Marisqueria Victoria

The name sounds like a seafood restaurant but it is actually a fantastic dive bar! My standard to call something a «dive bar» is pretty high and this place does not disappoint! 1) It is in an alley. 2) It is just a couple of tables and a two-​sided bar separating the «inside» from the alley. 3) You know you are in a dive when there is a sink beside your table for no apparent reason and a tiny spiral staircase directly next to it that you are not supposed to climb. 4) There are storage units/​garages that face the bar. One of them has a live duck inside. Someone came out and the duck waddled around the alley for a bit. When the lady left, she scooted the duck (who had water and food bowls) back inside, turned off the light and left. I couldn’t help but be amused that in the middle of this huge city, there is a duck in that garage. 5) IT HAS AN OUTHOUSE! Same for men/​women. At the end of the alley there’s a tarp hanging. Behind the tarp is a construction area of sorts but an empty dirt square for sure. At the other side of the square is what looks like a restroom with no door. Inside are toilet stalls that I’m pretty sure aren’t hooked up to any water. Same with sinks. There are basins but no faucet, no water. If you are up for cheap beer and some drunks to chat with (language is not an issue after a few of their huge micheladas), then this is a place worth finding!
