More infoSome bars want you seen; Cenote would prefer you slip downstairs off Yates Street and disappear into it. The basement runs to aged brick, soft yellow lamplight, and tucked corners lined with old books and artwork, niches that make a date feel like a secret. The cocktails rank consistently among the best in the city. It opens at 5pm nightly and runs late on weekends. Grab the armchair corner.
Slip down off Yates into the brick basement and beeline for the armchair corner if it's free, those book-lined niches are the whole mood. The cocktails are among the best in the city, so order one slow, then grab something off the kitchen menu since it sends out more than bar snacks. It opens at 5pm nightly and runs late on weekends, so it works as an unhurried first stop or the place you never leave; plan for an hour and three quarters.
