Discover some of the most popular spots in Mexico City

Cicatriz
One of my favorite places in the entire city, this bar is a gem in Plaza Washington. Intimate and unique, Cicatriz is a small bar with a delicious food menu. The music elevates the night beautifully, and it’s the perfect spot for a first date because the volume is just right. The drinks are wild—I recommend the Yoko, a mezcal and Aperol Spritz mix that you’ll fall in love with. They don’t take reservations, so keep that in mind.
Bar
Zinco Jazz Club
Probably one of the most famous jazz venues in CDMX, so I’m telling you now: make a reservation if you want to experience an authentic jazz night as if you were in New Orleans. With a varied lineup every night, Zinco Jazz Club will become your favorite spot if jazz is your genre of choice. Whether you go with a partner, on a date, or with a small group of friends, everyone will thank you for introducing them to this bar. They also serve food!

Ajeno
Right on Álvaro Obregón Avenue you’ll find a restaurant/bar/listening room that has a little bit of everything: signature drinks, delicious food, and most importantly, a vinyl selection that plays throughout the day. Although the collection is small, it’s the perfect touch to make this a must-visit. Every week they post the “musical menu” on Instagram, featuring jazz, funk, and electronic music for a unique experience.
Brunch
Café de Nadie
A restaurant/bar with a very original gastronomic proposal. Speaking of music, it’s one of those places with unique selections (more than 1,500 vinyl records!!!) so the music–food mix easily earns five stars. Whether you want coffee, a beer, or simply to enjoy the food, Café de Nadie won’t disappoint with its musical selection. Occasionally they host guest DJs. I recommend booking a table, although it’s not mandatory.
Bar
Emilio Dondé & Balderas
Not a venue per se, but this street is full of vinyl stands at great prices. From collectors to casual music lovers, you’ll find gems you haven’t seen in years. Prices range from $50 MXN to $500 MXN, and if your goal is to expand your vinyl collection, you absolutely have to come here.
