Wedged into the party corridor just inside the Clock Tower entrance, between Barra 7 and Alquímico, El Pasquín de Joaco is one of those places that finds you as much as you find it. Named after Joaquín De Zubiría, a Spanish military man with a revolutionary heart who posted a war manifesto at this very location in 1810, the building carries more history than most people stopping in for a drink realize. Two floors, two different energies: the ground floor is cocktails and DJs with a more intimate feel, the second floor is a full crossover party with guest artists, light shows, and enough energy to keep you there longer than planned.
The Sunday brunch that turns into a party by early afternoon has become a local favorite. Word from people who actually live in the city is that it's one of the better Sunday sessions going. This is a party spot. That's the whole point.
