500 Noches

Chiapas


Soaring ceilings and romantic nooks populate this cavernous restaurant-bar specializing in tapas and 80-plus wines, as well as craft beers. The big draw is the live trova folk music (Thursday to Saturday at 8pm), so it's worth coming by for drinks or dessert. Great hot chocolate and churro bar, too.
