Keep in mind the way Polanco and Condesa are setup are way different from each other. Condesa is pedestrian friendly and ideal for barhopping and venue changing. Polanco spots are more isolated and better to drive/cab around.
Hen, didn't you like Polanco more than Condesa?
How come?
Yeah I liked Polanco more. It took a while to figure where to go because it doesn't have a main drag like Condesa where you can just walk from place to place but once we got the intel we found the venues there were much nicer (high quality) and the girls were way more fly. The only spot I liked in Condesa was Pata Negra but I got there too late to fully exploit it. It's free to get in and it's more like one of those bars in Adam's Morgan where people dress however they want, but you can pickup from the vibe that it's a spot to find the ONS. Even when I got there at like 2am I almost pulled a Mexican actress for the ONS but couldn't get her friends to leave us alone. Had I stayed an extra day it probably would have went down.
Pata Negra is a come one, come all kind of place though. It's not high end at all and quality is all over the map.
In Polanco you have consistency and quality. It's pretty much nice wherever you go.
You could try one of two things...
Starting the night at Pata Negra early (around 11pm) and seeing if you can pull something. If you haven't pulled by around 12:30 or 1am, cab it to Plaza Antara in Polanco to hit either Joy Room or Ragga.
Or you could start the night in Polanco. They have bars like Barrezzito, for instance that definitely has cute girls.

The setup inside kind of makes it tough to get at girls that are seated because of these box tables that obstruct access. It also gets crowded in the standing up areas and when I was there they had a stage that had some kind of cover band that was distracting everyone.
Since you smoke you can just move to the patio where there are girls around having a light.
There's other bars in Polanco that I'm sure Bars knows about. I think it's more your speed than Condesa. I went to like three or four venues in Condesa but with the exception of Pata Negra didn't think much of them.
I think on a trip Polanco is where you should go to enjoy a night out. You're probably going to bring good threads, want to look your best, etc. Condesa is more for a laid back v-neck/t-shirt and jeans night.
