La Casona del Molino

Salta


This former mansion, about 20 blocks west of Plaza 9 de Julio, is a Salta classic. Several spacious rooms feature performers who work around the tables rather than on a stage, as well as spontaneous jams and lots of dancing. The food is good quality (mains cost AR$70 to AR$180). Get there earlyish to guarantee a table.

There's a cover on weekend nights.
