Agree. Not all are loud, open all night with drunks, but some need to go!

It's only a very few that are problematic in the main part of the old downtown section, including the one on the corner of Vicente Guerrero and Nicolás Bravo where I believe at last count they had something like ten shooting deaths, but who's counting, the extremely offensive one across from the zócalo, one or two on Hermenegildo Galeana, a couple on Agustín Ramirez, two by Any's, and the one across from Pizzas Locas. There may be a couple more.

Please allow me to elaborate on & identify some of those offenisive bars con "nombre y apellido":
--the one on the corner of Vicente Guerrero and Nicolás Bravo now is
"La Shula", (which previously was known as E.G.O. Bar)
--the extremely offensive one across from the zócalo is aptly named
"La Ingobernable"
--a couple on Agustín Ramirez - one is
"Bar Carlos" that disturbs visitors at the Hotel Avila, as well as spoils the image of what once was a nice walkway years ago.
--two by Any's - one of the two is called
"Overtime"
--I would also add the one called "Madona" (sp?), which I see as the "fly in the ointment", that somewhat ruined what was once a pleasant atmosphere, where the good restaurants such as La Porteña, are concentrated on El Paseo del Pecador between el Zócalo y el muelle.
--And, two more by la escuela primaria "Vicente Guerrero" on la calle Juan N. Álvarez
Los Delfines; Charco de las Ranas, (who courteously provided nightly thumping bass tones to residents en la Colonia de La Madera/calle Adelita)

I'm not in favor of having ANY bars, due to their problematic practices disturbing both residents and at least, some visitors, as well.

That said, they have a right to exist.

IF the corresponding Environmental Norms about hours of operation, decibels, and sound pressure levels, etc., were applied and enforced, that would be a big help.
Unfortunately, the evidence is that the local "Authorities" responsible for doing that, are not willing to do their job related to the problem.

As far as the current closure of bars, it seemed that a worldwide health crisis was the "trick" needed to get that done.
No doubt when the Covid-19 crisis ends, the bars will reopen and continue their disturbances.
