BARCOA Agaveria

Admittedly not the easiest building to find or access (there’s specific directions on the website about how to get there), the cantina and basement bar is worth the search. A two-story altar to agave spirits, BARCOA Agaveria honors more than just tequila and mezcal. Find bottles of agave-like cousins bacanora, sotol, and raicilla available, too. Upstairs a casual bar with an open-air patio and connected to the next door art gallery is a comfortable spot to spend an afternoon sipping a Vampiro (tequila, sangrita, lime, and orange soda) or Carajillo (Licor 43 with espresso). Meanwhile, downstairs the basement bar sports cozy corner tables and a large bar where you can peruse the lengthy menu of rare and hard-to-find agave spirits. Try the Leche de Pistachio with mezcal and house-made pistachio milk or the Campo de Coles made with a red cabbage cordial and charanda, a Michoacan-style rum.
