Drinking in Mexico city - showing your I.D















One thing that most people don´t take out in thier bags when they are wandering around Mexico city is Identification but its a very good idea if you want to be able to buy alcohol and sit and have a beer or two. Federal law states that any person caught selling alcohol to minors can face upto a 7 year prison sentence and for that reason, especially in Mexico city, no matter if you look 25 or 65, you may be asked to show your proof of age before you are served with alcohol, so remember, always carry official I.D!

Night life in Mexico city - Condesa


One of our favourite bars if you want a friendly and relaxed drink in the Condesa.
Opened and still owned by three childhood friends, the bar has now been running with much sucess for a number of years and still retains some of its staff from the day it opened its doors for the first time over three years ago.
If you like Whiskey, "Diente de Oro" is the bar for you to visit whilst in Mexico City, with a very large range of Whiskies from all over the world aswell as drinks from Mexican beers to rums and tequilas. Most people comment that even as a traveller in Mexico city, they find that the charming little bar has a familiar and friendly "local" bar feel. The music ranges from Rock to Reggae and the dress code is casual. The bar certainly has a "feel" that you don´t usually find in this area of the city.
The staff are a fashionable young bunch and are always friendly and attentive - you get the feeling that they really like thier jobs and the atmosphere at the bar. Atleast two of the staff to my knowledge speak English, so no problems if you don´t speak spanish.
Prices start from $40 Mexican Pesos for a beer and starting around $60 for rum and whiskey.
Diente de Oro is open from 6pm, 7 days a week with the bar closing at 1.30am Fridays and Saturdays.
