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.

Came here pretty late on a Sunday with a few others and it was packed!…read more food - OK atmosphere - great, lots of seats flowing onto the streets and live music service - good but slow

Los 36 Billares is a very old and traditional Argentinean restaurant and pool hall. It is over 100…read moreyears old and was founded in 1894. It is not a fancy place, but it is well maintained and is popular among locals. They have 11 pool tables to enjoy. I did not play any billiards, but I tried a bunch of food here. I went the traditional route and chose some Argentinean classics: locro, fugazzetta, and empanadas. Everything was filling and high quality with very reasonable prices. If you're looking for a solid local spot, this one delivers. Unlike Cafe Tortoni, this place is not touristy. And the space is huge as well and is perfect for a large group.

Driving around BA on a Sunday and ended up at 36 Billares for lunch. The building and billiard hall…read morewhich is located downstairs has been around since 1894. There are a lot of historical buildings that date back to the 1800's. I would have liked to have posted a picture of the homemade gnocchis we ate but unfortunately we came hungry and with everything that was going on I forgot. The billiards hall downstairs holds professional championships. I took no pictures at the hall since there were some serious games going on. The food and the service were very good. And the waitress greeted us with a kiss on the cheeks, very common here. In the states we shake hands, here you get a peck on the cheek. Only downside and it had absolutely nothing to do with the restaurant, was a manifestation of protests which aside from being peaceful was sort of a pain for those who needed to move around the main parts of the city. Me I happened to find it interesting.

The drinks here are expertly crafted and beautifully presented. The service is perfect. It is he…read moreperfect hotel bar after a day of touring Buenos Aires!

If you're into "checking in" to places be it on Swarm or Facebook or... are there other check-in…read moreapps?... it looks kind of cool to have just checked in to "Wherever". Dimly lit, dark wood bar, showing its wear, albeit only about a decade old - of course it could well have been another pub before. Perfect place to think of as a dive bar. But then you start to look at what's on offer - this is a Scotch bar for people who know their Scotch. Rumor has it that they have somewhere around 200 different labels! Unfortunately for me, I'm not a Scotch drinker, and the only beer available was Warsteiner on tap or Miller in bottle. I ordered a gin & tonic from one of the three or four gins available. Five different burgers on offer - really just different toppings available, as they're all the same burger - no fancy lamb or veggie or anything of that sort. I ordered the "Uno" sans sweet barbecue sauce. I'm not a bbq fan when it comes to burgers. Simple patty, good sized, perfectly seasoned, cooked to somewhere very slightly past medium rare. A slice of cheese, lettuce and tomato (smartly, the lettuce placed on the bottom, so it protects that bottom bun), a couple of sliced cornichons, a couple of slices of bacon, and some red onion. Steak fries, a little soft for my taste, but delicious. Herbed mayo to dip them in. The usual array of condiments in packets on the side. Done and done. Is it a great burger? No. But it's a very good burger and one I'd happily eat again at 135 pesos. And for you Scotch drinkers? This is the place.
