One of Montevideo's newer drinking hot spots, Baker's sits smack in the heart of the Cordón–Parque Rodó nightlife district. Cofounders Santiago Urquhart and Charlie Sarli, transplants from superstar bar-restaurant La Huella on Uruguay's Atlantic coast, have infused the place with a cool, low-key energy, serving up well-mixed drinks, tasty tapas and good music.
