Perspective: Dive bars can show you a city in its truest form
in February 2019. When it was time to explore, I had already made a long list of potential establishments.While there were many trendy options to pick from, one bar immediately stood out. La Nuclear is tiny, narrow and dark — and proud of all three. Once through its saloon doors, you’re confronted by the bar and a pack of people queuing for drinks. Most are there for the same thing, too.Pulque is a traditional central Mexican beverage, made from the sap of the maguey plant.
As I sat and drank my pulque — which looks like milk, but tastes more like kombucha — I realized thatwas the perfect place to not just people watch, but to get a sense of the true Mexico City.Being in such close confines with a mixture of locals and tourists, I felt at home — not just in the bar, but in Mexico City.But other times, you just want to fly by the seat of your pants.
I was ecstatically lost among its labyrinth of streets during a visit in July 2017. In need of rejuvenation, I popped into a half-packed local bar, where the paint was falling off and the chairs and tables were all different sizes.Then, just a few sips into my beer, some patrons stood up, their brass instruments in hand. Instantly, the room was full of blaring live music. Everyone in the bar soaked it up with a reverence usually reserved for Mass.
