About Cantina La Ópera
Cantina La Ópera in the Centro Histórico has been serving Mexico City's football fans, politicians, intellectuals, and artists since the 1870s beneath spectacular Belle Époque chandeliers and mahogany-panelled walls still marked by a bullet hole attributed to Pancho Villa. The cantina's tradition of free botanas, excellent tequila, and impassioned football conversation — Club América and Cruz Azul fans somehow coexisting — makes it one of the great sporting social institutions in any city on earth. Visiting on a Liga MX weekend and listening to the table debates is an encounter with Mexico City at its most theatrical.

Baltra Bar
This intimate Roma Norte cocktail bar channels the spirit of the Galápagos Islands with nature-inspired drinks featuring Mexican spirits and endemic ingredients. Ranked among the World's 50 Best Bars, it draws a sophisticated crowd of visiting musicians and athletes looking for Mexico City's best cocktails. The mezcal-based creations are extraordinary.
Cantina La Guadalupana
One of Coyoacán's oldest cantinas, La Guadalupana has served neighbourhood football fans since 1932 in a setting of hand-painted azulejo tiles, bullfighting prints, and antique mirrors. The traditional botana culture—where free small plates come with every drink—makes it perfect for extended pre-match gatherings. Pumas UNAM fans from the nearby university campus have made it their own for decades.
Cantina La No Te Rajes
La No Te Rajes in Colonia Roma is a classic Mexico City cantina where Club América and Cruz Azul fans have been settling Liga MX disputes over mezcal and botanas for generations. The dim lighting, wooden bar, and no-nonsense service embody the authentic cantina culture that tourists rarely find, and on Clásico Nacional match days the debate gets so heated that the botana platters arrive automatically to absorb the passion. A true capitalino fan institution.
Handshake Speakeasy
Ranked #1 on the World's 50 Best Bars list, this underground speakeasy in Colonia Juárez is accessed through a secret entrance. Mexican spirits (mezcal, sotol, raicilla) meet theatrical presentation. Club América players, visiting Hollywood stars, and Mexico's nightlife elite make this their sanctuary.
