Anyone that knows of this place will tell you it's worth coming to time and time again. Due to the city being what it is you are going to have a crazy time finding anything that matches this place in terms of aesthetic. This place resembles a renovated alleyway and is almost entirely outside and spacious between two brick type buildings. The owner, Fidel clearly sank a lot of time making it a comfortable and relaxed environment.
- Beer - Their beer selection as it stands now is small but promising. They have about 5 taps serving the standard Quilmes, Patagonia lineup. They also have a somewhat hidden tap of homebrew that rotates often and has literally never let me down in quality (Seriously give this a try regardless of what it is). Last I checked with Fidel he was in talks to add 4 more taps to his lineup which would give the location a very refreshing array of beers to try, here's to hoping they can snag some promising local breweries as the Quilmes/Patagonia humdrum can be a deterrent for some. They also have soda, water, tonic if you don't want beer, no wine from what I can tell.
- Aesthetic - I usually do not comment too much on this factor but in a city that seems to thrive off intensity at all times this is a nice break from it. For the life of me, I could not find a place that played music that was at least slightly calm until I came to this place. Its the only place I have found with a very laid-back vibe and to top it off it is outdoors. They have lights strung up across the place to give it almost a back patio summer feel that I always enjoyed back in the states. I would usually turn right around the first time I saw their beer selection but I am totally honest when I say the atmosphere here made me become a regular even before I tried the beer and food.
- Food - Simply put they have the best chicken wings I have ever had both here in Argentina and in the states. I was told to try Chicken Bros for good wings but once I got a taste of these I never went back. At the time of writing this, they run about 40 Pesos for 7 which in my book is an amazing deal. They also have sandwiches which are amazing as well and was the reason I mentally decided to make this a regular eating spot in the first place...the wings just turned it into an addiction.
Tidbits
- Happy hour is phenomenally priced and runs until about 9 I think.
- The hours on Yelp are incorrect and they tend to open at around 6, not 5 so just keep that in mind.
- If you're keen on it I have met nothing but friendly people here like I said...the good vibes carry onto the people you see here as well.
- They have Foosball and hula hoops
-They have an indoor section in the back
- In case you miss it the entrance is a gate with a colorful wall.
- Most people working here know English to a fair amount so if you're timid about your Spanish it is not an overwhelming location to check out.
- It's outdoors so you might endure some cigarette smoke if that's not your thing just be aware.
- Maybe I have not been there late enough but this place stays rather mellow unless a party comes through. While that is a huge draw for me it may be a deterrent for others.
I sincerely think that if you are in Palermo or even Buenos Aires you are missing out on how diverse and interesting this city can be if you do not give this place a shot. As it stands I go to this place every week at least and they are worth every Peso. I continue to wish them the best of luck in the future and hope they continue to grow in business and popularity.
