Here are some well-known spots to try once here!
- Roma is the epicenter of Mexico City hipster culture, with quirky residents and trendy bars and clubs to follow suit. The best place to start your night would be at Avenida Alvaro Obregon – a stretch of road littered with energetic bars and crowds of well-dressed youths. One thing about Roma is that there is always something going on, even if it is underground and hidden, you won’t get disappointed here.
- Hit up Licoreria Limantour, found in the capital, a legendary cocktail bar that is been named one of the top 50 bars in Latin America. Another must-visit is Romita Comedor, which offers alcohol-heavy cocktails in a high, glass-ceilinged greenhouse overlooking the street, a must.
- A club worth checking out is MN Roy – an ultra-cool venue where you will have to be very nice to the guys on the door to get a chance of getting in. Other notable places are Gin Gin, Janis and Cafe Paraiso. For mezcalerias, you may visit Mano Santa, La Mil Amores and La Nacional.
- La Condesa often comes hand-in-hand with Roma when speaking about Mexico’s nightlife. Both neighborhoods exude a coolness unmatched anywhere else in the capital. La Condesa attracts more young professionals, as opposed to Roma’s hipster crowd, so it has a classier reputation.
