This is a really cool speakeasy that has pretty affordable drinks. The atmosphere is pretty chill and laidback, but they keep it a little club-y with the music and it’s volume. The cocktail waitress is super nice and helpful. The interior design is very nice as well! They have a pretty large selection of specialty cocktails and mezcals.
The entrance is within Onyx, and it’s through a door with an image on it that is next to the bathrooms. Can’t go wrong coming to Nórtico! Highly recommended while in Tijuana.
Cozy speakeasy with great drinks. It is dimly light which adds to the atmosphere. The service was great and the mixologist was very attentive. The drinks were a bit hit and miss though. We had two great drinks and two others that neither of us liked. It was still a great experience and cool mixology.
Nortico is proof that cocktails have no borders and that Golden era’s should be celebrated and recreated.
Cruise down the boulevard it’s between the twin towers and the golf course for reference. Once you get to Oryx Capital head past the bathroom and hang a left, look for the all black wall, that’s the hidden door. Text ahead for reservations or try your luck as a walk in for a barseat. It’s dark, it’s rustic, but sort of in a modern way, not just unfinished wood looking like most places. Sort of ribbed walls and leather couches along with more modern chairs each section is different, but thoughtful.
The service is great, I suggest actually sitting at the bar and chatting with the staff, they have an enthusiasm about them that is rare. The prices are inexpensive compared to the US, but every bit as good. It’s sort of this untapped world down here for craft cocktails, even enthusiasts stateside haven’t experienced drinks here.
As prolific as the American Speakeasy was during our Prohibition, Mexico had no such lockout and thrived during our suffering. This homage hidden within Oryx Capital pays tribute to that golden era, but unlike many so called speakeasy’s the ingredients and menu’s are fully modern. It’s easy to open a speakeasy type bar and only make a dozen classics, but people have collectively grown up and stepped up their cocktail knowledge, they expect better and here they get it. The crowds are diverse and they seem to come from both sides of the border. The ingredients and freshness available to them is really great, they aren’t handcuffed by laws or really anything.
I was a fan of the Del Huerto for that pepper top and color. Room with a Vieux for the Mandarin Napoleon which Cointreu better watch out for. Agua Caliente is both sweet, savory, smoky and spirit forward As of now also the only place I know to try Ancho Verde. Each time I come here I find it hard to leave.
This is a speakeasy bar, small and hidden behind another bar, they sirve so-so drinks, very exoensive, and also not such great service, otherwise it's a great experience and it is totally a speak easy with Edison bulbs and everything... would recommend you give it a visit to see for yourself...
