They had a few TVs with some sports on which is why we chose this place. Service was friendly, and quick to take your initial order but after that it was kinda hard to order a second or third drink you really had to flag them down. We came back on a second visit and they were out of some of the beers we ordered the previous visit. On the plus side the beers were ice cold. Much colder than out of the refrigerator which made it so easy to drink.

There was no live music when I was there but I did see a stage presumably for that purpose. Prices are decent, domestic beers in the $60-70 pesos range. Lots of tapas on the menu as well but I didn't partake in any food. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. They take Apple Pay which is a nice convenience (I lost my card). They were very accommodating about this. English-friendly too if it matters. I heard lots of English being spoken among the patrons and the staff was all fluent.

We found this piano bar in the Juarez neighborhood set on the 2nd floor of a cute bookstore. We had…read morereservations at a bar nearby and were looking for a spot to chill at for an hour or so and ordered a rose sangria to share. We heard that we had to order food to get a drink so we got an order of guacamole to share. The sangria was light and refreshing with slices of apple, pear and cantaloupe. The piano player was playing popular broadway and musical tunes and the atmosphere was great! Loved finding this bar on a whim.

The space is small but the way your seated only makes it that much more intimate. The gentleman at the door who came out to help us translate was originally from Downtown LA. So that was pretty cool being that I too am from LA. The theme of the night as far as music was all soul and the singer did a killer James Brown impersonation. I feel like we found a hidden gem in the centro of Mexico City! Please make it part of your visit. You will be far from disappointed, promise!

It's a cool place, the staff are really helpful and friendly (even to those who don't speak a lot of Spanish..), and all of the bands we saw were a lot of fun. The nights we were there, it was ska core, oi, and some rocksteady. The bands play upstairs and there is seating downstairs, the music that was played downstairs was really good too, mostly just good ol' punk. One last note: ladies, take toilet paper with you, as there isn't always any in the bathroom

This was one of the most uncomfortable and concerning experiences I've ever had…read more The bar was still open when my husband asked to use the restroom. The owner was in the bathroom area at the time and told him no. My husband respectfully asked why, since the place was still open and he genuinely needed to go. Instead of responding professionally, the owner became visibly aggressive and told him not to keep asking or he would send him back "in pieces." What makes this even more concerning is that this area is filled with tourists. It is definitely not worth visiting this place and risking your safety.. be aware of this " OWNER" who just hangs out in the bathroom. That's him the one looking at his phone!!!

I suggest you eat before or after. Facing the place on the right is the restaurant that on is where they get the food. We ate there afterwards and it was really good.

The food was a bit subpar, but it was such a great performance we didn't even mind, lol. We had a big appetizer type option and it was more like something reheated from the frozen section of the supermarket. The next time we would eat prior to the show and buy a bottle of wine at the venue. I would definitely return for the show and lively Girabaldi plaza!
