Licorería Limantour

"Opened in 2011, Limantour started modestly with drinks inspired by the international cocktail scene and the occasional startling Mexican ingredient. It played a significant role in the emergence of modern Mexican mixology." - Nils Bernstein

"Licorería Limantour, which is one of the top five spots." - BySam Stone

"This airy, two-storied bar in Mexico City has an Art Deco feel and a terrace with excellent people-watching opportunities. Order a Margarita or Paloma, and spend an afternoon chatting with some of the city’s most talented bartenders." - Oset Babür-Winter

"The bar may be more than a decade old, but it continues to delight guests with a menu that rotates every six months, while keeping mainstays like their Mexican old-fashioned (a whisky-based cocktail, fat-washed with cacao and nutmeg) on the menu. Its seasonal menu features inventive cocktails using local ingredients like the whiskey-based, lobster mushroom drink with butter. Trust the friendly and knowledgeable staff to help find the perfect cocktail. Visit for a drink before bopping over to any one of the popular dining spots located within walking distance, or stay for a few and work your way through the menu. The two-story bar is the perfect place to see and be seen." - Ximena N. Beltran Quan Kiu

"Limantour is considered a top spot for cocktails in Mexico City, so much so that its mixologists train others across the capital. Cocktail connoisseurs flock here to see the art in action, but it's also popular with a generally trendy crowd. Bartenders mix up creative Mexican-infused takes on classic cocktails, though the food—a snacky selection of small plates like guacamole and tostadas—is a bit of an afterthought." - Susannah Rigg, Scarlett Lindeman
