Chopería Mastra

Montevideo


This convivial pub in Montevideo's agricultural market is the flagship outlet for Uruguay's beloved Mastra microbrewery. With a dozen varieties to choose from, you may prefer to opt for the tabla degustación (a four-beer sampler, available weekdays only). Mastra has several other pubs around town, including near the beach in Pocitos.
