Caminos De Michoacan Bar

Nice little spot in Pilsen. Hole in the wall, easy to miss, but definitely a fun time. The place gets packed on Friday nights for Karaōke, so try to get there early. And don’t roll so deep. I made that mistake by showing up with 7 in my party. We ended up leaving after waiting in line for 15 minutes… Understandable because the place is small and they were packed that night. Cheap drinks and plenty of fun to be had.

A Mexican dive bar right in the residential area of Pilsen. Unless you live in the area, or got thirsty after an hour at the laundromat next door, you probably would never even know it existed. It’s really easy to miss, but if you make your way in it’s a decent little bar for a drink.
Pool table, very cheap drinks, MyTouch Tunes, and apparently they have a karaōke night as well. Unless you love dive bar hunting, you probably wouldn’t make it a destination, but if you find yourself down this way it’s a cheap ticket and there’s two taco trucks that park right around the corner.

I did not expect to have as much fun as I did when I came here for the first time last week. My family and I decided to stop by for a drink and some food since we’ve been hearing good things about Friday night’s karaōke .
We found a table pretty quickly — but we did arrive early too (around 9pm). We went to the bar to get some micheladas which were delicious and spicy, just the way I like it. Price was not bad, $ 6 each.
Unfortunately they don’t have food but they do allow outside food which was even better because there is this quesadilla food truck down the block that I LOVE! We went, picked up some grub and came back. The bar started to fill up, the music was a great mixture of everything and 5 shots later we were all dancing on the makeshift dance floor all night.
The only down side we had was when we went to get another round of micheladas. Another bartender (the owner I believe) made them and not only did they taste very different but the price wasn’t the same either. He charged us more. So I can’t really tell you what the right price for a michelada is since I don’t know who charged me correctly. We didn’t say anything, we were having too much fun to let that ruin our night. We just went back to our first bartender and asked him to make it spicy for us and he did.
I had so much fun I would for sure go back. I hope we did not just get lucky with a fun crowd that night. I doubt that though with all the good reviews this place gets. (:

This place is a lot of fun! The bartenders are cool, the karaōke dj was cool. Only thing is that karaōke night didn’t have enough karaōke.

Was at an event at Caminoes on 02-​May-​2015 had a blast!
Buckets of beer were 20 $ for imports for 6 bottles. The crowd was lively with a karaōke dj mixing a blend of banda music to Justin beiber.
The mixed drinks were full shot and averaged only 6 $.
The place was swamped but service was great for the crowds size.
The owner showed the the Mayweather fight for NO cover. other places in pilsen were charging 25 – 35 $.
Friday is the best day to go with a great mixes of people to mingle with.
The jukebox is loaded with any type of music you want from Sinatra to NWA.
Beware of the 12 district police they ticket the area frequently specially if you park near the corner…

Nice little bar in the heart of the hood in Pilsen. Cheap drinks, great sound system and friendly people. FREE nuts if that is your thang!

Omg, I love this place, I love the crowd, I love the bartenders!
Definitely not what I expected it to be but glad it turned out the way it did.
We had celebrated a birthday at DelToro one night and came here as our 2^nd stop.
The bartenders were very friendly from the get-​go, quick and polite.
The crowd was diverse and interesting. It ranged from a couple of older hispanic men to a couple of hipsters and everything in between. There was karaōke going on that night and when we walked in, someone was singing a cumbia song or something and people were dancing. Next thing you know, someone is singing an R&B love song, then someone sang some Tainted Love and then a Spanish Rock song. I love stuff like that. I keeps things interesting.
Beer buckets were pretty cheap. Parking wasn’t difficult. The bathroom line moves pretty fast.
Can’t wait to go back!

Best spot for Karaōke with a pretty awesome DJ! Prices are very reasonable… always welcomed there with open arms from the Torres familia! This is definitely my spot on Fridays!

I have my given name, and my Caminos De Michoacan name. Can you guess which is sexier?

I love karaōke night, great selection, crazy crowd. The staff is very friendly too, and you always meet people here. Go on Fridays if you want to sing.

Total garbage. Recent drive-​by shooting during evening business hours and a bit of gang affiliated activity. Glad no one was hit. I’ve been living in my home for over 30 years and let me tell you that nothing but wanna-​be intellectual drunks frequent here. Loud & rude clients who should leave the bar quietly through the streets; inconsiderate to local working class who have to wake up for work 7 days a week 6am. I’m only 36 years old and can’t believe my generation and younger can be this ghetto.

This is the only I bar I frequent. It’s like a Mexican Cheers. Torres is a great bartender who always accommodates his patrons and its a really cool spot to hit up on Fridays. The outside of the bar can be deceiving but come in for a cheap drink and a tune on the Internet jukebox. Now that the hipsters are coming the beer selection has grown. Love «my» bar!!!

Eeh, it’s okay if you like drunk old men and women hitting on you.
It gets really crowded for sporting events, so much so it is impossible to make it back to the bar to order another drink.
I did go once when there was a karaōke night, everyone seems to know one another here, a bit weird.
Ps. They do accept credit cards now.

Salvador is a charming bartender. The drinks are cheap and you get free snacks (popcorn, peanuts, chicharrón). We came here to watch a few playoff games. It’s down the street from my apartment. All I have to do is crawl back home.

It’s a little chill spot…
Price is cheap!
Only accept cash. They do have ATM inside.
Owner is awesome person!
They do let you rent bar out!
Friday and Saturdays they have DJ that spins…
Friday night are the best !

I walk by this place every day on my way to and from work. Most days there will be a few people smoking/​loitering at the paulina entrance (even at 10am). They always look like they’re up to something. and that something looks like it’s going to be fun.
I’ve been meaning to stop in for months and last night felt like the right time to investigate. Reasonable prices, internet jukebox, free snacks, fun regulars (dancing) and one adorable old bartender cemented this place as my new favorite neighborhood bar– very dangerously located 2 blocks from my apartment. Bye-​bye life!
