Born in San Telmo’s neighborhood, back in 1978, Jazz & Pop, as the name rightly suggests, is a well-known jazz club. Since its inception, the club was and is a haven for jazz lovers all over the city. Established and well-known musicians Chick Corea, Carmen McRae, Fats Fernandez, and Hermeto Pascoal among others have graced the floor here. If the great music wasn’t enough, patrons also get the chance to taste decadent empanadas and good wine.
Music is the queen, at this bar-music shop. This paradise for music fans, allows them to listen to any band on a computer with headsets, while savoring a hot cup of coffee. Its modern aesthetics constitute a unique place. There is a natural garden in the back, that features nice little tables under the sky, a perfect setting for warm, starry nights. Indoors, the carefully arranged tables harmonize with the dim light, candles, and selected music. Live music performances, are on Fridays and Saturdays from 11:30p.
A fixture in the milonga circuit, La Catédral packs in the dancers and the spectators in this warehouse-turned-tango venue. Despite the crowds of foreigners and locals that flock there every Tuesday and Wednesday, this place maintains its underground feel as traditional, modern and sometimes radical tango moves across the floor. A 10p Tuesday night class is suitable for all levels, and you're guaranteed to meet other travelers by stepping on their toes. Try the all-vegetarian dinner menus and prepare to stay late - a live band starts between 1:00a and 2:00a on Tuesdays.
