The Ultimate Rooftop Experience with Music, Taptails & Mexican Flair
Music is an essential part of the CIMA experience. Carefully curated DJ sets keep the evening flowing perfectly from sunset to the final beats of the night. The terrace, tucked away between the rooftops of nearby homes, offers an intimate setting that makes the city feel like it’s all yours. CIMA is the perfect edgy after-dinner move — a place to end the evening with friends, cocktails, great music, and a breathtaking view.
Focus on Sustainability & Innovation | Taptails
What makes this rooftop stand out is its focus on sustainability and innovation. Alongside its delicious taptails, handcrafted cocktails served fresh from the tap without compromising quality, the cocktail menu, developed by renowned Belgian mixologist Paul Morel, adds a bold Mexican twist.
CIMA isn’t just a rooftop terrace; it’s a Mexican-inspired space infused with fresh energy that spreads across the city. Tequila, mezcal, tacos, simple, direct, and full of character. It’s not designed to follow trends; it’s designed to break them. Guests won’t just taste mezcal or tacos, they’ll feel the attitude behind them.
In addition to daring cocktails, there’s an open kitchen with a chef’s table. It’s authentic, playful, and a new stage for discovery. This rooftop is all about moments that are real, different, and unforgettable.
Shareable Bites by chef Jenniffer Calderon
The perfect balance of taste, atmosphere, and togetherness, CIMA is not your traditional bar, but a rooftop destination designed to make the evening an experience. The Mexican-inspired menu of shareable bites, created by Mexican head chef Jenniffer Calderon, pairs perfectly with the cocktail offering. From fresh ceviches to amazing tacos, the menu is made for sharing — the ideal addition to an evening that easily stretches for hours.
“CIMA is going to be the place to be. I see people stopping by for a pre-dinner cocktail, friends coming together for the atmosphere, the music, the cocktails, or the Chef’s Table menu with all the mezcals on the list… It’s where you’ll want to celebrate your birthday, your company dinner — where you come in winter for the warm vibes and in summer for the sunset. CIMA is all in one!” Says Joan Rull, Director of Beverage & Food.
CIMA Rooftop Bar & Terrace officially opened on Wednesday, November 5, and is open from Wednesday to Sunday, 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM.
