This is a Speak Easy. An AMAZING place for live music. It's a 60's diner on the outside, but once inside it turns into this swanky live music place. Great drinks, great food. Definitely try this.
Make sure to book before.

This theatre is just in front of Hotel Condesa DF. They have a lovely roof top and do great cocktails. Perfect after a good play. This theatre is not so commercial, so they do good dramas.

Parque México is a must. This park is circular (or egg shaped) and in the center of it, on Avenida Michoacán there is an area where on weekends there are always activities like live music or dance or street market. Surrounding the park, also in a circular shape are Avenida Mexico and Avenida Amsterdam. You'll find lovely restaurants, cafes and shops on these 2 streets.
