Great cocktail

We were not the only Americans packed into this place! Felt kind of like a New York City bar in that way. We loved the cocktails, and the staff was super friendly. Walked in at 9ish on a Saturday and got a table right away.

Great vibe, plenty of locals.

My friends and I stopped in to try some mezcal. I honestly didn’t see many other tourists there, maybe 2 other folks beside our party. I didn’t expect to stay too long but stayed for a couple hours. My friends and I tried a few...More

Great mezcal and amazing food!

We were 10 ladies on a bachelorette party, and we went to La Clandestina for a mezcal tasting! We were told lots about how mezcal is made and the stories about all the different ones we tasted, and after that we shared lots of tacos...More

Great Little Bar

Even though this bar was full of Americans, it still gave off an authentic vibe! We ordered mezcal cocktails since we didn’t want to sip on straight mezcal. I recommend the aguacate cocktail. It sounds weirdo, but you can’t even taste the avocado. In fact,...More

Hi! Thank you for your words. That cocktail is made with the same mezcal that we prepare the cucumber cocktail... The next time that you visit us, you should try that drink, or another choices... please ask to our waiters or manager the best option...More

Friendly staff, LOTS of mezcal, not very clandestine

For some reason we were under the impression that this was some sort of speakeasy. However it was not only super easy to find but pretty well trafficked by tourists. However the staff were all really friendly and knowledgeable. We got a lot of mezcal...More

TOURIST HAVEN FOR MEZCAL

Casual and small bar packed with English speaking patrons. The mezcal we tried was not the smoothest. It may help to go when not as crowded so you could receive more attentive service.

Good touristy spot for mezcal

We went here after dinner and it's a very small place but with cozy lights and the highlight is the mezcal wall and the cocktails. The mezcal menu in itself is huge. They have snacks too but we didn't get to try them. The free...More

Excellent spot to learn about mezcal

Didn’t know anything about mezcal AND traveling solo. Smart, friendly bartenders and wait staff helped me get tipsy while helping me learn about this complex, delicious drink. No brainer while in Mexico City.

Great Mezcal. Great learning experience

We stopped in to try some of the mezcals .. I was super hesitant because the few I had in the USA I did not like. All that changed very quickly. Eddie did a great job explaining the process of mezcal vs tequila and showing...More
