Second Visit
One of the most recent wine bars in the city, dedicated to art and wine (and some mezcal if you are lucky). This modern bar, developed by the former architect owner, has a small place inside for artists and their expositions which change every month; take a look at their social media to see the current one.
Here, you will only find natural wine from all over the world. The list changes continuously, which makes it a fun place to go to create your own wine flight.

First impression?
From
Gaetan Rousset and Joaquín Cardoso, this new spot is in the bottom
space of the building that houses the cocktail lounge Artemisia. It's
long and low like a wine cellar.
Cool. So who’s there?
Wine
geeks, off-duty chefs, hip thirty-somethings, a few foodie tourists.
Tuesday nights get packed when the owners invite wine makers to the
space for tastings and talks.
How are the drinks?
Loup
Bar focuses on the new wave of wines that are biodynamic, natural, and
minimally processed. Some are a bit eyebrow-raising at times, but
tasting them is always fun.
Worth ordering something to eat, too?
Cardoso
is a young talent, having worked in starred kitchens in Europe and as
the chef at Mexico City's Hotel Carlota. The braised meat dishes are
made with rich purees and are fine matches for whatever you'd like to
drink. There are a couple of smaller salads and vegetable dishes to
start.
Did the staff do you right?
Attentive and warm, especially if Cardoso or Rousset are in the house.
Wrap it up: what are we coming here for?
When you want a nice meal with great wine. A great date spot that's intimate and low decibel.
