If you are not from the area, a.k.a. a visitor to MX city they will try to rip you off. Poe had a lot of potential; the speakeasy is located in the back of the kitchen of a restaurant which is somewhat edgy and fun. However, once you get into the actual bar it gets weird. I got pat down extensively by the bouncer lady u0026 she took my gum even after I said "Es chiclet" and either kept it for herself or threw it away.
Now, onto the real part. We ordered two drinks because we were not fully committed to bottle service yet. The drinks arrived, one manhattan and a vodka soda. There was NO, I repeat NO alcohol in either drink u0026 the Manhattan was a Cosmo. When we asked them to remake it, they brought back the drinks u0026 then forced us to close out our tab. The vodka soda still did not have any vodka, but at least the Manhattan was now a Manhattan (kinda).
They told me my tab was $340 for 2 drinks. When I asked how this was the price, then showed them the calculation on my phone of what we ordered, they changed the price to $280. I paid, then for a receipt. They were unable to provide one and could not give me a reason for why other than I had already paid.
We then got basically kicked off our table for a group of people that didn't even buy bottle service even though we had already paid for two drinks that were the most expensive u0026 terrible I had in Mexico city for my entire 3 day stay.
Again, if you are a visitor looking to experience Mexico city nightlife, skip this place. Poor customer service and unreasonable prices.
