Cantinas in Mérida

Check the updated editorial about Cantinas in Mérida.

La Negrita Cantina & Comedor

This is the place where our fathers and grandfathers came for a beer. With almost 100 years of history, La Negrita Cantina is one of the most traditional places in town. Today you can listen to “son cubano” or “bachata” music, while enjoying an ice cold beer. The cantina was remodeled a few years ago, and now there is a nice open-air space, the traditional bar, and an indoor area. Snacks (“botanas”) range from cucumbers with habanero chile to a delicious “Sikil Pak”, but don’t worry: they also offer a great food menu. Try one of the house creations!

Every day from 12 pm – 10 pm

El Cardenal, Salón Cerveza y Cantina

Located in the “barrio” of Santiago, El Cardenal, Salón Cerveza y Cantina is one of the oldest cantinas in Mérida at almost 101 years old. The place has kept traditions and customs alive, like having a cold beer with good friends, listening to great live music, and nibbling on delicious “botanas”, like the signature “Huevos Cardenal” (eggs). You can also try some local craft beers. The cantina has become a cultural center where you can find book presentations, exhibitions, and emerging bands as well as established ones. Get out your dancing shoes!

Every day from 12 pm – 10 pm

El Pipiripau, Salón de Fiesta & Cerveza

You’ll feel the relaxing mood the moment you come in, and in the back area you can hear some great “cumbia” and “salsa” music. It’s a “must” to have a cold beer along with the great music! Besides their traditional food and beverage menus, they have an amazing menu of signature cocktails. Try their famous cocktail named “sufrida” (suffered)! Enjoy it!

Every day from 1 pm – 2:30 am

La Perdida Cantina Antigua

An excellent option in the north part of the city. With the characteristic mysticism of the original cantinas, a little door in the back of City Center shows you that you have arrived. From 1 pm you can spoil yourself with food as Grandma used to make it. This menu changes weekly; but you can also find some great “botanas” like refried black beans, garlic cream, “Sikil Pak,” and more. And of course you can enjoy your “botanas” with a really cold “caguama” (1 lt. beer). Cheers!
