La negrita

La Negrita is a great, inexpensive place for drinks and small plates. The vibe is really the best part though. It’s crowded, full of music and laughter. This is a great place to meet both locals and tourists. Getting a table here can be tricky so plan ahead.

La Fundación Mezcaleria

 This is an awesome bar. They’ve nailed everything: great decor/lighting/interior space; top music ( live funk band, followed by  DJ playing quite a varied mix: lots of reggaeton; funk; ska); great drinks list; a fun and welcoming crowd (mostly locals, some language students & tourists too). Good vibes, good times!

The Gay Bars/Cantinas:

BLUE GAY CLUB

This must be the most known gay club in Merida, just 10 minutes away from centro. It gather a eclectic gay crowd,  locals, tourists, young, old, everyone comes here. There is a little bit for every one, so this place can be very fun. The night starts with a Drag Queen Shows and lipsing performances. After the Drag there comes the strippers, muscle handsome guys leaves nothing to imagination (later on on the night you can buy them a drink to have a interesting chat with them). After the strippers show the dance floor is open and everyone jump on it to dance. The music vary between, pop, circuit, reggaeton.

 Colon Avenue with Reforma Avenue. Inside the parking of the Colon Cinemas.

TABARA (Temporally Closed)

This urban cabaret was open recently in the northern part of the City, and quickly gained popularity thanks to its new concept, its well designed spaces, decoration and lets don´t forget the cool performances. I would say is fancier than the other bars, but still everyone is welcome. Thursday are for Ru Paul Drag Race fans, the episode is being broadcasted live (Yas Gawd!).
