If you're craving French food while in Argentina, look for this spot!…read more My friends and I were casually walking back to the hotel and looking for a place for dinner. We stumbled across this place. We walked in and spoke with the owner who is French himself. Even though it was packed we were accommodated within about 8-10 minutes. There were 4 of us. The menu has all the French traditional dishes you expect. I ordered the escargot and other appetisers included oysters and French onion soup. The food tasted incredible! Fresh, hot and seasoned well. I ordered the salon, other orders included beef and duck. Everyone was completely satisfied with their dishes and I can tell you my salmon was amazing. Our dinner was accompanied by great Malbec (when in Argentina get great Malbec)wine. The ambiance in this place was great, very lively and loud as everyone had been enjoying their dinner. The price was very, very reasonable. I can't say if it's expensive for locals with the Argentine peso, but for US dollars this dinner was super cheap for us. A must go if you're in the neighbourhood or in BA!

The ambience is dark with splashes of colors around the bar, and the drinks are eclectic and unique. The bar is pretty small and intimate, and we were seated right in front of the bartender where we got to enjoy watching the bartenders prepare the drinks so expertly. Each drink was so flavorful. Great service and appreciated the little candies at the end. 10/10 experience, would definitely come back!

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.

Unfortunately I didn't notice until I got home that evening. I'm not sure if it's because I'm a tourist that I was overcharged but am disputing the charge. I will never go back there.

The staff was super nice, they helped us with many things such as booking great places to eat and giving handy tips to visit the city. We got upgraded to a better room (the next door, see website for more info) in order not to be disturbed by a party going on when we arrived, nice thought. The house itself is very well decorated, looks like a loft you would want to own!! The garden and the pool are also very nice and relaxing. The breakfast was beyond expectations (we weren't even aware it was included). The only small regret I have is that we came at very calm period and didn't experience the busy/party crowd. Most of the time we had the entire place for ourselves (which is also nice in a way).

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.

There's a small food menu which we did not sample. They also have a humidor for those interested in a cigar.

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!
