Nestled discreetly behind an unassuming tailor shop facade in Lima's vibrant Miraflores neighborhood, Sastrería Martínez offers a sophisticated clandestine charm, transporting discerning guests to America's Prohibition era. Ranked among The World's 50 Best Bars, this speakeasy is a testament to exquisite design, featuring moody recessed golden lighting, elegant herringbone flooring, vintage leather couches, and plush velvet armchairs that collectively evoke a sense of soft luxury. The ambiance, further enhanced by exposed brick and concrete walls, provides a distinctly intimate yet lively setting, often complemented by live jazz, soul, blues, and Latin American classics.
Under the masterful guidance of owner and acclaimed bartender Diego Macedo, Sastrería Martínez presents a meticulously crafted cocktail program that artfully blends classic recipes with a distinct Peruvian accent. The innovative menu draws inspiration from Peru's diverse biodiverse regions—Coast, Mountains, and Jungle—featuring signature creations infused with unique local distillates and indigenous ingredients like Andean agave, pistachio cream liqueur, and Matacuy. Each cocktail is a sensory journey, reflecting Peruvian identity and mixological artistry, with new collections like 'Collection 25/26' offering a comprehensive exploration of the country's flavors through eighteen expertly designed drinks and twenty-two complementing small plates.
Beyond the exceptional libations, Sastrería Martínez provides an immersive experience. Reservations are highly recommended to secure passage into this hidden gem, where impeccable service and a captivating setting combine to create a truly luxurious and memorable night out in Lima. For those seeking an even more exclusive affair, private areas, including a 'secret second bar,' are available for intimate gatherings or discreet celebrations.
