Oldest Mexico cantina, a charming dive, closes down – El Nivel in Mexico City

Tagged: , , ,

“Mexico’s oldest cantina, a classic drinking dive patronized by dozens of past presidents and Cuban leader Fidel Castro when he was in exile here, has closed its doors after more than 150 years.

Nestled in a side street between the National Palace and Mexico City’s cathedral, the door of El Nivel (The Level) is now padlocked.

El Nivel’s owner, Ruben Aguirre, is looking for new premises after losing a long legal battle against the owners of the building, the National Autonomous University of Mexico.”*
