On our first day in Buenos Aires, we stopped into the Oak Bar for a pre-dinner cocktail. The bar is…read morelocated off the stately lobby of the Park Hyatt hotel and looks like an elegant club rather than a common bar. They have an extensive menu of their signature cocktails and a wide range of spirits on hand very each had martinis that were well shaken and served with a generous twist of Keon. Both were delicious. The service is competent and friendly but totally unobtrusive. The deep plush chairs and the wood paneled walls make the bar cozy and invite one to relax. There's a small food menu which we did not sample. They also have a humidor for those interested in a cigar.

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)!

Located on the top floor (rooftop) of the Tango de Mayo Hotel--it's views can't be beat! Happy Hour…read morehas some solid 2 for 1 deals (at time of writing this, NOV 7, 2018--a variety of cocktails were priced for HH as 2 for $200ARS aka two for about $6USD). But also note HH is not daily, only Wednesday thru Saturdays. We didn't try any of the small plates offered, but they do apparently have food/munchies. The vibe is casual-chic (if that is in fact a thing, and not something I just made up lol) ie in no way pretentious and very much come as you are, but also has the vibe and music of a more trendy spot. But, also, again know that it's on the roof of a hotel, so there's not only a decent mix of younger locals, but also (what seems to be) older/foreign guests of the hotel. The servers/bartenders are attentive and friendly, and my boyfriend and I have enjoyed 2 (each) of the very best Aperol Spritz's we've ever had anywhere in the world (we can't decide if the the bartender is using a different ratio, or a special Prosecco or what, but they are TASTY!) all for a grand total of $400ARS aka 12 bucks US (what one single Spritz might cost me in my hometown of Philadelphia). All in all the Happy Hour (or just the view) if you're in the area is worth checking out!

The space itself is dark - we were given a mini-flashlight to read the menu. Most of the staff speak a little English - they also have an English menu if you need it. We had the ceviche, the soft boiled and mushroom croquetta appetizer, the squid ink risotto, and a dulce de leche meringue dessert. The food had balanced and unique flavors and was cooked perfectly. My favorite was the ceviche with fresh salmon and ginger undertones. We were very well taken care of by Javier, one of the bartenders. He provided great food and wine recommendations throughout the night. We will definitely be back for another meal before we leave Argentina!

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!

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.

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.
