Customer Reviews
I recently found myself at El Gallo Altanero in Guadalajara, and let me tell you, it was like meeting the Ryan Gosling of cocktail bars—smooth, effortless, and downright irresistible. Every drink I tried was so well balanced and crushable that I had to resist the urge to make inappropriate sounds. Seriously, if these cocktails had legs, they'd be running marathons with ease. The atmosphere? Laid back. The staff? Hospitality wizards. If you're in Guadalajara and don't stop by El Gallo Altanero, you're doing life wrong. Trust me on this—your taste buds will thank you.
Limited drink selection and slow service at this famed two-story bar. There was some confusion at check-in with the hostess, and we were told that since the main part of the bar was at capacity, we would wait in a “stand-up bar” before being allowed upstairs. Even for that, there was a wait. We spent about 15 minutes waiting before we were allowed in. Once seated, we were given a menu with very few drink options. It wasn’t clear if the menu was the same throughout the bar, but the cocktail and beer selection was limited. I ordered a Paloma, only to be told they had run out—quite surprising. I chose something else, but it wasn’t good and tasted like it had barely any alcohol. Flagging down a server took some time, though the drinks didn’t take long once ordered. The “stand-up bar” had very limited seating, but we managed to grab a table. However, in the hour or so we were there, we were never moved to the main part of the bar as initially promised. Eventually, we asked for the bill, which also took a while to arrive. Overall, the music was decent, but the drinks were disappointing and the overall vibe of the bar was just decent.
Skilled bartender with fully satisfying taste of Mexican cocktails. Their collection of tequila based cocktails are amazing.
I found out about this site at the invitation of a close friend, and it was a pleasant surprise. It is located in one of the most active nightlife areas of the city. It's a back store that in the front shelters a cafeteria that only gives service during the day. The best thing about the place is its atmosphere and the drinks prepared with different varieties of tequila. One thing that needs to be improved is the access as it becomes overcrowded and therefore uncomfortable. The terrace over the patio is simply phenomenal and the service is good.
