We had a very nice bartender who was new at making cocktails she said, but nevertheless made some very tasty cocktails. Our favorite was the Morena, and we also liked the mezcalina a lot. They have two little tables on the verandas looking out at the street below. Most of the cocktails were well priced at 79 pesos, so if you're in the mood for a beer or a mezcal, you should give it a try

Honestly the openness is welcome on this cool autumn day although the sounds of cars and people was sometimes a touch distracting. Music was fun but not particularly heavy, maybe more of a casual date than something velvety. Service was quite attentive and prompt although I did arrive quite early and there weren't very many people there. Not all the waitstaff are very fluent in English but they are happy to bring someone who is if you have questions. They are the sister bar/restaurant to La Clandestina which is literally right next door which also focusses on Mezcal. Honestly, I don't really know what the difference is between the two aside from the people who are literally mixing the drinks and serving you as the house mezcals are also under the La Clandestina name. Ordered their Habanero house cocktail which was a mix of their Espadin Joven Mezcal, orange liqueur, and a raspberry/bluebery/habanero syrup garnished with a dehydrated orange slice and rimmed with salt, chili, and maybe some more habanero. Note, the menu doesn't actually mention the syrup, I dragged that out of them since I was wondering why the cocktail was so pink and also tasted like it definitely had more than mezcal and orange liqueur in it. The end cocktail is a light and fruity affair but not particularly sweet or acidic and actually balanced out with the body and smoke of the mezcal. I normally despise salt rims, finding it overpowering on first sip and nonexistent on the next but theirs toned down the salt levels enough that each sip around the rim was actually quite pleasant. The habanero in the syrup maybe offers a smidge of vegetal notes and a little bit of spice if you're particularly sensitive to it but the rim itself was actually a delight, giving a light tingle to the lips with each sip. I wouldn't say the cocktail was particularly spicy but more tingly which I found myself actually preferring over other chili included cocktails I've had in the past. They do offer a variety of bottles of tequila and mezcal to sell and take home with you, notably the ones under the Clandestina name that are made just for the bar. Not all of these tequilas and mezcals are available to try directly but the bartenders will offer you a shot of the closest one that is available on the menu (mind you, trying a shot is just paying for an ounce/35 ml of the stuff but that's all on the menu). I decided to give that a shot before biting the bullet on a whole bottle of mezcal. The shot of mezcal comes in a glass wider than a traditional shot glass so you can actually sip the thing comfortably and they also give you a few orange slices with tajin to chase/nibble on. Apparently they offer a flight of mezcal which I'd honestly recommend, especially if you're here with some friends. Definitely recommend coming by for well executed cocktails but particularly for the chance to try Mezcal of varying regional origin, age, and abv.

I'm going to go on record and say Maison Artemisia is the best bar on earth…read more Okay...you're right, I haven't experienced every bar (yet), so how would I know? You're just going to have to trust me! We were invited to Maison Artemisia by a couple of local friends who are in the cocktail industry. It was Halloween evening. Immediately upon entering the quiet (we came early and Mexico doesn't get jumping until late) beautiful upstairs bar to a wild greeting by two bartenders wearing the wildest Aztec animal-god masks (an outstanding start)! Round after round, drink after drink was a love song to cocktail greatness. Using an apothecary of fresh herbs, spices, tinctures, bitters, syrups, fire, smoke...these guys knocked out one sensational cocktail after another. Each one different...beautifully presented and balanced. Last round, we challenged the guys to whip up something off menu with varying flavor profiles picked by us and our guests (did I mention we were a few rounds in already?). These guys went to work like a couple of alchemist poets...composers...rap battlers. Working together, tasting, tweaking, these wizards of libations stirred, mixed, and shook together one of the best nights of cocktails of my entire life. All in one of the hippest, coziest, most vibrant lounges I've ever had the pleasure of spending an evening. For sure, I will frequent Maison Artemisia every time I'm in Mexico City DF. They are...and still remain...simply the best!

El Graffito Coyoacan is a nice chill bar to grab a beer with friends!…read more Location: This bar is located close to the center of Coyoacan, and is near some of the main plazas and restaurants in the area. It is also super close to one of the main highways, so you can catch an uber/taxi pretty quickly from here. Service: The service at this location was excellent! The waiter that helped us explain to us their menu and all of the different mezcal infusions that they have. Food/Drink: They have a pretty wide variety of tequilas and mezcales, but I don't think they have "the best". Everything they have is a little bit more on the low scale end of things, but at really affordable prices. As for food, is your typical bar food with not much of the ordinary. Again, this is a great place to just grab a beer with friends.
