Jazzatlán

Top choice in Cholula


One of Mexico's jazz hot spots has diverse local and international musicians (playing live from 9.30pm Tuesdays to Saturdays; at 4pm, 6pm and 8pm Sundays) that include tribute acts to Dylan and Aretha, Latin-infused trios and Sunday swing afternoons. Check the website for the events calendar.

Good cocktails, craft beer and bistro meals are on offer. A rarity for Mexico, there is a happy hour from 6pm to 8pm Tuesdays to Fridays, and Wednesdays and Thursdays are half-priced gin or mezcal nights.
