Aside from its status as Mexico's premier gay-friendly nightclub, Living is also one of DF's best places for lovers of electronic music.

Located in a castle-like building complete with a drawbridge on Reforma near Torre Mayor, Living has two main rooms, three lounges (including one nonsmoking, a rarity in Mexico), and three bars on two floors.

This place is absolutely huge, and unlike most Mexican clubs, is actually a place for dancing (i.e. no tables in the middle of the "dance floor"). The lounges are for people who are more interested in sitting down and having a drink.

The larger room plays electronic music, with a sound and light system to rival any world-class club. The 30-foot ceiling gives a great sense of openness, and the bar takes up the whole back of the room, so there's almost never a wait to get a drink. The DJs are excellent and always manage to keep the party going.

The second room has a few tables and couches near the bar and plays mostly Mexican pop. The two rooms are well-separated, so there's no clashing of music.

Upstairs are the well-decorated lounges, where the volume is significantly lower and you can actually have a chat without screaming in each other's ears.

Although Living falls into the gay nightclub category, open-minded heterosexuals won't feel too out of place. That being said, don't be too shocked to see some barely-clothed men dancing on platforms, transvestites walking around and couples making out on the dance floor.

If you like electronic music, aren't too interested in sitting around and getting piss drunk, and are fairly open-minded, Living is definitely a place to visit.

Cover charges vary, but usually it's 150-200 pesos.
