Pulquería Los Insurgentes is a convivial three-story bar in Roma specializing in pulque, an ancient fermented agave drink. Each floor has different vibes - live DJ sets, jazz, and rock bands rotating throughout. The rooftop terrace offers prime socializing space with great views. Pulque comes in two styles: natural and curado (flavored), with seasonal options alongside traditional flavors like oats, mango, strawberry, and celery. Despite being casual and walk-in friendly, the place hosts art workshops, film screenings, and cultural events.
Head straight to the rooftop terrace for the best vibe - it's where locals hang out and the views of Roma are great. Bring bug spray as mosquitoes can be active.
Each floor has different music - ground floor is cumbia/reggaeton, upstairs varies. Check what's happening before you visit if you have a preference.
Always ask for samples before ordering - the bartenders will give you small tastes of different pulques so you can find your favorite flavor.
Open until 2am most nights with live music and cultural events. It's a cultural hub, not just a bar - check their social media for what's on.
