Roma Norte's living room after midnight — a wine and cocktail bar that catches the neighborhood's late-night current and channels it into a space that is dark, intimate, and designed for the hours between dinner and dawn. The wine list leans toward natural and biodynamic producers from Mexico, Spain, and South America. The cocktails are well-made without the theatrical production of the competition bars. Felina exists for the specific pleasure of having one more drink in a room where the company is good and the music is right and no one is in a hurry to leave.

The natural wine selection is the quieter strength — Mexican natural wines from Baja California and the Valle de Guadalupe are worth exploring if you have not encountered them before. The cocktails are spirit-forward and restrained. A mezcal Negroni for the late hour. The cheese and charcuteria plates are better than expected for a late-night bar.
After 11pm on Thursday through Saturday, when the dinner crowd migrates here and the room reaches its ideal atmospheric density. This is not an early-evening destination — Felina's purpose is the second or third bar of the night, when you want something quieter than a club but more alive than a hotel lobby.
Located on Orizaba, one of Roma Norte's best streets. Opens late and stays open late — often past 2am on weekends. The space is small and does not take reservations. Cocktails are 180-280 MXN, wine by the glass 150-250 MXN. The crowd is Roma's creative class — designers, chefs off-shift, writers, the people who make the neighborhood's culture and drink here after they have finished making it. Card and cash accepted.
