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!

The music was a good volume and was catchy, lots of people were dancing. It was busy but not overly crowded around 2am last night. They closed up pretty much right at 3am but were a little lenient about letting us finish our drinks. The bartenders were nice enough. No cover when I went although there was security at the door. They do allow smoking inside so if you're sensitive to the smell it's something to be aware of, although it's fairly spacious and they had the outside door open so it didn't get aggressively pungent.

I tried the Senor del Rayo, a Mezcal cocktail with cucumber lemon juice and grasshopper salt. It was just overly ambitious, both spicy and overly sweet. Our friends met us after dinner so tried a "dessert drink," the La Capillita with Chocolate liquor, Mezcal and evaporated milk that was decent but one note. The meat/cheese plate looked incredibly small and disappointing, and people at the next table barely touched it and didn't recommend. My friends did enjoy their margaritas, and my top shelf friend enjoyed his Mezcal from their decent assortment. Thought the decor/artwork and layout was cool. Found the interior way too bright for primarily a bar, though. Staff was great and bartenders were working hard--find it hard to recommend based on food/drinks, but hope they work out the kinks
