Best Playa Del Carmen Brewery and Wine Bars
There are so many restaurants and bars that offer cocktails and drinks, but if you’re looking for a place where they take their wine list and cerveza more seriously, then we’ve got your back. Recent times have seen the growth of specialist wine bars and craft beer bars in Playa del Carmen
Let us help you as we’ve taken the time to try out many and are happy to share our 6 favorite Playa Del Carmen brewery and wine bars.
Fuera de la vid
Calle 40 y Avenida 5
Off the Vine is wine store in Playa Del Carmen where you can also drink it too! Their original location is situated on lively Fifth Avenue. Their wine list is very accessible no matter your budget with bottles starting at 300 pesos ($15US). The service is friendly and relaxed while still being timely.
If you need a break from the heat, they offer tables indoors with air conditioning but also have tables outside to enjoy the fresh breeze and watch the streams of people strolling down Fifth Avenue. Another perk of sitting outside is the rotation of local performers that stop by to play a set. There are many talented musicians in the town and Off The Vine is a favorite spot from violinists and guitarists to play as you sip!
Acompaña tu botella de vino favorita con una de sus bandejas de quesos y embutidos dignas de Instagram para una velada perfecta, para una cita nocturna o con amigos.
¿Te alojas en la zona de Playacar y no te apetece ir al centro todas las noches? Off The Vine acaba de abrir un segundo local en la autopista, justo a las afueras. El local de Playacar ofrece una variedad de aperitivos y platos principales al igual que el local original.

Recientemente abrieron un segundo local de tamaño bolsillo en el barrio de la Colonia Hollywood, en el centro de PDC, ubicado en Calle 22 entre Avenida 25 y 30. Este encantador bar de vinos se especializa en vinos mexicanos y franceses.
If you call Playa Del Carmen home, we recommend joining their wine club which includes free wine tastings and discounts on bottles of wine on Fridays plus other perks. Service is superb with knowledgeable and attentive waitstaff making this wine bar a with expats and locals.

Colectivo Mexicano Cervecero
Avenida 5 entre Calle 40 y 42
Located across the street from Off the Vine on 5th Avenue, Colectivo Mexicano Cervecero is a convenient prequel to a wine night at Off the Vine. They offer 8 craft beers on draft that are all served ice cold, if you are a beer geek, we highly recommend CMC Brewery Playa Del Carmen.
The staff is happy to offer recommendations based on your beer preferences and after ordering 3 craft beers, we couldn’t pick a favorite!
If you’ve overserved yourself and need a snack or even a full meal, you can also grab a bite here too. Our recommendation is the burger, served with delicious shoestring cut French fries.
The great food and local brewery beer accompanied by live music on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays make this a favorite to go visit with a group of friends for a relaxed evening together.
Remember – the Playa del Carmen drinking age is 18, not 21 like it is in the US!
Chela De Playa
Avenida 38 entre Avenida 5 y La Playa
Interested in locally crafted beer? Chela De Playa is a Playa Del Carmen brewery to check out!
Nestled right on Fifth Avenue, the ambiance at this quaint cerveceria is unmatched. The outdoor seating area is located under a massive banyan tree that offers shade for guests who come before sunset. There is also a small cenote onsite with tables overlooking it.
Chela De Playa offers their beers in pints and in tasting portions so you can try a sample before committing. Their staff is well trained and offer fast service even on their busiest nights. Their beer offerings include a Kolsch which is our favorite as its light and the perfect complement to the hot Playa afternoons. They also make an American Pale Ale, White IPA with citrus notes, and for those who prefer a heavier beer a porter.
They also offer snacks if you need to slow your buzz down, tacos, and burgers. Want a nightcap that isn’t beer? They also have a fully staffed bar. This Playa Del Carmen craft beer bar has something for everyone in your group. They also have happy hour each day!
