The full methodPatrick Miller
High-energy Italo since 1985, with a dance-off circle in the middle of the floor. Friday only. Nothing else in the world is quite like it.
Salón Los Ángeles
"Quien no conoce Los Ángeles, no conoce México." A 1937 ballroom still running danzón and salsa on the original floor.
Departamento
An apartment-block roof turned club, with the city’s best crowd and a queue that starts before midnight.
Yu Yu
A small hi-fi room in Roma with a bar programme as considered as the sound. The most consistently good night in the city.
Licorería Limantour
M.N.Roy
A woven-timber pyramid of a room hidden behind an unmarked door. Small, expensive, and genuinely beautiful.
Hanky Panky Cocktail Bar
A speakeasy behind a taquería door, and one of the best cocktail rooms in the Americas. Reserve.
Fünk Club
Rhodesia Club Social
Zinco Jazz Club
A bank vault basement downtown running live jazz six nights a week. Book, or stand.
