Bar Sanctum in Sayulita is a cool, sophisticated, and authentic wine, cocktail, and tapas bar offering the most extensive wine list in town. Created as the kind of place the owners genuinely love spending time in, Bar Sanctum blends old-school friendly service with creative mixology, exceptional wines, and a menu of globally inspired tapas—drawing from northern Spain, Japan, and Mexico.
Live music adds yet another layer: jazz, Moroccan rhythms, blues, and other soulful sounds that transport you instantly. Through a glass wall, you’ll find the Cuban cigar lounge—an intimate space perfect for a post-dinner drink and a premium cigar.
Tucked away on a quiet stretch of Avenida Revolución, just one block from the plaza, Bar Sanctum welcomes guests with ambient lighting and a cool, organic interior. Chef Juan Corpus showcases local seafood, premium meats, and unique vegetables in tapas that guests consistently describe as “next level.” Paired with a bottle from the curated wine list or the house cocktail, every visit becomes a small culinary adventure.
Bar Sanctum is also an exceptional venue for private events, including wedding welcome parties. The team offers tequila and mezcal tastings, wine pairings, and cigar workshops—and is one of the few places in Mexico to serve Cuban beer and select Cuban rums. Every experience can be tailored to your vision.
Bar Sanctum is the night you'll remember when you look back on your trip.

We took a seat in the cigar lounge and enjoyed some excellent Cuban Patragas cigars while enjoying John's company and sipping their house cocktail, the Old Cuban. They also have excellent tapas, so be sure to check that out as well.
When next in Sayulita, we will be sure to visit.
Considering the high level of quality and sophistication, we found the prices to be surprisingly reasonable and accessible. A big thank-you to John and Belén for your wonderful hospitality — we wish you continued success!
