HANDSHAKE BAR spans two levels, each offering a selection of our most iconic cocktails. Both spaces provide a warm, intimate atmosphere. One level is slightly larger to better accommodate guests.

Reservation Duration:
Reservations last 1 hour and 30 minutes, allowing time to enjoy our cocktails and unique ambiance.

RESERVATION POLICIES:
The maximum number of guests per reservation is six. For groups of five or more, a deposit of $250.00 MXN per additional guest is required, processed via credit card through Open Table.

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.

Deposits are non-refundable if you do not arrive within the grace period.

The cocktails are great but, that about all. Party of three seated at a low table next to each other rather than facing each other making it difficult to talk and could not even have a glimpse of the bar to watch drinks being made. Though reservation was made for 10:30, upon arrival we had to queue for 25min…earlier we arrived at 9pm to see if we could get in and was told we could stay for only 1 hour…it was the same for the 10:30 reservation as we didn’t get in till near 11. Once in, the service was super slow. The only reason it is not a 1-star review is that the drinks were good.

Cocktails were alright. Definitely not "best in city." Service was good. Music was too loud. Sorry, but I just expected more.

Everytime I am in CDMX, I have to come to Handshake! It’s a cocktail experience you will never forget. Each drink is made with such attention to detail and the servers are meticulous in explaining how they curate each drink to make your experience feel magical every single time. You HAVE to make a reservation at least a couple weeks before your trip, but, they make it so easy. My favorite drink here is their take on a Piña Colada— it’s a must try! Their mixed nuts are also a treat, and it has made me love crickets— don’t knock it till you try it! I tell everyone about this bar, and highly suggest it to everyone I meet. My new favorite try was their take on a Gimlet— MUY DELISIOSO!!
