Mezcal - Mexico’s original spirit

Mecaleria - a bar that sells artisan mezcal

- the very nice people making it all happen

Mezcaleria Quiquiriqui is the first genuine mezcal bar to open in London, selling some of the finest hand crafted mezcals currently coming out of Mexico.

Mezcalerias (Mezcal bars) have been a secret of Mexico city until recently when people have really started to get turned on the the fact this is more than just a drink... with bars popping up in New York, Berlin, Paris and now London!

The mezcals we have selected are from a new wave of young producers who have gone to great lengths to perfect a modern day drink using the traditional techniques that have defined mezcal production for centuries. It is crafted from a variety of agaves, using varied artisan methods......... Mezcal is one of Mexico’s oldest stimulant drinks

For those who have not yet come cross what we like to call proper mezcal, think more earthy, more minerally, more fiery, more primal, more visceral, more grrrrr than most things you will have drunk before. A single mezcal can have most, or all, or none of these characteristics, venturing out into its own universe where nothing at all tastes quite the way it does.

Expect the finest mezcal the UK has ever seen... fantastic mezcal cocktails... Mexican beers with lime and salt... better than good music... to get addicted and have some really fun times...

Hidden beneath a kebab shop, the Quiquiriqui basement combines concrete walls with homemade, recycled and reclaimed furniture; ornate mirrors and floral wallpaper located behind a DJ booth serving up old rock, modern cumbia and vintage electro; a house jukebox and a pink-topped bar stacked with over 20 varieties of the good stuff.
