BGay BProud Café México
A good place to start your explorations, this casual café functions as a sort of nerve center for DF gay life, particularly amongst the younger crowd.

La Perla
Once a red-light venue, this cabaret has been reborn in the age of irony as a cradle of kitsch, with hilarious drag shows featuring traditional Mexican songstresses. Tickets go fast.

Tom’s Leather Bar
For those who dare to get medieval, Tom’s provides the props, with heraldic shields, crossed swords and candelabras highlighting a decidedly decadent decor. When the fat lady sings, the show’s about to begin.

Wawis
Up above a seedy street scene, this mixed gay disco provides plenty of elbow room to get your salsa, cumbia and reggaeton grooves on, and the midnight show is always entertaining. Wawis is good-humoredly named after a Mexican slang term meaning fellatio.

Marrakech Salón
Crowded and steamy, you bet, but regulars wouldn’t have it any other way. Typical sights and sounds here include bare-chested bartenders, bar-top dancing and music ranging from 1980s pop to hip-shaking cumbias. A sign at the exit reads: ‘Thank you for your sexual preference.’

Lipstick
At this large (capacity 950) club for an upscale 18-to-35 set, the fun goes on in three different settings: a subdued lower lounge for chilling out with friends; a video bar with adjacent dark room for close encounters; and an excellent upper terrace for all-out revelry. Thursday is girls’ night.

Buttergold
Buttergold (aka Butterflies, aka El Butter), across the street from metro Salto del Agua, is an airplane-hangar-sized space that still manages to get densely packed. The funhouse features five bars, a snack bar and a big stage for elaborately choreographed drag shows. It’s fun for straights, too, as long as you don’t mind crowds, thick smoke and loud, loud music.
