    Every cocktail at this Guatemala City bar doubles as a history lesson, with each drink named for a chapter of Guatemalan history and the story printed right there on the menu. It's a cerebral cocktail bar where the research shows in the glass, whether that's calvados meeting green apple or white rum edged with chilli and Jamaica rose. The crowd tends to arrive knowing exactly what they want to order, and why.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Anarchist

      “The Anarchist blends calvados, elderberry liqueur, maraschino and green apple with sparkling water and is a tribute to Frenchman Hipólito Lambert, who was hired by 19th-century president Estrada Cabrera to thwart a rebellion.”

    • Island

      “The Island meanwhile, is a mix of white rum, parfait amor, chilli, Jamaica rose, New Orleans Bitters, egg white and mandarin, and was created in memory of those excluded from a wealthy area of the Guatemalan General Cemetery in 1881.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
