Eddy Speakeasy

What Eddy Speakeasy is

Eddy Speakeasy is a cocktail bar on the top floor of an old casona in Roma Norte, Mexico City, with a view over Avenida Álvaro Obregón. It is a speakeasy in styling rather than in secrecy. The room is dressed as a sitting room from another century: red velvet couches, a small bar lined with leather chairs, chandeliers overhead, a vintage telephone sitting on a side table, and a white grand piano in the middle of the floor.

The piano is the hinge the evening turns on. It is not there for a pianist playing standards. From about nine in the evening a DJ takes it over and plays electronic music from it, which splits the night into two halves: a quiet, conversational bar early on and a louder room afterwards.

The bar trades under more than one name. It takes bookings as Eddy Speakeasy, its reservation listing carries the words piano bar, and posts about it tag both @eddy.piano.bar and @eddy.speakeasy. It is new and it has almost no press behind it, and it publishes nothing about who owns or runs it, so what follows is what the printed menu and the room itself show rather than a house history.

How a night works

There is no ceremony to get in and no password. You go up to the last floor, you sit on a couch or at the bar, and someone brings you the menu. The shape of the night is set by the DJ rather than by a kitchen.

• Before nine. The quieter version. Low light, conversation, the classics list, the view over Álvaro Obregón from the top floor.
• From nine. The DJ starts from the piano and the room turns into an electronic music bar. Same drinks, more volume, more people.
• The drinks. Two cocktail lists of ten each, classic and contemporary, all at 220 or 240 MXN. Behind them sits a proper back bar: gin, vodka, tequila, mezcal, whisky, rum, brandy and cognac, all sold by the 45 ml copa or by the bottle, plus amari and aperitifs by the copa and three Moët and Chandon champagnes by the bottle only.
• The food. Five plates, meant as something to share over drinks rather than dinner. Papas parmesano, a melon and prosciutto carpaccio, a bacon burger with fries, tacos de ribeye and a charcuterie board.
• Two printed house rules. The tip is voluntary and is not added to the bill, and the weights given against the food are the portion before cooking.

No wine list was on the table when I was there, so if wine by the glass matters to you, ask before you sit down rather than assume.

What I drank

I went in September 2026 and stayed on the classics, which is the right call here. They are well made, they are 220 to 240 pesos, and the list is the standard canon rather than a set of inventions that need explaining. The contemporary list is the same canon one generation later: Espresso Martini, Penicillin, Paper Plane, Naked and Famous, Pornstar Martini. The builds are printed next to each drink, so you can see exactly which gin, whisky or mezcal is going into the glass before you order.

What it costs

These are the prices on the printed menu in September 2026, in Mexican pesos. They move.

Item	Price
Classic cocktails	220 to 240 MXN, about 12 to 13 USD
Contemporary cocktails	220 to 240 MXN
Papas parmesano	210 MXN
Carpaccio of melon with prosciutto	280 MXN
Burger with fries, or tacos de ribeye	310 to 325 MXN
Charcuterie plate	450 MXN
Spirits, 45 ml copa	200 to 1,370 MXN
Spirits, by the bottle	2,250 to 16,100 MXN
Champagne, bottle only	3,900 to 5,800 MXN
Beer, 355 ml	120 MXN
Water, soft drinks, Red Bull	75 to 130 MXN

Two cocktails and one plate to share puts two people at roughly 650 to 900 MXN before the tip, which is about 35 to 48 USD. That is a normal Roma Norte cocktail bar price rather than a cheap one, and the fixed 220 and 240 pricing makes the bill easy to predict. Going by the bottle is a different order of spending: the cheapest bottles start at 2,250 MXN and the list climbs past 16,000 at the top.

Do you need a reservation

Book if you are coming at the weekend, coming after nine, or coming as a group. The top floor is not a big room and the DJ hours are when it fills.

• OpenTable: the listing is under Eddy Speakeasy, Ciudad de México.
• Instagram: @eddy.piano.bar, which is also where the bar posts what is on.
• Groups: ask first. Couches and a bar counter do not rearrange into a long table easily.
• Walk-ins: reasonable early in the evening, less so late on a Friday or Saturday.

The bar does not publish its opening hours on the printed menu, and I could not find a set of hours it states itself, so confirm the night you want before you make the trip.

Getting there

• Area: Roma Norte, Mexico City, on the stretch of Avenida Álvaro Obregón that the bar looks out over.
• The building: an old casona, with the bar on the last floor. Expect stairs.
• Metrobús: Line 1 along Insurgentes, at the Álvaro Obregón stop, puts you on the avenue itself.
• Metro: Insurgentes on Line 1 and Cuauhtémoc on Line 1 are both walkable from this part of Roma Norte.
• Driving: street parking in Roma Norte at night is difficult. Valet is common along Álvaro Obregón, and a ride app is usually easier.
• On foot: this is one of the most walkable drinking streets in the city, so it pairs easily with dinner nearby.

I could not find a street number published by the bar itself, so take the exact address from your booking confirmation or from the Instagram profile rather than from a map pin.

Before you go

• Come before nine for conversation, after nine for the music. It is genuinely two different bars, and the piano is the switch.
• Order from the classics. They are made properly, and the contemporary list is priced the same, so choose by what you feel like rather than by cost.
• Do not plan dinner here. Five plates, all of them snacks or one burger. Eat first, drink after.
• The tip is not on the bill. The menu says so in print. Look at the total and leave what you think is right.
• Dress for a date, not for a club. Velvet couches, chandeliers and leather chairs set the tone, and people dress up to a point without it being formal.
• Ask about wine before you sit. There was no wine page on the table when I was there.
• Stairs, not a lift. It is the last floor of an old house, which is worth knowing if stairs are a problem for anyone in your group.
• Check the hours before you go. The hours on this page come from the venue’s public listings, which drift, so confirm on Google Maps or the venue’s own channels before a special trip.
