Wallace Whisky Bar
Bar, Mexican, $$$
As Wallace Whisky Bar is regularly considered the best whisky bar in Mexico City, it seems odd to include it on a guide to off-the-beaten-path drinking destinations. However, when so much of travelers’ attention falls squarely on tequila, mezcal and, to a lesser extent, pulque, it’s easy to forget there are other options out there, which causes this homely spot – which offers over 150 labels and some impressive house cocktails – to fly somewhat under the radar. Even if you don’t fancy a drink, you can play pool or darts, and listen to some live music.
