- My brother Connor and I decided to journey across the Paso Del Norte Bridge into Mexico to seek a bar and restaurant that boasted to be the birthplace of the famous alcoholic drink - the Margarita. The Kentucky Club, located in Ciudad Juárez, a city tainted in recent years by the warring drug cartels, has been serving cocktails and cervezas to thirsty customers since it opened in 1920. This establishment claims to be the bar that created the Margarita, in fact there's a plaque cemented in the sidewalk at the front door that declares this so it must be true.
In addition to it's historic claim to fame as the birthplace of the margarita, the Kentucky Club has hosted numerous celebrities and athletes over that past century with notable patrons as John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, and Elizabeth Taylor.
My experience here at the Kentucky Club was wonderful: the margaritas were fantastic, the history was all around, the music was loud, the nightlife was fun, the people were kind, the food was authentic. I loved everything about this place and is now one of my all-time favorite bars.
Hearing about the horrible reputation of Ciudad Juarez in recent years, my brother and I took a chance and I am delighted to say that this was an incredibly positive experience in Mexico. The street of Benito Juarez that the bar is located on is just a couple blocks away from the US/Mexican border. This entire strip was full of energy - bars and nightclubs full of young people out having a good time. Any fears we had in the recesses of our minds quickly diminished and we engaged full-heartedly in the hospitality and compassion of the people in Juarez. I plan to come back and explore more of Juarez soon.
I am happy to say this is My First International Vlog!

Great video! Kentucky Club is the best. So many memories of this bar.
Thanks, really enjoyed my time there and plan to return again.
Great memories of Juarez 1979-1982. US ARMY
' Was stationed at Fort Bliss and had a blast there in the 80's.
I bet you have some good stories!
Yes, downtown Juarez late at night early 80's!!!!!!
They had some hopping dance clubs on Juarez Avenue. Sarawalks is the only one still there. Used to go to Cosmos & Freddie's bar. So much fun & plenty of tequila.
from El Paso this is what we did for fun as teenagers .
Damm bro those tacos look good.. I just put this place in my checklists lol
Reminds me of a place called ''CURLYS'' 1980...........MIRRORS AND TROUGH PISSERS!
The canal with the water is not the Rio Grande. The almost empty one is the Rio. The one with the water is the Franklin canal and is an irrigation canal.
I figured that out on the way back into the USA, never knew the name of the canal tho.
i had one gringo ancestor from Kentucky who settled in El Paso i wonder if he opened that bar.
watched a YuoTuber who just moved to El Paso but said she will not go to Mexico , i told her that is like living in France and not going to Paris.
@@vivavasquez I know Juarez gets a bad rep, but I had a great time. Will def go back!
Does viva La Mexico mean “I love Mexico”?
It means “Long live Mexico” but yes it basically means I Love Mexico or you could say Amo Mexico or Me Encanta Mexico!
