Where is the best natural wine bar in Roma Norte?
If you want a glass of natural wine in Roma Norte, my favorite room right now is Selva—an intimate, sloth-themed vinyl listening bar that successfully slows the neighborhood down. Operated by Colectivo Carmelo, this moody space pairs an incredibly deep natural wine list with records spinning most nights. It is the perfect spot for an unhurried evening where the focus is entirely on great pours and analog sound. Stop in before dinner for a glass, or settle in for the whole night.

What locals actually do
Chilangos use Selva as the atmospheric anchor of a night out in Roma Norte. The room is intentionally designed to shift your pace—the sloth emblem is a literal instruction to take your time. In-the-know regulars usually start their evening here with a skin-contact wine before moving on to a late dinner at nearby Meroma or Máximo Bistrot. Alternatively, they make it a Colectivo Carmelo double-header, hopping between Selva and its sister venue, Perezoso, right next door. Because it is a listening room, people come here to actually hear the records, making it ideal for dates or small groups who want conversation punctuated by excellent vinyl selections.
Grab a seat at the bar on a vinyl night, order a glass of something funky and skin-contact, and let the analog music set the tempo for your evening.
Practical notes
- 01Selva is a dedicated vinyl listening room, meaning the acoustics and music selection are central to the experience—expect a warm, analog soundtrack.
- 02The wine list leans heavily into natural, low-intervention bottles; ask the staff for their current favorites by the glass if you want to explore.
- 03Located right next door to its sister venue, Perezoso, making it incredibly easy to combine both Colectivo Carmelo spaces into one evening out.
Good to know
- ✗Seating is intimate and limited; arriving early or checking their reservation policy on social media is a smart move.
- ✗Like most specialized wine bars in Mexico City, expect to pay a premium for imported, low-intervention bottles.
- ✗Roma Norte is generally very walkable at night, but always use a ride-hailing app if you are heading home late.
