Vaqueros bar, Mexico City

About Vaqueros bar

Vaqueros is a cowboy-themed gay bar on Calle Florencia in Zona Rosa, wooden floors and Western touches included, where some regulars actually turn up in hats. The music is more eclectic than the theme suggests, swinging from Adele to Jenni Rivera at a volume that still lets you talk, with the occasional Western Night leaning into the concept. It's a plainer, lower-key room than the flashier circuit clubs nearby, and there's no cover. Midweek brings karaoke and shows including drag, while Friday and Saturday are the busiest. One quirk: the entrance barely announces itself, with no real sign, so it can read as a storefront from the street. The crowd is mostly local, which makes it a solid spot to drink where the neighborhood drinks rather than where the tour groups land.
