Nuevo Mundo Bar Lima — Restaurant in Lima Metropolitan Area

I went for drinks with some friends last night. We were a group of 5 and sat at one of the high tables (which are quite uncomfortable) with stools. After a while 2 of my friends left and a smaller table with chairs was free behind us so we moved there. I was also wearing a skirt so it was a bit nicer for me to sit in a more comfy chair.

We asked to pay our bill so that we could open a new one at the new table.

At this point I must mention it was me and 2 other friends left who are LGBTQ+. The waiter came and said we couldn't sit there because only couples were allowed although it was a table by a big long sofa with chairs. I don't think the sitting area we were at was for couples or that they were taking any health and safety measures since there was plenty of space. We said it was just gonna be 3 of us and that the high tables and stools were very uncomfortable. The waiter gave no explanation and said no.

It seemed unreasonable to be honest, the place was packed and we weren't asking anything special other than leaving a much bigger to a larger group and getting a more comfy deal.

We paid our bill and left feeling like something wasn't quite right. I don't assume the reasons are discrimination related but it just seems odd they rather us to leave than let us take a smaller table.

Also, beers could have come colder, they sell by the bottle so I assume they weren't in the fridge long enough.

This was my last night in Lima and it left me with a bitter taste after...

The beer was tasty but there were some other issues. I’m a foreigner, I tip very well, and I expect good service in return.

When entering my friend and I were accosted for not wearing 2 masks (ok that’s normal here in Peru so no issue) but also for not having 3 vaccines. Vaccination isn’t a requirement to enter Peru as a foreigner and medical discrimination should be a crime, and is elsewhere.

Anyway I haven’t ever been asked for 3 shots on my vaccine ever except at this bar, very weird start. Usually my normal card showing 2 doses is fine. I tried telling the lady we don’t do that in the US- never mind the facts that the vaccines themselves are verifiably useless and probably getting recalled worldwide if you look at data but anyway, just use common sense.

If a grocery story here in Peru hasn’t given me an issue for my vaccine card ever yet, then why this bar? Of course, after wearing our 2 masks we go inside and take them off.

The chairs and seating- I was told I had to sit across in two stools and could not sit next to my friend. That’s how seating for 2 is they said. There was a couple right next to us sitting that way however so that was false. The beer was good however I’d recommend lupulo just across the street. Better treatment, not as cramped,...

A decir verdad, no me gusta mucho ir a los bares de las calles aledañas al Parque Kennedy. Siempre paran llenos por lo buenos que son, pero a veces uno busca entrar y encontrar dónde sentarse.

Es curioso. Anoche fui con unos amigos a Nuevo Mundo y vimos que no estaba precisamente lleno, es decir, había sitio para sentarse.

El ambiente es agradable, de hecho, va muy acorde al concepto. Tienen mesas bajas, con sillones cómodos, y mesas altas con sillas que no lo son tanto.

La carta de cervezas es realmente amplia. Tienen distintos estilos, con características diferentes. Realmente creo que hay para todo paladar. Me atrevería a decir que la persona que diga que no le gusta la cerveza es porque no ha ido a Nuevo Mundo.

Tuvimos hambre así que decidimos pedir unos piqueos. Lamentablemente, los tequeños que ordenamos demoraron un poco en llegar a nuestra mesa, sin embargo estaban muy ricos. En la relación precio, calidad y cantidad resultan una buena opción.

El servicio es muy bueno. La señorita que nos atendió fue en extremo amable. Además, conocía muy bien la carta de cervezas. Los distintos estilos, niveles de amargor, procesos de elaboración, entre otros. No hay nada más satisfactorio que te atienda alguien que realmente sabe y que no quiera mentirte.

Una complicación ligera es su ausencia de estacionamiento. Al estar en una calle metida y angosta, es algo difícil llegar en carro hasta la puerta del bar. Lo más lógico es llegar al Parque Kennedy y caminar.

Para ser sincero, no es un lugar que eligiría como primera opción por lo comentado líneas arriba: este tipo de bares generalmente revientan a ciertas horas de la noche. Sin embargo, si lo recomendaría (y lo haré) a mis amistades. Un buen bar con un...
