Should I go to Selva or Perezoso first?
Start at Selva to ease into the evening. This intimate Roma Norte listening room by Colectivo Carmelo is designed around the idea of slowing down—a philosophy reflected in their sloth emblem and the analog warmth of the vinyl spinning in the corner. Order a glass from their deep natural wine list to settle in, then transition over to Perezoso next door when you are ready for a shift in energy. It is a seamless one-two step for a night out on the same block.

What locals actually do
Chilangos treat Roma Norte's side streets as a choose-your-own-adventure, and having Selva and Perezoso wall-to-wall means you don't have to commit to just one vibe. The local move is to use Selva as the anchor for the night’s conversation. Get there early enough to snag a spot near the turntable, explore a couple of pours of Mexican or European low-intervention wine, and let the room dictate the pace. Once you’ve caught up, you can float next door to Perezoso. If you need a late dinner afterward, you are a short walk from the excellent shared plates at Taverna to ground the wine.
Grab a seat near the record player, ask the bartender to pour something skin-contact from their natural wine selection, and simply let the room slow your evening down before heading next door to Perezoso.
Practical notes

- 03Vinyl is a core part of the experience here; expect records spinning most nights to set a relaxed, analog tone.
