Onix Restaurant Bar Boutique

Onix Restaurant Bar Boutique operates on the Madero arcades in Morelia's centro histórico as a late-opening terrace bar rather than a conventional restaurant, with live music most nights from 9PM onward. The menu is built around sharing plates and molcajetes, the volcanic-stone mortars used to serve a mix of grilled meats and salsas, alongside a tabla de botanas michoacanas for the table to pick at while drinking. The cocktail list is the real centre of the offering, built around mezcal and Michoacán charanda rather than standard tequila drinks, with a mezcalita as one of the better-known orders. The balcony seating faces the cathedral and is the most requested spot in the venue, especially once the evening's live music starts. Prices run 250-500 MXN per person, reasonable given the entertainment and central location. Onix runs long hours, from 1PM to 2AM daily, functioning as a lunch option earlier in the day before shifting into its main identity as a nightlife venue. Reservations are recommended specifically for balcony tables on weekends, when both the music and the cathedral view draw a full house.
