Zincos jazz club is an effortlessly cool nightspot in the heart of the Centro Historico located deep in the vaults of a former bank. Blacked out basement with low ceilings, red velvet curtains, and candle-lit cabaret style tables, it is the authentic jazz bar you are always so pleased to stumble upon - and there is always someone good playing whichever night you go...
Last night the band was "People Project", a jazz ensemble with Brazilian, Mexican, Canadian, and Venezuelan musicians, fresh from the Monteal Jazz Festival, presenting their new CD "Natural". They played a real mixture of Jazz Fusion, Blues, and Funk all tending towards a Brazilian sound.
Zincos is open from Wednesday to Saturday, and is located at Motolinia 20, esq Cinco de Mayo. Entrance is 200 pesos (16USD) and it is certainly a good idea to book a table in advance. The only touch of authenticity lacking is the smokey haze across the basement due to DF's no smoking policy - Hooray!! Check out their website for future programming at http://www.zincojazz.com/.

Great review and a place I will definitely pay a visit to if I'm ever in Mexico. Last weekend I was at The Place watching a dance show. That's one of my favourite spots in London, The Place and Sadlers' Wells.
Greetings from London.
This is a great review, Catherine! Love your shots! Wouldn't mind enjoying a little jazz there myself!
Have a great week!

Sounds like a real good time ! Thanks for the review...
Nice review.
Looks like a fun place to go and listen to good music.
Hi Catherine, this is such a lovely post on the club, great pics shared too. I am slightly tempted to listen to the music myself. :)
Great place to relax.
Paris is also a great jazz club city, but I don't go that often! Your post reminds me that I should!!
Deep in the vaults of a former bank - now that 'magically' reminds me of Gringotts, only it's fiction and yours is real. It will be wonderful to listen to jazz in such a place.
That looks like a great place to go hang out and listen to some jazz.
I love no smoking policies! Power to the sinuses. (sinusi?)
Thanks for visiting.
Thanks for that inside so far from the stereotypical take on Mexican music.
Great review of a fun place. Very nicely said.
Sounds like a nice place to spend a leisurely evening - although reading your blog has suddenly given me an overwhelming craving for Mexican food!
I tried to find this on Spotify and there was one link to zink jazz :)
Glad you all like the look of this place - if you go into the website you can actually listen to all the upcoming bands´music - much apreciated
