You'd never know it was there, but one of the coolest new Palermo Hollywood bars is situated on the corner of Juan B Justo and Paraguay streets in an old 3-story house. Ring the doorbell and be greeted by one of the owners, where you will walk up the steep stairway to a hipster haven, a house party-like atmosphere filled with comfortable vintage couches and chairs for lounging. One more flight of stairs will lead you to the party room, loud music blaring, a kitchen converted into a bar flowing with high-end cocktails and a wrap around outdoor terrace. Once known as a secret spot, now Ferona is open every night of the week. Call for the exact address. - Alexandra Lazar
Hidden behind a massive red door on a Palermo corner, this ultra-cool bar attracts a local and foreign crowd. Known for their top of the line cocktails, wide beer and wine selection and authentic Venezuelan food, you can guzzle down a Kangaroo (tequila, kiwi, peach and orange juice) whiling munching on tostones (flattened and fried green plantains) or arepas (traditional dish usually filled with meat or cheese). With an impressive rooftop terrace, this spot fills up Thursday through Saturday nights, where a more chilled out party goer can let loose until the early hours without venturing off to a large club.
Exclusivity is the name of the game at this secret Palermo bar, where it's essential to know the password to enter. Closed-door restaurants aren't the only rage in Buenos Aires, now closed-door bars are increasing in popularity as well. After managing to get past the front door's bouncer, step into a faux, old fashioned telephone booth, punch in the secret code, and watch as a hidden door instantly swings open. Enter a large two level bar, meticulous in design, where expert bartenders mix up the swankiest of drinks for the young and beautiful Buenos Aires elite. Be warned that there is an adult-themed shop near the entrance. - Alexandra Lazar
