Brujas

Brujas is a feminist-inspired cocktail sanctuary nestled in Mexico City’s Roma Norte neighborhood, where mysticism, empowerment, and mixology unite. This bar weaves together ancestral symbolism, artisanal spirits, and a unique ambiance that honors Latin American witches and spiritual traditions. With a menu rich in narrative and emotion, Brujas offers guests an experience that’s both deeply cultural and irresistibly modern.

History & Concept

Founded by a collective of women in 2021, Brujas was conceived as a space of inclusion, creativity, and resistance. The bar’s name—Spanish for “witches”—pays homage to the spiritual and healing roles of women in Latin American cultures. Rather than a gimmick, witchcraft here is a metaphor for transformation and intuition, reflected in the bar’s storytelling-focused cocktails and community-centered ethos. Brujas stands as both a cultural statement and a celebration of Mexico’s mystical roots.

Design & Atmosphere

Walking into Brujas feels like entering a sacred temple dressed for a party. The space is intimate and dimly lit, featuring handcrafted details, ritualistic symbols, and altars that glow with candles and neon. Deep colors—plum, emerald, obsidian—wrap the walls, while vintage furniture and artisanal ceramics set the tone. It’s a place that feels at once sacred and subversive, where the decor whispers folklore and revolution. The atmosphere is magnetic, welcoming both quiet reflection and joyful celebration.

Brujas Menu

The Brujas menu is a beautifully crafted journey through emotion, identity, and ancestral memory. Every cocktail tells a story, each dish serves as an offering, and the experience is intentionally curated to provoke introspection and delight. The team uses local ingredients, homemade infusions, and sustainable practices to ensure the integrity of each creation.

Cocktail Menu

Cocktails at Brujas are named after archetypes and rituals, designed to honor powerful feminine energies and mythical figures. Standouts include:

• La Emperatriz. A regal blend of mezcal, lavender syrup, lime, and butterfly pea flower, changing color like a spell in motion.
• Tierra Fértil. Earthy and grounding, with tequila reposado, hoja santa, cacao, and mole bitters.
• Venus Rx. A romantic and bittersweet cocktail with gin, rose, amaro, and hibiscus foam, evoking reflection and transformation.
• Ritual Lunar. A smoky-sweet creation with mezcal, ginger, honey, and black lemon, served under soft light with a moonstone on the rim.

Each drink is accompanied by a story that explains its symbolic meaning and emotional intention.

Food Menu

While drinks are the heart of Brujas, the food menu offers small plates that echo the bar’s artisanal and local philosophy:

• Tamal de Elote y Queso. A sweet corn tamal with creamy cheese and a hint of chili dust.
• Toasts with Seasonal Toppings. Such as avocado, pickled cactus, or roasted pumpkin and mole.
• Ancestral Corn Chips with Dips. Featuring sikil pak (Mayan pumpkin seed dip) and black bean hummus.
• Pan de Muerto (seasonal). A warm, aromatic pastry served with spiced drinking chocolate.

Price Level

Brujas keeps its pricing reflective of its artisanal quality, yet remains accessible to a broad audience. Cocktails range from MX$180 to MX$240, with food items averaging around MX$150. The value lies in the thoughtful curation, storytelling, and atmosphere—not just what’s on the plate or in the glass.
