Brujas

Nestled in Roma Norte’s iconic Casa de las Brujas (“House of the Witches”), Brujas is not just a bar—it’s a narrative in liquid form. Its gothic-like façade, crowned by a witch-hat–shaped roof, hints at the mystical experience within. Upon entering, you’re greeted by the scent of copal incense, warming woods, dim lighting, and herb-lined shelves—creating a ritual-like ambiance that sets a mindful and intimate tone. This female-led cocktail sanctuary celebrates Mexican herbalism and the women—healers, activists, writers—who’ve challenged norms. Each cocktail is infused with herbal ingredients—sage, lavender, squash blossoms, wildflowers—and is paired with a graphic-novel–style story that honors trailblazing Latin American women and folkloric witches. Drinks like the mezcal + coffee “Lenca,” honoring activist Berta Cáceres, or a strawberry-infused twist on the French 75 inspired by Marie Laveau, are mesmerizing both in taste and narrative. The décor feels like a witch’s lair and a cozy living room combined—shelves stocked with jars of roots, barks, and botanical curiosities; small seating areas perfect for intimate conversations; and a friendly yet powerful all-woman staff (lovingly called the “coven”) who guide you through the experience with warmth and intentionality. Menu cycles every few months with new themes—from folkloric witches to feminist icons—always tethering herbal mixology to storytelling. The drinks can be bold and balanced, mixing mezcal, gin, tequila, and Mexican botanicals in ways that feel both familiar and unexpectedly magical. Beyond cocktails, Brujas offers a lush, moody patio and terrace, perfect for outdoor sipping under the radar. It’s a place where history, ritual, feminism, and craft cocktails converge—making Brujas one of Mexico City's most unique and empowering bar experiences.
