Bijou Drinkery Room is one of Mexico Cityâs most talked-about cocktail experiences â part mystery, part art, part playful mixology. Its concept leans into the hidden speakeasy aesthetic: discreet entry, hidden doors, velvet curtains, stained glass, and mid-century touches. According to 50 Best, its design evokes the âBijou cocktailâ (gin, vermouth, chartreuse) with jewel-tone glass panels and gem motifs behind the bar. Once inside, guests can order in a conventional way, but Bijou is known for an interactive twist: a Rubikâs Cube âTwisted Menuâ concept. Patrons pick a combination of base spirit, flavor, texture, and modifiers via the cube, which bartenders translate into a custom cocktail. 50 Best notes this unlocks more unheard flavor profiles for the bartenders to experiment with. The food side is kept light but thoughtful, with bar snacks and riffs on local plates (e.g. empanaditas) so you can sip without going hungry. The setting is intimate and moody â low lighting, plush seating, velvet drapes, rich tones â designed for lingering and conversation. Entry is via a hidden route (they hint âyou are one code away from a true jewelry experienceâ on their website) Bijou has gained recognition as a newcomer on North Americaâs bar scene: in 2025 it ranked No. 34 on North Americaâs 50 Best Bars list. In practice, expect some wait or queueing at reception, especially during peak hours. Some visitor reviews mention a bit of fuzziness in the clandestine ingress, but once inside the polished environment and creative cocktails often win people over. All in all: Bijou Drinkery Room is for cocktail lovers who enjoy mystery, interaction, and craftsmanship more than high volumes or loud crowds.
