The 18 Best Restaurants in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico | Eater
"Tunki is a collaboration between Belmold’s Casa de Sierra Nevada hotel in SMA and Mexico City’s lauded Handshake Speakeasy. The cocktail bar offers diligent, friendly service and a short but sweet list of original drinks that will carry you through San Miguel’s sunsets, like the Flowerbomb — tequila, St. Germain, and orange blossom — and the Cariño, a creamy concoction with rum, yellow Chartreuse, vanilla, lemon, and Greek yogurt. The tapas menu is fresh and heavy on Peruvian-inspired seafood options like the Amazonian ceviche (catch of the day, lychee, and leche de tigre) and the patarashca fish marinated with ají, grilled and served with cassava. Book in advance to choose between the lounge, bar, or main dining-room seating." - Natalia de la Rosa

"Handshake Speakeasy in Mexico City, led by bar director Eric van Beek, was crowned at a ceremony on April 23 in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The bar’s interior plays into a sleek Prohibition era vibe—a polished black marble bar, black velvet seats, and gold accents throughout. The drinks are similarly understated: The piña colada, for example, comes not in a hurricane glass with a colorful umbrella but clarified and carbonated with a single long block of ice." - BySam Stone
An outpost brought to us by the official best bar in the world according to the 50best awards, aka Handshake. Without a doubt this is one of the most beautiful terraces in all of San Miguel. Do yourself a favor and catch the sunset over here. The food was great but there’s no shortage of that in this city. The cocktails- stellar, to be expected from their creators. But once again, the view is truly something to write home about.

What a bar. If you can't make it to handshake in México city, the satellite bar in San Miguel de Allende is a must. The staff is extremely friendly, great recommendations, service is 10 on 10, cocktails are delicious and the views are magnificent. Honestly a great experience

We went upstairs on the rooftop for drinks only. We tried five different drinks and they were all very good. Right amount of booze, but not too boozy. Service was fantastic. Music was playing, but the volume was not too loud to have in conversation easily with someone next to you. The biggest winner of this location is the view evidenced in the videos attached. Beautiful scenic rooftop. The roof rooftop is also covered in case of some rain. Drinks were approximately $15 per drink.

So so fabulous. Book ahead, because they may not let you in otherwise if you aren’t staying at the hotel.
Fabulous cocktails and food - get the watermelon tiradito and the chicharron sandwich. I could have eaten one of those sandwiches every day.
Tucked inside one of the hotel villas, so we had to go to the main lobby of the hotel to have someone escort us over.

Proper craft cocktails, tropical cozy environment, rooftop views, good bites. Worth the stars. I recommend making a booking ahead of time but we were lucky to be able to walk in after inquiring at the Belmont hotel. Staff was friendly and super professional. This view was only rivaled by the view at the Numu hotel rooftop where we stayed for this trip.

One of the many highlights of San Miguel de Allende. Great service, we had a special pizza that night and I swear was one of the best pizzas I've ever had, and this is not a pizza place! The cocktails were tasty and perfectly strong. We also had a first class view. The clientele were mostly expats and/or tourist, which was noticeably boujee.

This is without a doubt the best rooftop bar in San Miguel. This place is the result of a collaboration with Handshake and you can tell by the quality of the drinks. Without mentioning the Peruvian food brought by the skilled chefs and the warmth of the waiters that provide a carefully storytelling about what they're serving to you. One of the best places I've ever been in my life. 10 out of 10 experience.
