My friend quickly said okay not understanding what had just happened until it hit her that she had shushed her. We had reservations and were ready to drop a lot of money for drinks but we asked a server who that lady was and he explained that it was the owner so we got up and left! Many of us were Mexican, others American but we were not about to be support such a place and be treated like that. Super super rude! The servers were nice and respectful though. So- again- don't come here. We weren't even loud but apparently the owner wants a library type of place- lame.

I am extremely disappointed with the way we were treated at Selva Bar. We traveled to Oaxaca to…read morecelebrate my 50th birthday and made reservations in advance as smaller groups of 4-6 people, even though we were ultimately a larger group of 22 celebrating together. From the moment we arrived, the owner was snotty, dismissive, and completely disrespectful. She immediately assumed that because we were a larger group, we would be unruly -- which was absolutely not the case. We are a group of adults celebrating a milestone birthday, and we expected to be treated with basic courtesy. I wasn't even given the opportunity to try a drink before feeling judged and unwelcome. Instead of hospitality, we were met with rudeness and hostility. There was no effort to communicate calmly or work with us despite the fact that we had planned ahead and made reservations responsibly. I have never been treated the way she treated us. It was embarrassing and disappointing, especially on such a special occasion. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I would not recommend this establishment. No one should be treated the way we were!

We ordered the mescalines with guajillo-Tamarindo y maracuya. They were both delicious! The restaurant (and restrooms) were super clean. There are several seating area, the main dining room, a side lounge area, and the patio. It was only empty because we got there when they were first opening for the day. We will definitely return on this trip!

We walked in about an hour before close, and the bar was as lively as ever. While downstairs had more of a lounge vibe, the rooftop bar was buzzing with locals and loud music. Overall a bit grubby, but nothing unexpected of a typical dive bar. Staff are a bit brusque but well-intentioned. PULQUE: I could only dream that this was more popular in the US. Sweet, almost fruity, and smooth. Almost like a light, pulpy, alcoholic orange juice. New to pulque, but this was a delicious and great start. Impressively vast selection of craft beers, wines, and liquor. You're bound to find something for everyone.

I know it sounds like hyperbole, but it was fabulous, as was the ambiance. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants an informal dinner of the best quality. Try the Ensalada Costumbre and any of the pizzas. I'm not into mezcal, and I had one of the best tequila margaritas I've had in Oaxaca. Don't miss it for a fine informal meal!

Lounge was small but I guess appropriate for the size of the airport. Their check in process was wonky as their desks downstairs and the lounge entrance were unstaffed. Once checked in, was lucky and found seats together near an outlet but really it's a gamble out here. Table cleaning is slow and while there seems to be a menu that you can order from, service was almost nonexistent. The least attentive staff I've ever experienced in a lounge but like I said, I had access to chairs, charging, and a fully stocked fridge with waters, soda, beer, hard liquor, and coffee. WiFi sucked. You win some, you lose some.

Really wanted to find a decent Italian place. It looked nice w a garden courtyard. Modern. But just…read morelike any other cheaper place that serves Italian in the city, the pasta was mushy. They even described it in the menu as "Al dente " and it was so soft. Bummer! And unfortunately the steak looked and tasted bad. Salty and a weird rubbery texture. The cauliflower appetizer was turned to mush. Please get a cook that knows Continental food! Let your cook eat a few Italian dinners in the US or Mexico City so they know it should have texture and not all be soft baby food. It's a great looking place and we need some variety in restaurants in the city just please step it up. Oaxaca is on the verge of breaking through even in non Mexican foods.

We were very hungry and it was very hot as it was 88 degrees in Oaxaca. We decided to start with a few drinks. The drinks were ok, a bit sweet and did not taste like mezcal at all or like they had any alcohol. I was very disappointed. We also had a tlayuda which was a decent portion and filling but it was way overpriced. They charge $260 pesos where in other places they charged around $170 for the exact same portion. The only good thing about this restaurant is the view of the Templo de Santo Domingo from the rooftop which was gorgeous. Our servers were also attentive.
