Bar Belmar

Mazatlán


This simple bar only really serves one thing: Pacifico beer, which has been a fixture of city life ever since the Germans opened the local brewery in 1900. Have it plain, or have it served michelada-style, with pungent chili powder on the rim, with lime and Clamato juice, kick back and settle down for a spell of people-watching, come evening.
