The Global Drinker — World Bar Guide
El Gallo Altanero
Guadalajara, Mexico
A true temple to agave perched atop a small balcony in Guadalajara. Behind a backlit stained-glass agave window, bartenders pull upon encyclopaedic knowledge of tequila, with a focus on rare bottles from small, independent producers. Cocktails utilise classic techniques and hard-to-find agave ingredients.
