Colonia Condesa Bars & Nightlife

FELINA
Ometusco 87, Colonia Condesa
The Condesa neighborhood is packed with bars that are now past their prime, but FELINA is tucked away enough that it still feels like a discovery. With its specialty rum-based cocktails and mid-century furnishings, it has a little bit of a Mad Men feel. The bar's arty crowd heads here after work and on lazy weekend afternoons to enjoy the drinks, watch the skilled bartenders, and listen to the great playlists of obscure soul which the bar is famous for. Get there late and you'll be standing.
The Terrace at Condesa DF
Avenida Veracruz 102, Colonia Condesa
The neighborhood where Condesa DF is located is host to some of the more alternative bars in town but that's definitely not the case at the fourth floor terrace here. Up among the jacaranda trees, guests perch on a few comfy lounge chairs and munch on the offerings from the sushi menu. The cocktails are fairly standard—and good—but it's the views of the turn of the century architecture nearby, and the tranquility that make the hotel's terrace a perfect escape.
