AREA Bar and Terrace, at the Habita

Frommer's Review

The rooftop bar of this boutique Polanco hotel is among Mexico City's enduring hotspots. Umbrellas top tables, but otherwise, you're under the stars -- and, likely, surrounded by a few -- among a trendy crowd sipping tequila cocktails and Cosmopolitans. Decor is minimalist, of course, with a few white couches. Barstools set along the railing look out over the city. If you can make it past the bouncer and down the circular stairway to the lower terrace and pool area, you've really arrived -- that's the glitzy VIP section, not unlike what you'd find in a rooftop L.A. bar. Music is mainly lounge. It's open Monday to Thursday from 7pm to midnight, and Friday to Saturday until 2am.
