Onix Restaurant Bar is one of the few Morelia venues that keeps going past two in the morning, working as a restaurant early in the evening and shifting into a DJ-led bar later on, on Avenida Madero in the city's Centro Histórico, Michoacán. The crowd starts out mixed-age during dinner service and skews younger as the night progresses, with dress running smart-casual rather than formal. Music is DJ-driven, with occasional live sets layered into the regular programme rather than a fixed genre residency. The drinks programme is cocktail-led, priced in line with the more polished centro bars, with a restaurant kitchen running earlier in the evening before the bar element takes over. Hours run Wednesday through Saturday, with the kitchen opening early evening and the bar continuing to around 3AM on weekend nights. Regular nights carry no cover charge, while ticketed nights run roughly MXN 100-200 (USD 6-12) at the door; reservations are worth making for dinner service, though the later DJ hours operate on a walk-in basis. Its central location on the main avenue makes it a common default last stop for a night that started among the historic centre's mezcalerías, since it stays open well after most bars in Morelia have closed.
