Otro Bar
2006700010929, Oaxaca
Bar in Oaxaca, Mexico
Why go
Book Otro Bar if the priority is a polished Oaxaca rooftop with mezcal cocktails, design credibility, enough food structure for a group night. It is stronger for four-plus guests or a date with atmosphere than for drinkers seeking a technical agave tasting or a published cocktail canon.
About Otro Bar
Otro Bar is a venue in Oaxaca with limited public details. The confirmed basics are simple: the expected price is about $30 per person, the dress code is smart casual. Beyond that, specific claims about the setting, menu, drinks, service style, chef, reservations, or awards should be treated as unconfirmed unless directly with the venue.
That makes Otro Bar easiest to evaluate as a flexible Oaxaca stop rather than as a destination built around a documented specialty. If you are planning around a fixed budget and want a venue where smart casual dress is appropriate, it can fit into a broader Oaxaca itinerary. For anything more specific, confirm details with the venue before making plans.
Plan around the basics, not unconfirmed specialties
The most useful confirmed planning detail is price: expect about $30 per person. That figure can help you compare Otro Bar with other options in Oaxaca, especially if you are mapping out more than one stop.
The dress code is smart casual. Specifics beyond that should be checked with the venue if the occasion matters.
Use the price point to decide where it fits in your plans
Avoid building the visit around any unconfirmed feature unless you have checked current details directly.
For groups, dates, or solo plans, the same rule applies: the confirmed information supports only a general recommendation to consider Otro Bar as an Oaxaca option at the stated price point. If seating, timing, noise level, or a specific experience is important, contact the venue before going.
Smart casual is the right baseline. If your plans involve a special occasion, a tight schedule, or a larger party, verify availability and any current policies directly with Otro Bar rather than relying on assumptions.
Use it as one Oaxaca option, with details confirmed before you go
The right expectation is a venue in Oaxaca with a verified $30-per-person price point and smart casual dress code. The wrong expectation is relying on claims about a specific drinks focus, food program, location details beyond Oaxaca, awards, or service format. Readers building a broader trip should pair this with our full Oaxaca bars guide, then branch into our full Oaxaca restaurants guide, our full Oaxaca hotels guide, our full Oaxaca experiences guide, our full Oaxaca wineries guide if the itinerary needs more than one category.

Bar context
How Otro Bar compares in Oaxaca
Choose Otro Bar when ease matters more than ceremony. Against La Mezcaloteca and In Situ Mezcalería, it reads as the simpler group option: less of a dedicated agave-study stop, more of a flexible Centro bar for meeting before or after dinner.
For cocktail-bar energy, compare it with Selva, Sabina Sabe, and Zandunga Cocktail. Those are stronger cross-shops if the group wants the bar itself to anchor the night. Otro Bar is the safer choice when booking difficulty, timing, mixed group preferences matter more than a highly defined drinks format.
If the plan is still loose, use Pearl's Oaxaca experiences guide and Oaxaca wineries guide to build around the drinking stop, rather than treating the bar as the full evening.
