Gilded Centro Histórico cantina on Avenida 5 de Mayo, open since 1876, with carved wooden booths and daily afternoon-to-evening hours.
Cantina La Ópera has stood on Avenida 5 de Mayo since 1876, in a gilded room with carved wooden booths. It is the classic Centro cantina for tequila, mezcal and beer, and a 2026 nightlife guide rates it strong on history and atmosphere but weaker on value.
Hours are Monday to Saturday, 13:00 to 00:00 and Sunday 13:00 to 18:00, so it suits an afternoon or an early evening rather than a late night. Take some cash. Not for you if you want cheap drinks or a fast bar: you come for the room.
Walk-in cantina; go in the afternoon or early evening.
