Tiki Bar - City of Mexico The latest in appearing in the flourishing nocturnal scene of this great city is appropriately named "TikiBar". Property of the British immigrants, Crispin Somerville and Jaspar Eyears, who in addition operate it, is the first faithful reflection of globally the popular Tiki culture. First, a little history does about seven Crispin years already, previously VJ of MTV Europe and producer and presenter of the BBC, arrived more at Mexican earth making the stop to a destiny to the south. It ended up opening the Eyetooth, one of the first premises of electronic music in our country, which has reached legendary fame in Mexico and to the date it opens his doors every week. With the aid of Jaspar standard of Absolut Vodka became the bar in Latin America. Meanwhile, Jaspar dreamed up the respect of its tutors and the adoration of a good part of the throats and London livers like Chief Mixologist' in places like Metropolitan Bar, Fabric, Coffee of Paris and Che among others. To beginnings of 2004 Crispin and Jaspar they united efforts to operate the bar in Premium that quickly has acquired estatus like one of the main bars of cocteles in Latin America. We arrived thus at the month of May from 2005 and at the culmination from so longed for dream for both Crispin and Jaspar. Both they have enjoyed constantly the culture tiki bar throughout its lives. Crispin even conserves pícaro memory of its first Suffering Bastard' in Trader Vic's festejando its thirteen years, while Jaspar made Orgeat (almond syrup) homemade looking for to prepare the perfect Mai Tai for its friends of the school. Tiki Bar is, in simple terms, a really spectacular Bar, the place to enjoy perfect drinks and to talk of to taste listening a more excellent musical selection. The drinks are respectful of the Tiki culture, all elaborated with fresh fruit, cordials and siropes, and presented/displayed in outlandish glasses. Classic like Menehune, Mai Tai, Navy Grog and - of slightly sinister name - Killer Zombie they are reproduced faithfully according to original prescriptions of Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic's. Nevertheless, the boys also have including new ideas like the Dr Alderete, the Lugosi and the Malibú lu, which, to the purest style Willy Wonka, is coctel that augurs a flavor explosion. The intimate premises, designed by the vanguardista pair of young architects Julio Amezcua and Francisco Brown and signed with its seal ` at103', with capacity for not more than 115 guests, conjugate floors of wood, Polynesian walls of bamboo, tótems, original works of the genius of the Tiki art Jorge Alderete and a highly functional bar. Designed so that a single Bartender, extremely trained, produces impeccable drinks with amazing rapidity. The musical selection jealously has been collected by Jaspar and Crispin throughout the years and the program that is listened to is the reflection of an eclectic collection with own style, integrating rates arisen from almost all the tracks of dance that one can imagine, from the tejanos campings of 30's, happening through agreed ska of Jamaica of 50's to the Soul Neon of the Great Britain in 80's. Initially, these two enthusiastic visionaries were pasmados reason why he implied to take a sort so defined as it is the Tiki, and to turn it something his originally. "the fact that the Tiki scene constantly has been emulated from the aim of World War II is something that restricts much desire to do it of original form", Jaspar comments, "... until we occurred account of the upset thing that is our imagination "adds Crispin. The City of Mexico is the suitable place to experience the most exciting and surrealistas nights. It is a swarm of creativity, originality and diversion. Tiki Bar is the longed for refuge for which they want to escape of the chaos and to rejoice yet what it conforms an excellent bar.
