Dix Bar

Dix Bar is a fully LGBTQ+ bar and club at Calle 53 No. 495, between Calles 56 and 58, near the Parque de Santa Lucía in Centro, Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. The venue is known for its drag shows, which begin at about 23:00-24:00, and for a danceable programme of pop and reggaeton. The atmosphere is festive, inclusive and welcoming; the crowd is predominantly LGBTQ+ locals and travellers, with allies also welcome, and the age range generally skews to adults in their twenties and thirties. Dress is casual to going-out wear, with no strict code. The music is pop and reggaeton, played to a lively dancefloor after the drag performances. The drinks programme is oriented to shared, value-priced servings: liters at MXN 100-150 and buckets at MXN 200-300 (about USD 6-17). Cover varies by night: there is no cover on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday; on Friday entry is free from 20:00 to 21:00 and then MXN 80; Saturday cover varies and should be confirmed. Opening hours are Wednesday to Sunday from 20:00 to 02:30, and the venue is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Friday and Saturday are the busiest nights, with the drag show as the centrepiece. Reservations are not normally required, though groups may ask about table space on weekends. Bottle service is not a defining feature; shared liters and buckets fill that role. The location near Parque de Santa Lucía puts Dix Bar within walking distance of other bars and restaurants in the historic centre, which suits a night that begins with dinner on the plaza. Visitors seeking a welcoming LGBTQ+ night out with drag performances and dancing in Mérida will find it a central option.
