The flagship of Guadalajara's most popular craft beer bar chain on Avenida Chapultepec, serving a huge range of house-brewed and guest craft beers alongside creative botanas and burgers. The lively open-air terrace is the center of gravity of Guadalajara's nightlife strip.
Cervecería Chapultepec is the flagship location of Guadalajara's most popular craft beer bar chain, sitting on Avenida Chapultepec at the center of the city's liveliest nightlife strip. The bar pours a huge rotating range of house-brewed and guest craft beers, complemented by a menu of creative botanas and burgers designed for sharing over drinks, with alitas de pollo con salsa habanero and botana de queso fundido among the most popular orders. The open-air terrace is the heart of the venue, spilling onto the sidewalk and drawing large crowds especially on weekend nights, when the strip along Chapultepec fills with bar-hoppers moving between venues; there is no dress code and noise levels rise significantly after dark. As a craft beer bar rather than a restaurant, there is no wine list, with the craft beer sampler serving as the best way to explore the rotating tap selection. Cervecería Chapultepec gets extremely busy from Thursday through Saturday nights, so arriving early in the evening secures better seating on the open-air terrace.
