And now, a bit of folklore to accompany your drink. Locals will impart stories about how the owner of this once-meatpacking shop walled the place up after hearing cows mooing. The space was only accidentally rediscovered after workers knocked down a wall a few decades later.

It sounds a bit morbid, but Z Carniceria takes advantage of its bloody history by stringing hooks and shaking out meat-themed drinks like the Mad Butcher to an amused clientele. It’s now a ‘50s rockabilly bar cast under serious red lights. The carnivorous carnival is all tongue-in-cheek though: the biggest surprise here is the menu’s very tasty vegetarian fare.
