This is a dive bar in the San Telmo section of BA. It is up a flight of stairs in an old building,…read moreand this not for those with limited mobility. They have a "happy hour" all day but the drinks are inexpensive anyhow. Beer, wine, hard liquor, and loud music are all on tap! They DO NOT make cocktails, REPEAT no cocktails. And the food menu is limited for those who don't eat meat. There are better bars in BA.

They were having a jazz night with a live band. We sat down, ordered drinks and enjoyed the amazing music. One of the guys from the band was probably 18, but he was a good musician. The bar crowd was a mix of 20 something year olds, tourists and randoms. They serve food, but we only had drinks. It was a little tough to pay the bill since they don't accept international cards. I would come back to try the other few nights.

I particularly like how the two-tiered interior gives the appearance of a four level venue, with its open atrium view between the upper and lower sections. There's a full bar with a great selection of beers on tap, bottled beer, and all kinds of distilled spirits. There's also a wine cellar with a quite a large selection of wines in the back corner. The patrons and staff I encountered here were friendly and beautiful, while remaining unpretentious. A lovely bartender promptly took my drink order as I walked in and quickly placed a delicious libation in front of me :-)

The menu has many shareable items from starters to entrees. The spirit and wine list is extensive including a draft and battle beer selection I had a house red wine with the Lomo Argentino. The Lomo Argentino was a filet of beef that was cooked perfectly and paired well with the wine. I'll be back again.

Indeed there was only one other table occupied at 8:45 PM because this is early for Buenos Aires dining. Once we were seated, the service proved to be good, however, other aspects of our experience turned us off. First, there is the simple matter of organization: No wine list. It appears that they offer about two different wines, but you have to rely on the server orally reciting your choices. Of course, there are two problems with this. First, she can't possible remember everything they offer. Second, after the 4th or 5th name, you have already forgotten the first one. This is simply ridiculous and has been solved at other restaurants with offering a wine list. For our appetizer we ordered Lagostinos En Panko. The lagostinos had promise, as they were large, but , sadly, they were uninspired. The panko is literally plain panko. That is, there was no discerible seasoning at all. It had the flavor of eating breadcrumbs. By this time, all the tables were occupied. For a main course we ordered the Vacio Al Horno De Barro con puree. Vacio is identified as flank steak. Perhaps it is, but the vacio we received was nothing like the flank steak cut in the U.S. It's a completely different cut. Unfortunately, the meat was incrediblly stringy and chewy. And, like most of these typical corner places, the meal is commonplace. No seasoning, that we could taste. You get exactly what is described on the menu: A hunk of meat and potatoes. When I asked for the check, the server asked if the food was good. We gave a polite, but weak, response that everything was okay. She persisted, clearly hoping for definitve assurance that were pleased, but how do you lie to such a nice server? We reiterated our indefinite approval, but in truth, we were disappointed. Too bad, because it's a cute place, with reasonable prices, and reasonably good service. We want another "go to" place in the neighborhood, but we are wanting something better. Food: 2 stars Service: 4 stars Ambiance: 3 stars Price: Reasonable. $301 included a botle of water and a Los Cardos Malbec in March, 2015.

They stopped serving the drinks that were on the menu promised. Then at the end, they asked us for more money than promised if we had to stay to party as was agreed upon earlier by word. We gave them the money agreed upon earlier and spent much money on drinks at a neighborhood club. Was terrible and extremely service.
