Place has a great vibe including good service from servers and bartenders. We actually stumbled across this bar on google and wanted to try it, we didn’t have a reservation which is best as they are fairly booked however we were let in for a limited of time before the table was needed to try it out which was cool. The drinks are very unique flavor profiles to your classic cocktails. I prefer clastic style cocktails so it was a little weird for my personal palette. However I definitely recommend for the experience of this speakeasy bar. Cheers.

Speakeasy with an easy to find entrance, very friendly staff and friendly bartenders always ready to give explanations. The quality of the cocktails is impeccable, well balanced with original and classic choices. The prices are in the average of what we can find elsewhere in the world.
A seat at the bar allows you to see the bartenders prepare your cocktail with a bit of show. They fully deserve their place in the top 50 bars in America.
Worth a visit.

Drinking art. I’ve been to a countless number of bars but Handshake was without a doubt my favorite experience. The space is dark, moody, and elevated. The staff is courteous and incredibly knowledgeable about each and every technique. And the drinks. Where do I begin. My favorite was their matcha gin cocktail, which had a large ice cube sprinkled with white chocolate to look like a Japanese winter landscape topped with delicate flowers. It was superb. Handshake was the highlight of my time in Mexico City. I can’t recommend it enough

This place has amazing drinks for a reasonable price and very intelligent bartenders who know how to explain the drinks and what they’re talking about. I had two drinks, the first one was a butter mushroom old fashioned and though it was a bit buttery for me, it was very tasty. The second drink was a matcha drink and besides being a bit sweet, i finished it quickly! Beautiful atmosphere, would definitely come again

How can I describe the amazing time I had at handshake. I wasn’t expecting this experience at all, hidden gem in CDMX. And talking about our mixologist, Mario, super five stars. He welcomed us to the beautiful bar and explained every single item on the menu, he took care of every single detail in terms of presentation and flavors about all drinks we ordered. Besides the drinks in the menu he was super professional and knew about other drinks we wanted to have and made those for us. Very knowledgeable about worldwide drinks. Apart from the amazing drinks, Mario’s hospitality was great, always with a smile and extremely kind. Kudos for him and this place. If you want to go to an exclusive place in CDMX, this is the place, and make sure you ask for Mario for an outstanding experience.
