Top Rated Nightlife in Buenos Aires

The 'Paseo de la Infanta' is a complex full of restaurants, bars, pubs and discs. This space includes 'Move', a small pub which transforms itself during the day into a lovely outdoors restaurant set on colorful paving stones and with fascinating views of the lakes of Palermo. At night, the dim lights, music and drinks ignite the floor and moods of the pub goers. So, what are you waiting for—just 'move'!

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.

Take a breather from the splashy concept bars and froufrou cocktails around town and kick back at Guevara, a narrow little rock-n-roll dive just steps from San Telmo's heart, Plaza Dorrego. Guevara draws in a motley crew of local hippies, hipsters, travelers and students, all who drift in for cheap draft beer, blasting '80s tunes, and the inevitable elbow-rubbing that results from the lack of space. Bouncers have gotten increasingly more strict about capacity regulations and tend to allow access only on a one-out. Either show up earlier or pick up a couple of beers around the corner to make your sidewalk wait a little bit less tedious.

Palermo’s lively restro bar, Perón Perón, is an exceptional place for some evening cocktails and traditional Argentinian flavors.
