“ Muy comoda bar y servicio muy amable. The drinks were tasty and affordable, but not very strong... so you can try them all. I loved the vibe and the spanglish tolerance ... ”
“ A nice place to have a beer or some cocktail that will totally get you dancing, nice music but a little bit loud if you want to just talk, the prices are not to high and the overall feel is great. A little bit packed on weekend nights. Cheers! ”

“ Nice place with a lot of history. First place in Queretaro to get alcohol license as far as i remember, est. In 1923 ”
“ This is a great little place that contains a lot of history! We tried jamaica burritos and a cocktail made of the special house liquor, all of it was delicious. Jamaica makes an interesting filling that's a bit sweet and tangy at the same time. Drinks are served with some veggies and tajin seasoning, yum! ”
“ Great as always. Very cool to listen to Cnvs live! Craft beer selection is very volatile. ”
“ It's one of those bars that are a little off the beaten track, but within the Centro Historico, that ooze atmosphere. They tend to have a decent selection of regional and local beers. Wonderful place. Cash only. ”
