Some doors are worth finding.

001BEHIND THE WIG SHOP

A perfectly ordinary wig store.
Almost.

On 5a Avenida Norte, a few steps from the Arch, thousands of people walk the most famous street in Guatemala every day. Almost no one notices the door hiding on it. In their defense: it looks like a wig store. That's the idea.

Behind it waits Wisdom: low light and green velvet, brick arches, shelves of old encyclopedias, a quote hiding under your coaster. The room was built for people who notice things. If you're reading this, you're probably one of them.

And when the conversation turns to dancing, there is one more secret: a hidden door that opens straight into Las Vibras, the hottest nightclub in Antigua. A speakeasy and a nightclub, a few feet apart. Nowhere else in the city can the night change that fast.

The kitchen would like a word.

FROM THE KITCHEN

To share

Sourdough flatbread, patatas bravas, arancinis, and parm & honey eggplant crisps, built for a table deep in conversation.

Pastas

Fresh pasta: pesto with macadamia and crispy prosciutto, truffle balsamic mushroom, and a smoked barbecue bolognese.

Pizzas

From a classic Neapolitan to La Bianca with truffle oil, and La Mar: garlic shrimp in house chimichurri.

004WEDDINGS BY WISDOM

Your venue pours the soft drinks.
We bring everything else.

The Cocktail Program

The same signature and classic cocktails we pour at the speakeasy, made to the exact recipes, at your venue. You choose them at a private tasting.

The Open Bar

We carry your entire bar: name-brand spirits, house cocktails, beers, and mixers. Your guests drink whatever they want, as often as they want, for one fixed price.
