Licorería LimantourA pioneering cocktail den in the heart of Roma Norte since 2011, with a livelier bar scene downstairs and a calmer lounge upstairs. The bar's own site says it welcomes both adventurous and classic tastes, and the menu rotates seasonally around Mexican culture, art and street flavors.Book ahead

Bar MauroA 1970s-Milan-styled aperitivo den built as a tribute to the owners' grandfather, Don Mauro — black-and-white Italian prints on the walls, shelves lined with hard-to-find amari and vermouths, and a bio that reads simply 'Aperitivos día y noche.' It runs walk-ins only, no reservations.Walk-ins only

BrujasAn all-female-led cocktail bar set inside the Casa de las Brujas, a building said to have once housed a healer, with a dim, witchy, wood-and-taxidermy interior built around Mexican herbalism. Drinks are mixed from botanicals prepared in the bar's own lab, and the current menu reimagines ten historical women through ten cocktails. It plays as theatrical and intimate rather than loud — more ritual than rager.Book ahead
