Mayahuel

Description:

• The deceptive, dull and drab exterior of Mayahuel a  lounge cum restaurant gives way to a dark, fascinating, two-level interior of dark-hued wooden walls that are adorned with kitschy Mexican artifacts like ornate candles and pictures of the Virgin Mary. The restaurant, which has a bar on its lower level and a larger seating area on its upper level, is known not so much for its Mexican-inspired eats but its vast offerings of alcoholic beverages which include a wide array of spiced and aged tequilas and mezcals; you can also experience innovative and heady cocktails with names like "Watermelon Sugar" and "Raspberry Charade", which have a variety of fruit, tea and wine-infused tequilas and Mexican beers as their base.
