Multiple reservations and combining tables from different bookings are not allowed. There is a 15-minute grace period; after this time, the reservation will be marked as a no-show.

The cocktails were AMAZING! However, the ambience has areas of improvement. The music was pumping, and it felt like we were at a club. I believe this kind of bar might benefit of a more jazzy vibe.

Truly outstanding drinks with a terrific balance of flavors. Butter mushroom Old Fashioned for example had just a hint of maple syrup without being over sweet or cloying. Matcha martini had a hint of matcha that enhanced the base gin martini without overwhelming it. Bartenders were friendly, had a great sense of humor and engaging without being intrusive. Well worth the experience.

No me gustó que sólo te dejan estar una hora y media y por lo mismo desde que llegas te atienden muy rápido y todo el tiempo te están apurando.

Absolutely worth it. Jared was very nice and made the most amazing drinks with the other two bartenders who were also very nice and knowledgeable. I loved my experience from begging to end.

Desde que entras al lugar sabes que será una experiencia especial. Con el primer cóctel sabes el porqué está dentro de los 50 best, y este año en primer lugar. Probamos tragos sin alcohol, los de entrada y los clásicos y todos nos encantaron. El servicio ameno, atento y muy mexicano, cosa que se ha perdido en otros espacios similares

Ya me fui incontables veces al bar, cierto que es mi favorito entre los que conozco en Ciudad de México, y los que tuve el gusto de conocer por el mundo. Llevo clientes, amigos y familia… es un ambiente para todos. Me gusta más el bar de la parte de abajo. Los meseros son siempre increíbles y atenciosos, es un lugar totalmente diferenciado. No hay un trago que yo tenga probado que no me gustó! El fuerte del bar no es la comida, pero no esta mal.

Had a fantastic time at Handshake speakeasy. Fabulous mixology by talented bartenders. Loved the Saffron, old fashioned and Guava Jasmine cocktails! Well worth a visit if you’re in Mexico City.
