La Negrita is the place to get an early start if you need a cold beer at noon with a little snack to get you through until lunch which normally starts around 2. It's also really fun in the afternoon when you wake up from your nap or just before going out to dinner. We'll now that I think about it La Negrita is a nice place from 12 noon when it opens until 10pm when it closes and then you can move on to La Fundacion Mezcaleria which opens at 8 and goes on until 2am. The owners have kept the prices low to attract the local hipsters so have a beer or mescal or order something top shelf otherwise you'll think you're drinking kool aid and moonshine. You might also stumble into the Mayan Pub if you like live music and a beer garden. If you don't like Mexican beer you should go home or go to the Bierhaus which specializes in German beer and some very mediocre German food.
There is a new place in town that's a little more adult and the cocktails are vastly more sophisticated and consequently expensive. It's a speakeasy in the parking lot behind Apoala called Malahut. The owners are from Monterrey and Oaxaca so I'm calling them foreigners too, as the Yucatecans do.
The most popular pub for expats must be Hennesey's Irish Pub on the Paseo Montejo which is very Irish and very popular.
