    Bellini (left), Oregano (right)
    Charlene L.

    We stopped by for drinks and fortunately there was a lot of seating available on a weekday night. I ordered their version of a Bellini and my husband ordered their Oregano. Both drinks were recommended by the staff and overall the drinks were decent. The bellini was a bit too sweet for me. They have quite an extensive drink menu so there's definitely options for everyone. Presentation of the drinks was pretty simple for such a well recognized bar.

    Wonderful bartenders and excellent cocktails! Downside is that it can get busy with tourists but if you're able to sit at the bar before it gets busy earlier in the day then it's much more enjoyable. My favorites were the Orégano and Vicuña. The Orégano was earthy with the hint of oregano that added a nice subtle savory element. The Vicuña was tropical while fruity but not overly sweet. Service was great and cool vibe too.

    This is a fun bar to try and listed as one of the top 50 bars by Condé Nast I believe #32 it said. So to order drinks you do have to order a food item, so make sure to come with an appetite. Walkable to other restaurants, this bar is near a park that has great miniature water boats, statues and scenic spots.

    The vibes are definitely on point! Great music, friendly hosts, and super sweet bartenders. The energy is fun and lively without feeling overwhelming. Perfect spot for good drinks, great service, and a solid night out. The best part is tacos orinoco is practically next door for some food after you cap the night

    The service is top-notch! The drinks are delicious, the ambiance is amazing, and the DJ was excellent. It's an awesome place for a couple of drinks with friends!

    Was very excited to check this bar out while in the city for a long weekend. I snagged a reservation for 4 people on Saturday night at 9:30. Upon arrival we were taken up the spiral staircase to our table on the second floor. Our server brought us the menus and gave us a bit of a run down before giving us a few minutes to decide. The menu booklet was very fun and original and all the drink options seemed very creative. I honestly cannot remember what we ordered but we were happy with our choices. The ambiance of the bar was incredibly lively and the DJ just could not have been better. Every song was a bop and it made me really wish that there was a dance floor. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience!

    I can't speak to the quality of food here, but all of the cocktails that my party tried were amazing. We saw this place on a list of the 50 best bars and definitely appreciated the uniqueness of the cocktail menu. I tried the Oregano and maintain that it was the best cocktail I tried during my visit to CDMX. Other people tried the Mezcal margarita, Mr. Pink, and the Rosita de Mezcal (another high scorer in our group) of what I can recall.

    This is a fantastic bar that should be a standard of what a bar can aspire to achieve. It's currently almost on top of the prestigious 50 Best Bar list and it deserves it's high spot. Get your reservations in advance because it's popular for a reason. There will be a line when it opens and tables fill fast. Ask to sit at the bar even if you're asked to sit at a table because sitting at the bar is so much more fun! The menu is well constructed consisting of a themed seasonal section and a classic house cocktail list. Bring a friend or two and order as many as you can because each is fantastic. Try their tequila and mezcal variations even if you don't like those spirits. They're the best on the menu and might just convert you. I've been to most of the bars at the top of the 50 Best Bar list. This is easily the best bar in Mexico City despite the current rankings. It's an essential visit if you want to appreciate flavors.

    The Licorería Limantour venue is a small intimate bar in a relatively central location. The menu has a range of cocktails to choose from, as well as mezcals and tequilas. We sat at the bar as it was a busy evening. Usually this would be my preferred seating, because you l get the chance to see all the cocktails being prepared and the opportunity to interact with the mixologists. Well, this was definitely not the experience I got The mixologist seemed very aloof and not all that interested in interacting. The cocktails were okay.

    Great drink from the weekly menu

    This review is for the speakeasy at the back of the bar. While the bar is loud and boomy, the lounge is quiet and classy. Only a handful of tables and two dedicated bartenders. Unique creations. Handcrafted beauty. Delicious. Highly recommended.

    We were really looking forward to visiting this bar with friends to celebrate my partner's 40th birthday, but the cocktails we ordered were mostly disappointing. The menu we received had some really interesting concepts, with many of the cocktails being food-based. Feeling adventurous, I ordered the "chorizo verde" cocktail, but to my disappointment, it came with a bunch of greens as garnish and tasted nothing like chorizo verde. Similarly, my partner's Champurrado came with a lump of whipped cream that overpowered the entire drink. We did receive a cake on the house to celebrate the birthday so that was a very nice gesture. But if you are looking for a place to enjoy some great cocktails, stop by Handshake or Rayo instead.

    Beso de Angel

    We visited Limontour for a couple of drinks prior to our dinner reservation. The appetizers were good, and the drinks were both creative and interesting. We were able to get seating outside, which was nice. We started with the Patatas Bravas. They were very crispy, nicely salted, and delicious. They were a perfect, small snack to go with our drinks. For cocktails, we tried the Champurrado and Beso de Angel. The Champorado was a strong, chocolate-based drink, similar to an iced hot chocolate but made with tequila instead of Kahlua. It had a rich flavor that paired well with the kick from the tequila. The Beso de Angel was sweet and had chunks of the ice cream (Beso de Angel) at the bottom of the drink, which added an interesting texture. Overall, the cocktails were unique and enjoyable, but they felt more like a one-time experience rather than something I'd order again. Limantour is a great place to try some unique and intriguing drinks. We would love to come back and try their vast selection of distinctive cocktails.

    Delicious cocktails. Well crafted. We sat outside for people watching, which is fabulous depending on the night you go, but the chairs outside are soooooo uncomfortable just fix the sidewalk table and chair situation and it's 5 stars from us. (Note: we did not try any of the food, just the drinks)

Come early as there is usually a line before entering the bar. Atmosphere: to enter into the bar, you have to go downstairs through a refrigerator. In contrast to the bright colors of the taqueria upstairs, Jules was adorned with leathered walls, studded ceilings, and skeletons as table centerpieces. While trendy, it did come off as a little cheesy. Nonetheless, decor did reflect the vibe it was going for. There was limited seating, so if you have a large party would recommend going there early if you have a big party. Later in the night, there is a DJ who plays techno/dance music tends to draw in large crowds of people. Brings in a mixed crowd. Service: Service at the beginning of the night was good, although servers were less attentive as the night got later and more people were entering the bar. Cocktails: The bar offers a good variety of drinks and cocktails--which I can see why people would want to go back to Jules again. My group of friends and I tried about 8 different cocktails and the only one I enjoyed was the Low Key. The Low Key is comparable to a whiskey soul with mezcal garnished with tamarind candy. I did not care much for the other drinks, as some of them were overly sugary.

Honestly, I couldn't find the place at all. In fact I had to call my friend to see where it was. It's hidden inside a hotel and there's construction going around so it was definitely hard to find and walk through especially with heels on. Luckily we had a reservation because there were plenty of people waiting for seating! The man directed us downstairs to the actual speakeasy. What a super cool neat spot! It was quite dim, but we of course got the best seat in the house because of our party size. The music was top 40 which was an interesting touch considering the ambience of this place, but I wasn't complaining. Onto the drinks. I got the infamous - Peanut Butter & Jelly 100000/5 - I honestly think this is the drink that put them on the charts! The different flavors coming together within the drink and the little sandwich. The 'peanut butter & jelly' sandwich cookie was made from white chocolate and jam. I was honestly thoroughly impressed. I knew it was going to be good, but I didn't think it was going to be THIS good! Cookies n cream 5/5 - I'd still give this a 5/5 because it was also a great cocktail, but not as great as the peanut butter & jelly.

Honestly, while it was nice to experience it once and see what everyone talks about, I personally felt it was overrated. I've definitely been to better speakeasies. The atmosphere was extremely loud, the service was average at best, and the drinks were just okay. Some of them looked interesting and creative, but overall they were very alcohol forward and not particularly balanced or memorable to me. Would I go again? Probably not. It was more of a one-and-done experience. That being said, if you're curious because of the reputation and rankings, it may still be worth trying once to experience it for yourself. For me personally, though, it just wasn't anything special compared to other cocktail bars I've visited.

A highlight was the mini trompo of al pastor, which made delicious tacos. We also shared the shrimp tacos with a fresh shrimp and a generous smear of black beans.

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.
