La Con-fresa doesn’t really have dive bars but there are three standouts we’d like to recommend where you can get relatively cheap drinks and have a great atmosphere.
La Felina: Baja California and Ometusco (near Metro Patriotismo): La Felina is one of those bars that does just about everything right: beers for 25 pesos, Mezcal shots for 40, an ambiance that is both hip but not too overdone, and fantastic DJs on the weekends (usually hip hop, funk, or new wave). It’s small and if you don’t get a seat there be 9pm you’re probably not getting one, but that’s OK, standing and bumping into people in the crowded venue is more likely to force you into talking to your neighbor and making a new friend…which is one of the main things that should be happening in a “dive bar”—even if this spot is too cool to be one.
El Centenario: Vincente Suarez and Michoacan: This joint is a cantina meaning bright fluorescent lights (even at midnight), restaurant style tables, and botanas (cheap/free food depending on how many drinks you buy). I wouldn’t say it’s one of the top cantinas in town but it’s right in the very center of the Condesa bar scene, making the location extremely convenient. You could even say it’s an oasis of Mexican culture in one of the most un-Mexican places in Mexico, well besides Cancun. Beers: 25 pesos
Bizarro: Yucatan and Alvaro Obregon: One the border of Condesa and Roma Norte, this goth/metal bar is great place to grab a drink when you’re in the mood for thrashing electric guitar music and jet-black hair dye. 25 peso beers and 20 peso glasses of wine keep the place packed even on weekdays.
