Our Take
World's Best Bar 2024 in Roma Norte
Handshake Speakeasy is the World's Best Bar 2024 — a hidden Roma Norte cocktail laboratory from Eric Van Beek and team. The entrance is unmarked, reservations are required two months ahead, and the cocktail menu changes seasonally with full tasting flights available.
The bartenders apply hyper-modern technique — clarification, fat-washing, custom ice, tableside theatrical builds. Every cocktail comes with a printed card explaining the ingredients and the historical reference. The bar room is intimate — 32 seats, dim, theatrical.
Pair with Limantour earlier for a more classical complement.
What to Order
Coriander Margarita
Tequila, lime, coriander reduction. Their hyper-modern signature.
Banana Negroni
Banana-fat-washed gin, banana vermouth, Campari. The most theatrical drink in Mexico City.
Tasting Flight
Five seasonal cocktails. The way to use the bar.
Bartender Choice
You describe a mood, they build the drink. Trust completely.
