Querétaro


One of the many bars near Calle 5 de Mayo, this place revives traditions of old: a cantina-botanero (bar with snacks) complete with barrels and stools and just a touch of grimy-bar-syndrome. However, it also has a touch of feminine funk and attracts a young crowd out for whiskey, tequila and brandy-fueled fun.
