Fantastic cocktails! I highly recommend if you are looking for some fun and unique cocktails. The bar isn't large but they had seating outside and the staff was accommodating. read more

Really cute bar! Reservations are pretty much readily available on opentable so I'd suggest doing that as I saw a lot of walk-in's the day I was there (space isn't huge). The bartenders there really care about the quality of the drinks, so they usually come out pretty great. There are 2 outdoor tables, a few couch seating areas, two 2-seater tables (I think) and regular bar seats. I wasn't all that interested in what they were offering on their menu when I went in November 2019 (everything seemed more liquor forward than what I would have liked), but they were more than willing to make a custom drink based on the flavor profiles you like. They came up with some pretty amazing drinks!!! From the menu, I tried the Aguijon - not bad, but again, very liquor forward. You also get to pour it from this cute bottle into your martini glass...they literally give you two full glasses! You're also totally getting the NYC speakeasy experience for a fraction of the price - drinks here range from MX$160~190. What a steal! read more

After arriving late, we needed cocktails due to an Aeromexico glitch with our seats, and went roaming around Condesa, finding Baltra using GPS and Yelp. The "bouncer/greeter/maître d'" found us two seats at the small bar, and everyone working at Baltra was very friendly and spoke English better than me. I was embarrassed by my lousy, non-existent Spanish and was continually apologizing. Baltra's cocktails were excellent, and as the night wore on, the Americans left as the locals arrived. Eventually, we were the only gringos left at Baltra, but we were given the VIP treatment by Ximena Perez and Ivan Salazar. They were great as was Baltra. We shall return! read more

Chill atmosphere with decent drinks. The prices could be better but Mexico City prices has been on the rise everywhere unfortunately. read more

Baltra sobrepasó mis expectativas. Las bebidas están deliciosas . Sueño con la bebida de whiskey y Cheerios es la combinación perfecta.

Fun bar vibe, inside. We sat outside with the other tourists..not the best vibe but we made do. Service was super friendly but spotty. We wished we sat inside where the music and vibe was amazing but the seating was not available. Food choices was limited and nothing memorable (cheese platter). read more

Amazing place seems to be the locals' favorite. A popular hangout place after dinner. It gets really busy during the prime hours after dinner post 8pm even during weekdays. Do yourself a favor to make a reservation. Or you can try to walk in for pre dinner drinks, which is usually a success if you don't mind sitting at the bar. Sumi is one of my fav, you can smell the floral smell before drink it. I would only recommend to get only one egg white foaming drink, as it gets a bit too much if you have two in a row. Dry martini for 110 pesos on Tuesday is a steal but don't expect anything more than a basic dry martini. read more

My favorite of all of the bars listed on the top 50 list. The drinks were amazing, the rosemary water was refreshing and the vibe was lighter. Not a speakeasy, but a beautiful bar. I would love to go back. read more

This bar has incredible sidewalk ambiance, lively feel, high energy even in the late hours of the day, and above all - a very inventive mix of cocktails and infusions that certainly force you to stay longer as you stroll down the menu one drink at a time. I felt compelled to pay multiple visits over the stay in CDMX, and thoroughly enjoyed every sip. read more

Amazing service and wonderful drinks! My husband and I truly enjoyed ourselves although we were seated next to a very loud and obnoxious girl. Also, if there's someone there providing a service (man playing the guitar) tip him!! Don't be such a snob read more

The staff was friendly and attentive. We had delicious and unique cocktails. The space is small and comfortable.

Unfortunately 0 stars isn't an option. Place was half empty and the server wouldn't let us utilize any of the space to grab drinks. He crammed us between two large groups while comfy tables where available the whole time. My friend wasn't drinking but ordered a lemonade. He didn't touch it and wanted to leave so I asked to pay my drink and the server was insistent that he couldn't remove the lemonade from the bill. Smug service with tacky vibes. Wouldn't send someone I disliked here. read more

Amazing cocktail bar with great decor. As soon as I saw the animal skulls, preserved butterflies, and marine animal models on display, I knew this was my kinda place. The place isn't small by any means, but it does get popular. There's bar seating, a couple of couches with stools, and sidewalk seating. When we got there, the server asked if we wanted a table (we said yes), and we thought it would take forever while we waited at the bar. But the second a table opened, he called us over. We hadn't even had time to order drinks yet. That's great service. The drink menu is very extensive. There are whole menu sections devoted to daiquiris, martinis, negroni's, highball drinks, and various liquors in the back. But my absolute favorite were the punches! They come in cute little mini decanters that your pour yourself into teacups. The Penedes Punch was made with brandy, sake and oolong tea. Served with frozen grapes instead of ice. Pretty damn amazing. Might be one of the best cocktails I've had. Also had the Chevanreaux Punch, which was on the sweeter side. That one was with vodka, vermouth, and garnished with cucumbers (and of course the frozen grapes). Service was wonderful. The fresh-faced server was walking around frantically all up and down the bar to take orders and bring them out. Somehow, he never missed when we needed to order. Probably my favorite bar experience in CDMX, but there was one thing that greatly annoyed me (and it had nothing to do with Baltra at all). Rant time: We witnessed several large groups coming in and being very bossy and demanding about there not being enough space for them. It's a popular bar. You can't just walk in with 8 people. Have some goddamn commen sense. Goddamn entitled American douchebags complaining about everything. They complained about how long the drinks took (there was just one main bartender, and he made drinks pretty damn fast). They complained that their table didn't get a bowl of olives (those idiots didn't order any martinis). And then they had the audacity not to tip. The guys working here were busting their asses to keep everyone happy, but I guess you can't please everyone. Especially jerks. read more

Really tasty cocktails and friendly staff. The menu tells you exactly what brand of liquor they use in each cocktail and the alcohol content percentage. We got a drink whose name I forget but had cardamom in it which was super good. Vibe is NYC hipster closet. read more

-Takes forever to serve drinks // tried to charge us for drinks we never received -Even though we made a reservation weeks in advance, they sat us on a little bench outside without much table space or any back support - there are little kids running around trying to sell you stuff the whole time The drinks are good though. read more

A group of us came by here just randomly walking around. So impressed with this cocktail bar. Everyone had amazing cocktails. Place has a great vibe, really enjoyed the music. I Shazammed a number of songs. English was fine. read more

They sat us behind a plant. It took 10 minutes for them to take our drink order. We then waited 45 minutes before flagging the server down and reminding her we didn't get our drinks. She said the bar was busy, so we waited another 10 minutes. Our drinks didn't come so we left. read more

The bartender in the first image is the best!!! What incredible service! He was trained in London. He makes amazing cocktails, and is so attentive. Sometimes mixologists have a pretentious attitude--not this guy. We stayed for four drinks because of his service. Not to mention the great choice in music. This is a good spot for a Monday night as most places are closed. read more

Cozy bar in Condesa without all the loud music and waiting lists as some other cocktail bars in the area. The bar's menu booklet features a spin on classic cocktails and some fantastic original cocktails as well. The range of liquor alone here is impressive, especially the vermouths and even some amaro!! Baltra also creates their own in house syrups for various beverages. I highly recommend you sit at the bar and watch as the bartender and owner, Dany, does his magic. At the end of the night I found myself not wanting to leave, captivated by the complex drinks and sounds of Donna Summer. This will be my only drinking spot next time I am in CDMX. read more

What a fun bar! We got there at about 7:30 and were able to sit without any issue. The were very patient with our poor Spanish and were able to accommodate plus in English. The mezcal special cocktails were each fantastic and totally worth it. Glad we came by! read more

In my opinion, Baltra Bar was just okay. The ambience was very much hipster closet. The drinks were super tiny and not that strong. Their only cider option was good though. But for some odd reason the cider was served in a 5 oz cocktail glass so it looks like they were just being cheap. Adversely, my boyfriend seemed to really enjoy Baltra bar. Too bad he isn't the one writing this review. However, he seemed to enjoy whatever came alongside the mezcal shots. read more

We contacted the bar in advance to make a reservation. They said Sundays are not busy and we would not need a reservation. It was the Sunday before a holiday and the bar was packed. It's a small space. The bartender and host/waiter did their best to accommodate everyone. The drinks were some of the best we had in Mexico City. I would like to go back on a quieter night and get more time with the bartender. read more

Great comfortable bar with unique cocktails, knowledgeable bartenders and good design! A lot of their signature cocktails featured tea leaves in them, which was an interesting addition. Tasty too! If tea isn't your thing, they also know all your standard (and not so standard) cocktails and have a large selection of liquor. read more

We came here with high expectations given the overwhelming positive reviews and recommendations. The experience left a lot to be desired and we wished we could experience what others are talking about. The bad: 1) The drinks were terrible. We tried various mezcal cocktails on the menu and after having a lot of good mezcal (neat & in cocktail form) during our trip the drinks paled in comparison. The flavors were disappointing. May be the bartender was having a bad day or wasn't one of the awesome ones that people are talking about. 2) Atmosphere & Ambience - For various reasons they whole bar was smoky. There were lot of people smoking outside and the smoke kept blowing inside the bar. We switched spots and no place to hide. The seating was uncomfortable and the music was weird. 4) Price - Given all the above the relatively high prices (and we visited a lot of nice bars in Condesa) just did not make sense The good 1) Service - It was timely. read more

Baltra - At the bar - Bars Near Me - México, D.F., DIF

Visited Baltra with spouse and had no idea what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of the drink selection and coziness of the place. A little slow when we visited and we had a delightful conversation with the bartender who we could tell, enjoyed his craft. We ordered 4 drinks (2 each) and all of them were flavorful and exactly what we wanted. The mezcal drinks (1 smoky and flavorful, the 1 other was light and refreshing) were exceptional and the environment was light and easy going. Totally recommend checking this place out, also want to mention that pricing is on point for cocktails. read more

Excellent craft cocktails, relaxed atmosphere for the young adult that wants a quiet but sophisticated spot

Cute small intimate cocktail bar with cute decor. Warm lighting with scattered biological specimens for decor (bugs, skeletons, feathers, etc). You can tell that they really pay attention to details. Their cute menu is a little book with full of striking images nad imaginative names for each drink that ranges from usual names to long phrases. Their wait staff was super helpful and approachable. He saw that I was undecided and asked what flavors I liked and made me a tailored drink with my preferred drink profile. Cute place to grab a drink in Condesa. Mixed crowd with foreigners and locals. read more

Craft cocktails in a cute and cozy space. Some of the most creative cocktails we had in Mexico City! Staff was attentive and got orders quickly even though the place was packed. Conveniently located in a quaint neighborhood too! read more

Tasty drinks and excellent service. Would go back regularly if I lived here. I will say that the people who go here maybe should tip better, the barmaid seemed happily surprised with a pretty modest 15% tip. C'mon Americans, do better. read more

I loved this bar. The drink was very tasty- & pretty! This is a great place for having a drink and a good conversation. They also served water which was a rare and nice touch in this city. read more

Disappointed !! The mescal drinks tasted like syrup. The waitress didn't care whether we liked our drinks either. Very smoky environment.

Cute little bar in Condesa! They primarily served classic cocktails, but they put their own twist on a few of them. We sat at the bar, and the bartender made us a couple of drinks that were not on the menu which was great. This bar is small! We went on a Saturday night around 7:30 pm, and it was almost completely full. read more
