Mecenas Menu — Signature Cocktails and Antojitos in Guadalajara
Av. de la Paz 2133, Col. Americana, 44150 Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico
Current menu: September 2026. Prices in Mexican pesos (MXN).
Mecenas started as a simple question: what would a bar look like without brands? No labels. Just flavor.
We make our liqueurs in-house with Mexican botanicals, a local sugarcane spirit and time; we develop our own spirits with local distilleries and producers across Mexico, and we produce our own fortified wines and vermouths in Valle de Guadalupe.
Mecenas is also a place to eat well: a menu of antojitos meant to be shared, picked up and enjoyed with your hands, alongside a drink.
