About the Vibe
Tula Cantina is Amsterdam Noord's candlelit agave hideaway — a mezcalería that takes its Oaxacan spirits seriously without taking itself too seriously. You'll find locals lingering over mezcal cocktails well past midnight, and the staff actually knows what they're pouring. It's the kind of place you pop into for one drink and end up staying all evening.
Why it's worth it

Noord's Authentic Mexican Hangout
Tula Cantina has quickly become Noord's favorite new hangout, and for good reason. The space feels like a proper cantina — warm, intimate, and just the right amount of stylish without trying too hard. You'll find locals sipping on their mezcal cocktails long after the tourists have gone home, which says everything about the vibe. The Oaxacan-inspired menu is a standout, especially if you're into mezcal; the drinks are crafted with real care and knowledge, not just slapped together for Instagram.
It's the kind of place you can pop into anytime — grab a coffee in the morning, linger over lunch, or settle in for a few rounds of cocktails in the evening. The staff clearly knows their stuff, and the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between lively and relaxed. It's not fancy, but it's got soul, and that's what makes it special. If you're looking for a spot that feels authentically local without being pretentious, this is it.
The opening hours are limited — Thursday through Saturday from 5PM till late — so plan accordingly. Dinner bookings are handled through their sister spot, Coba Taqueria, which tells you something about the food pedigree here. Google reviewers echo the sentiment: one visitor mentioned popping in for a quick drink and ending up staying far longer than planned. That's the Tula effect.
