuinely great. Thoughtful cocktails, solid classics, and everything balanced perfectly. You can tell they care. The vibe is intimate but not pretentious. Dim lighting, warm sound, people actually there for the music. Perfect spot for a date or a chill night with friends when you want atmosphere without chaos. Would 100% go back. 🎶🍸

We came here last night and it was a vibe. The staff was welcoming from the door guy to the waiters. The music was top notch and definitely made the night. They went from Jazzy to the Gorillaz to tech and then Depeche mode. The sound quality is A1. The drinks are really good. They even had a drink called the Pedro Navaja which is a song by Ruben Blades 🇵🇷. That drink is dangerously good. We will definitely be back before our trip is over.

I had two cocktails at Tokyo Music Bar that are definitely in my top ten. The bartenders are masters of their craft, paying meticulous attention to every detail, like the individual ice cubes stamped with a design during service. The atmosphere and everything else combine to create a truly memorable experience.

Excellent bar - one of our favorites in CDMX. Can’t believe they only have 3.8 rating - the lower reviews mentioned rude staff and bad vibes. Just have to say we interacted with most of the staff and they were incredibly nice. The vibe is excellent, great music and very good drinks. Really wish we had this bar back home. Highly recommend!

Stumbled on this place, gave it a shot. Spontaneity breeds a good time. The drinks were amazing and atmosphere was electric and the selection of tunes playing through vacuum tubes was immortal. I would ride into battle for Tokyo Music Bar, the reviews questioning the vibe make me ill. Treat your soul with frequencies and liquids that pour from this temple.

This spot has such a lovely vibe. I stopped by on a Monday, which made it easy to enjoy the intimate and cozy atmosphere. Our server, Manuel, was incredibly attentive, and the beautiful music coming from the Westminster made the experience even better. A perfect place to unwind and soak in good vibes after a long day.

Love love love! A very special night in a great atmosphere. Not a drinker buuuut the drinks were FABUTASTIC! I recommend this to anyone local or visiting. Make sure you make a reservation though! So worth it and the service was fantastic...thank you, Sofia!

Simply superb. 🍸🌹The “Rose Royce” is one of the best cocktails in the city. All cocktails $260 (much cheaper than other bars this fancy) + beer, wine, sake, and snacks. The vibe is cool and sultry but energetic. Good for date night or small groups. 🎶 The music is being spun live using the bar’s vast vinyl collection, played at the perfect volume to chat with your date or small group of friends but not hear other tables. Or just come and drink in silence. Reservations recommended but not necessary. For the perfect experience, eat downstairs at Le Tachinomi Desu (same owner, different vibe) and then head upstairs for some cocktails & tunes. ❌♿️ Not wheelchair accessible.

Drinks 100/10 Vibes = immaculate This place is one of the best hidden gems I have ever randomly stumbled upon while browsing Apple Maps. It's pretty low-key and hard to find. Very speakeasy. The staff was so kind, the music was amazing, the drinks are perfectly balanced. All drinks were very homemade, so refreshing you can actually taste every single ingredient blended together to perfection! If you are planning on visiting CDMX please please add this spot to your itinerary.

A friend of a friend suggested Tokyo music bar and we had the opportunity to go so we checked it out. We went on a Monday and when we arrived, they asked if we had a reservation. We did not, but they luckily were able to find us a table, which seemed to be available either way but we didn't stay too long anyway. They play American music, has a speakeasy feel, and specialty cocktails are their thing. The drinks are on the pricier side and it's a fairly small space. I'm not sure if it has a different feel on the weekends, but a cool place to check out for a drink or two.

This bar is very reminiscent of a couple bars in a actual Tokyo, Japan. Upon ascending up the stairs and seeing the layout/ambiance, I got a sense of nostalgia as if I was literally walking into a bar in Tokyo. This bar is slightly bigger than what I'm used to in Tokyo but that's a good thing. The layout is comfortable and doesn't feel cramped. The music helps set the mood and is played through vinyl records that the staff manually plays. Very awesome vibes. The servers are very attentive have good knowledge of the cocktail menu. The spirts are slightly more expensive than bars even back home but I suppose that's expected in an establishment like this. They have a decent whisky collection and as they should...they are Tokyo Music Bar afterall and Tokyo sure loves their whisky.

This is a small "speakeasy" type of bar with delicious drinks. The staff was super friendly and attentive. They said you need to make a reservation but we went on a slow Monday night so we were able to get in.

Wow so sad to read the negative reviews because people couldn't dance. We spent hours at TMB just listening to the DJ playing crazy good beats at high quality have a great conversation and some delicious martinis. Exactly what we needed/wanted. Got our dance on at a different spot later in the night but not every place needs to be a dancefloor!

We made a reservation weeks in advance only to be told when we showed up that there was a "private event" and they could not honor our reservation. Complete waste of time. They never sent us any sort of cancellation notice before hand. I would definitely not recommend anyone patronize this unprofessional establishment.

What a great speak easy bar. We sat at the bar and were treated like royalty. Alex and the other bar staff were fantastic and very accommodating. They answered all our questions (in English if you struggle with your Spanish) and made well thought-out and creative cocktails which were delicious. The music was great, with the DJ spinning vinyl on a magnificent sound system which really set the mood.

Absolutely loved the ambience, service and cocktails. The Rolls Royce was smooth and delicious and very memorable .

Great vibes, as long as you know what you're getting into. This is not a club, so no dancing. The high-end cocktails are delicious, and the music is nicely curated. You can watch the DJ select records off the shelf and play them. Very unique spot! It's a bit hard to find from the street, like any good speakeasy.

Extremely awkward encounter with the hostess upfront. Walked up with my husband and a security proceeded to stop us and told us wait. When hostess arrived she said it's a reservation only place and they were full. Then proceed to point us to the sister bar next door. I looked up quickly on my phone and said that were tables available for the next hour, even for the next ten minutes! I showed the hostess the availability and she said I can book it and wait outside even though tables were available. We just decided to leave. Based on other reviews this is a common tactic by this place. Save your money and go somewhere else.

My friends and I wanted to go out on a Tuesday night. We requested a Daft Punk song..nice. Then we started to get up and dance. The waitress then told us, "Sorry but this doesn't go with the concept of the bar." Lowkey not a vibe. If you want cool pics and a drink..nice. But bro, we're in Mexico City & sounds a little pretentious. We're here to have fun.

This place wants to be a music destination, with a DJ spinning from a collection of hundreds of vinyls from the '90s, however, they have a mysterious "no standing" and "no dancing" rule but magically chose to only tell the only people of color in the bar this rule while all white people dancing were allowed to do so. The music was so loud, why have it that way if people can't facilitate having conversation since we're not allowed to dance? They said dancing goes against their "concept" -- what kind of stupid concept of a MUSIC bar that doesn't allow you to joy the music itself is this? It's a beautiful spot but the service absolutely sucks and they should get over themselves, especially when they won't let you in even if you are 5 minutes past your reservation - regardless of how full it is inside. Skip giving Tokyo Music Bar and bring your money elsewhere.

Las horas no están correctas en su página de internet. Hicimos una reservación para las 6pm el domingo y no nos dejaron entrar.

Good music, speakeasy type lounge bar. Live DJ mixing vinyl was a plus. 10 outta 10 would recommend.

Ambiance was great, but one of our drinks (the ivy & gold) arrived a quarter full. Thumbs down on service and drinks, one thumb up on ambiance.

Very cool "speakeasy" style upstairs bar. Tiny but comfortable and with great service. Focus is on the mixology and they do a great job. Features DJ playing vinyl records on turntables at the bar. Sound is great courtesy of speakers from London circa mid-1960s so I was told. All in all, well worth a visit.
