Our Take
Roma Norte's Most Precise Classical Cocktail Bar
Rayo Cocktail Bar is Roma Norte's most precise classical cocktail bar — opened by Daniela Soto-Innes and team. The room is small (28 seats), dimly lit, with a long marble bar and intimate counter seating. World's 50 Best Bars regular since 2022.
The cocktail program is built on classics with Mexican ingredients — chinicuiles, hoja santa, tepache. Bartenders work in silence, ice is hand-cut, and citrus is squeezed to order. The crowd is Mexico City cocktail enthusiasts and visiting bar professionals.
Pair with Handshake after for the most modern technique in the city.
