The Big Corner

The Big Corner is a rock bar in Venustiano Carranza with live bands on Fridays — Perú 66 is a regular fixture — and a food-and-drink setup built around sharing plates and micheladas. The kitchen turns out wings, boneless bites, wedge fries, and pizza (the cheese gets consistent nods), and the bar runs micheladas by the liter, including Cubana, Clamato, tamarind, and mango varieties with your choice of rim.

It's a small space, so tables fill up quickly on live music nights. You'll need to order food to get alcohol — house rule — but prices are easy on the wallet. Service can lag when it's busy, so put in your full order up front.
