Sinners welcome

Playa del Carmen

After dark,
we sin

PRAYER is a speakeasy in Playa del Carmen made for late nights, good music and people who know where to go.

Hidden inside Mezontle, just steps from 5th Avenue, PRAYER brings together premium cocktails, nightlife, DJs and an elevated party atmosphere in the heart of Playa del Carmen.

Step inside, tonight we sin.

A hand pushing open the fluted glass door, the brass catching the red light — 01 The door Fluted glass and brass. No plaque, no name: only the light from inside.

Silhouettes dancing, smeared by the long exposure under red light — 02 The room Green velvet, marble and brass. Twelve tables and not one more.

Hands on the turntable, the needle catching the red light — 03 The booth Vinyl and two decks. The music is not taken by request.

Two coupe glasses meeting in a toast under red light — 04 The bar Nine meters of oak and eleven signature drinks.

The floor packed, smeared by the red light

Hidden inside Mezontle, steps from 5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen.

Good music & Bad decisions worth confessing.

Reviews

What people say
on the way out

From the ones who found the door and came back the following week.

★★★★★

It took us twenty minutes to find the entrance and it was worth every one. The place sounds the way a place like this should: loud, but you can still talk.

★★★★★

I ordered without looking at the menu, which is how they tell you to order. It came out better than anything I would have picked. I am back on Thursday.

★★★★☆

Twelve tables is few and you feel it: you have to reserve. But that is exactly why you never end up standing with your glass in your hand.
