Hello from Mexico City! I have some additional color on the bizarre nightlife recs.

Cecconi's bar is at a mall. I'd never heard of it before. It's out of the way for most first-time visitors, who would not stay around this area.

Primer Nivel seems to now be called Señor Grill and is across the street from El Almacén. It's a grill and live music venue. I'd be hesitant to go there security-wise based on what it looks like from the outside. I definitely would not send any foreign tourists there! The recommendation has to be based on its one TripAdvisor review from 2014.

El Marra is the nickname of long-standing Marrakech Salon. It's also a gay bar!! It's a lot of fun, but it also often has naked male strippers. Would be good to know.

Guadalajara de Noche, as you say, is accurate, but is overshadowed by its larger, more storied, way more popular neighbor Salón Tenampa.

This was fun. Thanks for your article.
