San Miguel de Allende, a historic treasure in Mexico’s heartland, is a symphony of culture and creativity. Among the rhythm of cobblestone streets and the harmony of baroque architecture, a fresh note is being played—Bekeb.
Bekeb: Where Mixology Meets Heritage in San Miguel de Allende
On an exquisite rooftop in the city, Bekeb offers a mesmerizing mixology experience that swirls on the tongue and lingers in the memory. The name ‘Bekeb’, which translates to ‘seed’ in Tzotzil, echoes an open invitation to journey back to our roots. Commanding this voyage is Fabiola Padilla, a distinguished mixologist whose skills have been finely honed in the celebrated bars of Cosme and Diego in New York.
The Vibrant Canvas of Bekeb’s Sky-High Experience
Enveloped within the eclectic Casa Hoyos hotel, Bekeb is much more than just a bar—it’s an atmospheric spectacle. As you ascend to the rooftop, you are embraced by an ambiance that seamlessly weaves the vibrant bohemian charm of San Miguel with the chic elegance of modern design. Warm sunset hues, sleek concrete elements, a lush array of greenery, and a throbbing DJ bar collectively set the stage for an unforgettable sky-high rendezvous.
The Art of the Pour: Bekeb’s Innovative Cocktail Menu
The jewel in Bekeb’s crown is undoubtedly its innovative cocktail menu. Each drink is a testament to Padilla’s deft touch and deep appreciation of Mexican botany. The signature cocktails, each with their unique blend of traditional roots, plants, and flowers, offer a taste of Mexico’s rich natural heritage.
