▌Mexico City’s thrumming energy does not diminish when the sun goes down—it’s time to party! With some 22 million inhabitants (considering the metropolitan area), you are sure to find something for everyone when heading out for a night on the town—grab a drink, hit the dance floor, or try something new.

▌There are a plethora of bars and clubs of all kinds. Cocktail culture is particularly thriving in the city. Some of the hottest neighborhoods to try are Roma, Condesa, Polanco, the Historic Center, Zona Rosa, and Juárez.
Try the expert mixologists at Licorería Limantour, Fifty Mills at the Four Seasons Hotel, Hanky Panky Cocktail Bar, Xaman Bar, or Gin Gin.
▌Want to go dancing? Head to Leonor, La Santa Masaryk or Patrick Miller (Miller Mix). Mama Rumba is the place to be if you want to dance salsa. Go early if you want to get some practice. Just ask around, and you are sure to discover just what you’re looking for.
▟ The city is also famous for its performing arts. Top theaters include Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris, named for Mexico’s “queen of the opera;” Teatro Metropólitan and Teatro de los Insurgentes are landmarks; Polyforum Siqueiros also has astounding murals; and Teatro Telcel is a newer addition.
And of course, there are innumerable smaller venues—someone’s always putting on a show.

▌If you’re looking for something unique for your visit to the city, no problem! The Auditorio Nacional is one of the biggest concert venues in the world and hosts world-class acts.
▌Bellas Artes museum often has nighttime events such as plays, ballets, galas, and more. Once a month, many of the city’s phenomenal museums participate in Museums at Night, many with special programs or events.
▌For something more lowbrow, enjoy the drama of Lucha Libre, Mexico’s theatrical version of wrestling. Wander Plaza Garibaldi to check out the traditional mariachi musicians, then duck into the Museo de Tequila y el Mezcal to sample the country’s traditional spirits.
▌A more low-key option is to go to a nocturnal picnic at the botanical garden in Chapultepec park. Bring your own food or pick up a basket when you get there. Or wing it and find your own adventure.
Get out, raise a glass, catch a show, and find your new favorite spot. With so many options, the hard part will be choosing what to do first!
