    This is one place that lives up to the hype! We had a lot of fun. My favorite drink was the Fig Negroni and my daughter’s favorite was the Saffron

    It’s a fine bar, but not what we expected given the hype. Cocktails were interesting but the difficulty getting a reservation, waiting in line, sub-average service, poor food choices, and lack of interaction with bartenders were very disappointing. Despite not being let in until 15 minutes after our 9p reservation time, we were given an abrupt last call at 10p after less than an hour although most of the bar seats were empty. When we left there was no longer a line outdoors. Made me think that the earlier line was manufactured and the last call was just a rule to imply exclusivity, rather than a way to manage demand. The biggest surprise of the night? No Fernet-Branca at a bar named Handshake. Go figure. There are much more fun and interesting bars to visit in CDMX. One last nitpick - they should do away with shouting bienvenidos and buenos tardes every time someone enters or exits. It’s cute the first time, but after an hour they didn’t need to rush us out, we were ready to go.

    There is no way this bar should be considered the #1 bar in the world. Most local cocktail spots in any big city have better drinks. They batch make everything and drinks are 5/10 at best. I am genuinely bewildered how they achieved this supposed #1 bar in the world ranking

    Loved our experience so much we snagged another reservation for later this week. There are 2 separate bars, with apparently different menus. Everything we tried was amazing. We were sat at the bar so we had a front row view for everything the bartenders were doing and it was amazing to see how they work together to make some very complex drinks. Seating is limited to 1.5 hours and they make that clear when you arrive. Did not try any of the food but it looked good.

    I did not order food, but I ordered the Matcha Martini and Espresso Martini with Mezcal. Beautiful bar, definitely worth the reservation. Servers were chill, fun and attentive. Drinks 11/10. So happy I went to Handshake!

    Really amazing experience, from the drinks to the service. Loved the vibe in the bar, it didn’t feel like we were in Mexico City. All the bartenders have great and high energy, pretty amazing given they serve around 300 people a night. And the drinks were all spectacular!

    Handshake Speakeasy doesn’t disappoint. It’s a beautiful bar with well-crafted cocktails. The service is exceptional. We were only allocated 90 minutes but that was enough time for us to enjoy 3 rounds of drinks.

    Great experience with great drinks but the volume of the music limits the ambiance and human connection.
