About @nahumball

Hi, I’m Nahum, a local in CDMX sharing the city through its flavors and everyday experiences. Think sushi bars in hidden corners, cantinas with history, and the kind of spots you’d only hear about from a friend who lives here. Follow me to eat (and explore) like a local.

Boadas Cocktails

A cocktail bar remembered because Hemingway used to frequent it, but the ghost that truly matters here is Miquel Boadas, who in 1933 brought the Caribbean spirit and the savoir-faire of La Floridita (Cuba) to a little alley off Tallers. Here, the shaker isn’t shaken, it’s officiated.

Salts - Terrassa Bar Montjuïc

Coldest beer in BCN. Bravas are delicious. The view is everything. Favorite Sunday plan: coffee at La Galena, Miro Museum and a drink at Salts

La Faena

La Faena Cantina is one of the most traditional spots in the Historic Center, decorated with matador suits, bullfighting posters, and oil paintings that make it feel like a museum. A place with history, classic bar snacks, cold beer, and that authentic vibe only a Mexico City cantina can have!

El Caracol Tap Room

The new bar from the Tarabaña brewery in Colonia Roma, straight from the State of Mexico. It is a project I have been following, and their beers will no doubt win you over!

Brisa Tap Room

Another relatively new spot in Mexico City from the Canneria brewery straight from Ensenada. A small place that feels like home with a wide variety of beer straight from the tap.

Cerveseria Vaso de Oro

Narrow Barceloneta bar serving delicious beer with classic tapas. Loud, fast, with friendly staff. The solomillo with foie is a signature and their house-made beers are very tasty.
