New Brighton

Buenos Aires


This beautifully restored historical bar feels like the well-kept secret of refined local gentlemen who gather here after work. A doorman welcomes guests while bartenders stir and shake drinks behind a polished-wood bar; during mealtimes, a pianist entertains on the baby grand. Order a classic cocktail and enjoy the tray of elegant finger food that comes with it.
