Handshake Speakeasy, opened in 2018 in Mexico City’s Colonia Juárez, is a sleek, Prohibition-style bar named North America’s Best Bar in 2024. Intimate and stylish, it seats around 30 guests in a black-and-gold space centered around a striking glass-and-brass table.

Led by head bartender Eric Van Beek, the team crafts a minimalist menu of 16 alcoholic and 5 non-alcoholic cocktails using advanced techniques. Each drink is a refined, multi-layered creation that can take up to 48 hours to prepare.
