La Jalisciense, Tlalpan

I was taken to this bar by friends about five years ago, and loved the place straight away, there is a very special atmosphere at this bar where everyone makes you feel welcome. Since then the Drink Team has spent many a night in this place, just off the 'zocalo' in Tlalpan in the south of Mexico City, it's quite a bit off the beaten track as far as tourists go, but that's probably why we like it. An historic cantina that has been around for over 130 years. There's decorations on the wall probably from when they first opened. No plasma TV's here, because you don't need them, this place isn't about that. It's about enjoying several drinks and having good conversation. The bartenders care and knowledge of what they serve is second to none. The only drawback is it usually shuts too early, but there are no shortage of other bars within staggering distance. Highly recommended.
