Dandy del Sur Cantina

Low lit ambience. The decoration is from the time when photos were in black and white.

The music is played but it's not ear-pounding loud. The Jukebox has the "rock and roll" and "soft rock" classics that I like from the 60s to the 2000s. Of course they have Spanish music too which I don't know much about. However, I'm overjoyed that they have the album from my favourite indie band "The Sounds".

One of the cleanest bars compared to the rest of the small bars on or near Revolution.

It's more of a place where you sit, drink, laugh, and conversate. Many times I'll see just two friends sitting next to each other and talking about whatever it is they are talking about. It's not really a place to drink and dance. Unless you're like me and dance in front of the Jukebox while you're choosing the next song.

The patrons tend to be in the upper 20s or older. Also, the typical patrons of the Dandy tend to be dressed as what I would label as "yuppies" and "hipster". This is just an overtly generalized observation I have about its patrons.

All in all, a place to chill if you and a buddy go for a drink and chat about whatever.

Great bar, amazing historic place. Always a good place to stop by. Great bar tenders, from the al capone era

The best margaritas in Tijuana and they know it!

They don't serve food of any kind, so it's dangerous to show up hungry. But, they do have mysterious bar peanuts that are delightful.

Dark and cozy, a celeb chef supposedly has this on his short list of dive bars he loves- which makes it even more confusing that they don't serve food.

One of the best pizza places in tijuana downtown, is small but cool, the owner is super friendly and you can put your own music if you ask him to do it

$120 pesos the large pizza

Ask for the 4 cheese pizza

Obligatory stop, even if you're on a one day vacay. The answer to a dive in Tijuana is this place. Even before Bourdain came here, this spot was a hidden gem. The reason is pretty obvious once you get there.
Service is awesome. They greet you at the door right when you walk up to the velvet rope. The hostess isn't ready to seat you? Have a rest on one of the cozy chairs in the waiting area. You've got options, the bar or the old school cocktail tables you'd see in movies from the 50s and 60s. You know, those small ones where it's just meant to hold your drink and nothing more. Love that touch.
We had the special they had at the moment, though I'm sure I've had it there before but what do I know...was probably really drunk last time. It was a tamarindo margarita and it was delicious. Bartender was on point, I didn't even finish sipping the last sip before she came up and asked if we wanted another round.
Bathroom was clean, but very little privacy. I'll take that over a dirty latrine any day.
You'll walk out knowing why ppl come here and why it's popular with both tourists and locals.
Go here.
