The 5 stops
1. Shhh Roma
Roma Norte listening bar with a serious sound system. Reviewers describe cocktails, quiet listening and a separate, livelier bar room.
Tip: Closed Monday and Tuesday. Reviewers suggest the bar room for a livelier night, and say the space is cramped, so go in a small group.

Upstairs from 99 Records, a listening bar with a quiet listening room and a looser bar area outside. Reviewers praise the sound system, the design and the eclectic curated music.

Tiny Juárez vinyl bar, not pretentious, with a good cocktail list and a lot of energy. Reviewers like the music and the friendly staff.
Tip: Small and cozy. Reviewers call it a great pre-party stop.
C. Dinamarca 75, Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, 06600 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Hours not listed. Call ahead before you go.
5. Tokyo Music Bar
Low-lit Juárez cocktail bar built around an analog hi-fi setup: McIntosh amplifiers, a tube amp and audiophile turntables behind the bar. Reviewers say requests get played on vinyl.
Tip: Opens at 7 PM. Google rates it lower than the other listening bars here, so it suits the hi-fi setup more than a quiet listening session.
Río Pánuco 132, Cuauhtémoc, 06500 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Hours not listed. Call ahead before you go.
