Part of the Gay Mexico City Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Mexico City, State of Mexico
Historic men's basement bar with nightly drag tributes in Zona Rosa.
El Taller is a men's basement bar on Calle Florencia in Zona Rosa, sharing its building with El Almacén. It opened in 1986 under writer and 1968 student-movement leader Luis González de Alba, who held one of the first official gay-bar licenses in Mexico City, closed in 2013, and was brought back by the Cabaré-Tito group founded by theater director Tito Vasconcelos. For a scene where most venues turn over fast, that lineage is most of the appeal. The programming runs nightly: travestí and drag built around Latin pop-diva tributes (Gloria Trevi, Lupita D'Alessio, Madonna) with a rotating cast, plus go-go nights. The room stays true to type, a dim, men-leaning basement that gets cruisier as the night goes on. It's the historically minded counterpart to the flashier clubs a few doors away, and a logical first or last stop on a Zona Rosa crawl.
