It was one of the first speakeasy in Buenos Aires and its decoration is austere. It is basically a very large house hidden behind a big wooden door. Today it is very well known, but in its day it was very well hidden. We recommend you to taste its beers and whiskies, unique!

Uptown

It is the newest speakeasy in the city of Buenos Aires and although it is well hidden, it is easily recognizable by the long line to enter that there is on most occasions. The most original thing is that its entrance seems to be a subway station. Every week different DJs liven up the atmosphere, the rhythm doesn’t stop!

La Calle Bar
