One of my favorite hangouts in the area. Key highlights: 1. Great non-alcoholic options inclining their signature “chinampa” drinks which are probiotic sodas and taste amazing with very light sweetness (20 cals) 2. Amazing and healthy food options - one of my favorite snacks is the black hummus made with black sesame 3. Great beers and cocktails if you did want alcoholic options Beyond this - all round great vibe, usually you can always find a spot and the music is always on point

We loved this place! The staff are super friendly! We got both of the tasting flights, and all of the beers and ciders were delicious. Definitely get the hummus negro!

We’ve been venturing to this place while staying in the area for a while. Every time we’ve had a great experience. The staff are all very friendly and passionate about their offering. The cocktails and beers are good quality but the food is the star. Unique dishes that are local and high quality. We’re working our way through the menu! A great spot in the day or evening!

We discovered this hidden gem while exploring Condesa, and I'm so glad we did! The staff is incredibly friendly and provides excellent service. The Jamaica Mezcalitas were absolutely delicious — a must-try! The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for a relaxed evening out. Highly recommend this tavern if you're in the area!

This is a gem in the Amsterdam neighbourhood if you’re looking for something delicious and a little different. One of our favourite places to get amazing craft beers, pulque and other creative drinks. Snacks and food were delicious and beautiful—super interesting and quality ingredients. Staff are friendly, vibe is calm & hip, and the music playlist always good!

Really enjoyed their previous location in Roma Norte and have wanted to visit this new location for awhile now. I can say that it did not disappoint. Laid back, welcoming atmosphere with friendly service. I came for the beer but had to try some food, also. Both were possibly better than at the previous location. They have a different attitude towards their beers than most other brewers in CDMX and it shows in the end result. You really have to experience it for yourself. Don’t pass up the hidromeils, either.

We loved our time here. Gorgeous, cozy bar with an amazing beer menu. We didn’t eat this time but their food menu looked really nice with good vegetarian options. We’ll be back!

We did an incredible brewery tour today. My partner and I learned so much. We started in Condesa and the CEO drove us to one of their brewery sites an hour south of the city at the foot of a volcano and talked to us about sustainability and harvesting from the land they have the brewery on. They make beer, mead, and cider. 5 dogs on the property and the woman that runs the home made us mole and an incredible lunch. Matias has a PhD. in economics, he started a collective with 11 of his friends. He was so well-spoken and knowledgeable. A wonderful day well spent.
