This tiny bar among the antique stores of La Plazuela de Los Sapos has been serving liqueur shots for over century. Try sweet and strong la pasita (raisin), rompope (eggnog), almendra (almond) or the romantically named 'artist's blood' of quince and apricot. The eclectic kitsch decor and old-world experience is worth the trip alone. Cash only.
