In this Guide
YuYu Cine Club
Calle Versalles 9406600 Ciudad de México, CMXMexico
“I love playing at YuYu cause it’s what a real nightclub should be - a dark, sweaty little basement, a sound system you can feel in your bones and a no phones on the dance floor policy. Mostly techno & electronic music, but you can find some more soulful disco and house played here too.”

Casa Franca
Merida 10906700 Ciudad de México, CMXMexico

Sic
Calle Versalles 6406600 Ciudad de México, CMXMexico
“As a straight woman I’m probably not the one to tell you what the best Queer club night is, but I have enjoyed many a Saturday night dancing in Sic. They always have a sick (pun intended) line-up of DJ’s and a dance floor full of friendly faces. Only open on Saturdays.”

Teatro Lucido
Calle Doctor Enrique González Martínez 23406400 Ciudad de México, CMXMexico
“I love love love Teatro Lucido, it’s part theatre, part venue, part club, part someone’s home.. It’s a unique experience where everyone is a part of the performance, from immersive theatre to live bands to erotic poetry to DJ sets, anything can happen at Teatro Lucido. Check their instagram for dates / events.”

Salon San Luis
Avenida Año de Juárez 970116610 Ciudad de México, CMXMexico
+52 55 3239 7595
“An absolute must if you’re visiting CDMX, guaranteed good times with a live salsa and cumbia band in a beautiful Salon with checkered dance floor. Get a table with your friends, buy a bottle, order some fries and stay there dancing till 4AM. I’m not telling you to take mushrooms here but I’m not telling you not to either.”
More Info
Choza
Monterrey 19406700 Ciudad de México, CMXMexico
“Choza is everyone’s favourite spot to be honest. Its got a vibe like no other, the food is out of this world and owner Tyler and in-house selector / MD Covagrooviest have been building a record collection full of rare and wonderful audio delights for years. On Mondays they have the “Lunes Listening Lounge” where they play 3 records in their entirety alongside guest DJ’s, friends and family. You can catch me there hanging, eating and sippin’ most weekends.”

SundaySunday
Tabaqueros 1606000 Ciudad de México, CMXMexico
“As the name suggests, this is the spot for Sunday afternoon through evening partying. Always bringing a heated line-up of international and local electronic DJs, the venue is pretty special also, located in the Historic Centre of the city on the 6th floor with killer views, definitely slide through for a sunset rave.”
