    By far the best bar we went to during our one week stay in beautiful Buenos Aires. Crystal Bar is located on the 32nd floor of the Alvear Icon hotel in buzzy Puerto Madero. The bar has panoramic views of the city and the Rio Plata, but the city view is preferable because of the glorious sunsets to be seen. We arrived at the bar one minute before opening at 6:00pm and there was already a line for the elevator. We managed to secure west facing seats and got to watch the sun setting over sprawling BA. What a sight! The bar has a full wine and liquor menu with many interesting cocktails. We opted for classic vodka martinis (excellent) followed by a bottle of Rutini Malbec, a well-known Mendoza product. The wine was reasonably priced and excellent. The food menu is limited but was adequate for us that evening. We shared the sushi platter and were thoroughly satisfied with the quality and the quantity. By the way, there is a full service restaurant just a floor below (Kayla) which would be worth trying out. This bar is a must visit if you are ever in Buenos Aires with an evening to spare.

    Great place, view we're really good even on a cloudy night. Table minibus is very easy to hit and the drinks were delicious

    Arriving back from Iguaza Falls, we decided to risk a very late dinner here without reservations…read more The uber ride dropped us off and a pleasant employee guided us to the location as we were a bit bewildered as to where the flower shop storefront was located. We loved the florist- yes plenty of fresh flowers in the shop, They opened the walk in fridge door and we walked downstairs to the speakeasy amid the dj spinning records. We were seated at a table and a very pleasant server ( who spoke English) dropped of our menus and took our drink orders. My aperol spritz was refreshing and hubby enjoyed his cocktail too. Our preferences for seafood or veggies allowed our server to make recommendations that were amazing. The complimentary sourdough bread was devoured- it had been a long 24 hrs without much food - another story! The crab empanada was large enough to share and was AMAZINGLY yummy. No wonder it is one of the most ordered dishes. Hubby loved his anchovy crostini, the BBQ shrimp - delicious, and we shared the argula salad- also a winner. Not much wait for an Uber back to our Airbnb at 1am- time to prepare for tomorrow's departure. Hope to return in the future!

    Rating: 4.8/5 [dine in]…read more This speakeasy is tucked inside a flower shop and has made the World's Top 50 Bars list for 11 years, so we had to check it out! We came on a Friday around 6:30 PM and were seated right away. The vibe was calm enough to hold a conversation, though we were told that around 9:30 PM a DJ comes on and the energy shifts. After walking through the flower shop, a host led us through a hidden door and down a flight of stairs into the bar. The menu is extensive, so it took us a few minutes to decide, but our cocktails arrived quickly. Presentation is simple with no flashy garnishes, yet the drinks were crystal clear and incredibly balanced. They were so good we finished them fast. Highly recommend the Yvy Maraey (14,800 ARS)!

    During our trip to Buenos Aires, we were disappointed with how many of the highly rated cocktail…read morebars were just not good.....like at all. The drinks were bad. The places were loud and the music was not cohesive to the ambiance. We luckily found the Harrison Speakeasy and we had such a wonderful time. It's open late and really gives the speakeasy vibes that so many "speakeasies" are lacking these days. The music was great. The DJ was very impressive and played a nice array of music. Seamlessly mixing old and new salsa and more. The drinks - we finally had some good drinks here! I was so happy after the previous bars we had been to. The only downside here was that we got there and were having such a good time, then it closed and we were left wanting more. It was such a nice time and I really appreciated the opportunity to visit during our trip!

    The Harrison is a New York prohibition themed speakeasy tucked behind the Nicky NY sushi. To enter,…read moreyou must walk through the restaurant and a server will take you behind the wine cellar and a "Time Machine". It was a bit funny seeing another country's interpretation of "American culture" but I think Harrison nailed it - from the New York newspaper menus to the classy interior to the expertly made cocktails. I could not decide on the cocktail menu, so the bartender asked me what my preferences were. She whipped up a mint banana drink and it was SO AMAZINGLY GOOD. Like one of the best cocktails of my life. AND it was only $6!! (Granted, all the cocktails in Buenos Aires are $6 USD) During my visit to Buenos Aires I also tried two of the "world's top 50" bars: Tres Monos and Floreria Atlantico. Honestly, I think Harrison has them both beat in terms of ambiance and beverage. Wonderful experience and I will definitely come back the next time I'm in town.

The tea did its job, warmed me up, settled things down. But sitting there watching plates fly by, especially their famous burger, I couldn't help but feel like I missed out. Guess I'll have to come back when I'm at full strength and give it the fair shot it deserves. Some meals aren't meant to be judged halfway.

    Pony Line is located inside the Four Seasons Buenos Aires. It serves at the hotel's main lounge,…read morethus is open only at night. ATMOSPHERE: Located just off the lobby, it's a small space with lounges, high tops and bar seating. It' s not a dance club by any means. The crowd was younger-local and the vibe felt like an upscale social event, making for easy conversation with not too loud DJ music. Decor is warm and contemporary. MENU: Bar-style apps, charcuterie, sandwiches, burgers, salads, pizzas, desserts. While we didn't eat, my spouse and I were looking for a night cap. Because we were guests of the hotel, we didn't have to pay a cover charge. Being that it was a Saturday night, the place was filled but not overly crowded, meaning no seats were available but no one was standing around either. We were told we'd get a spot ASAP but instead of waiting, we decided to walk across the street to the row of restaurants that are under the freeway overpass. Personally, I like to explore the city and not just stay in the hotel anyway. As expected while walking by the place on a Sunday night, it was completely empty! Oh well. OVERALL: Maybe next time we'll get to experience the food and drinks. So, it's a 3-star for now.
