The best bar I've been to in a long time. Full of history and old murals and old photos of Mexico's idols. A great place to go for a beer and nuts or chips. Great music and atmosphere for a fun time with friends! Or to make new ones!

The best bar in Puebla! The atmosphere is very social, with live music and DJ’s of classic mexican tunes and more modern songs as well! The mezcal and tequila drinks are a go to! Me and my friends had the best time of our lives, meeting lots of new people, the entire bar was singing, and it was a magical night overall! The wait to enter the place can be from a 1hr-2hr wait, but they have a beautiful waiting area outside with lights and seating, and the best part is that you can order drinks while you wait! Definitely a must visit in Puebla, will come back!
