It’s time to get our drink on. We are all about finding the best happy hour deals in Buenos Aires, so we’ve eaten and drunk our way through the city’s bars, restaurants and lounges to find that special place that satisfies all of our happy hour needs.
 

 

Antares

The Bar: I am going to bare a bit of my beer-loving soul here and say that Antares houses some of the best craft beer, or cervezas artesanales, in Buenos Aires. There are three locations around town, and each evokes a dark, inviting atmosphere with lively crowd.

The Happy Hour Special: 2×1 pints everyday before 8pm. Hop on a bar stool and enjoy a refreshing IPA amidst the raucous crowd.

Hot tip: Hungry? The Antares fries can’t be missed.

Armenia 1447, Palermo Soho / Bolívar 391, San Telmo / Arévalo 2876, Las Cañitas.

 

Duarte

The Bar: Duarte leads the way in the city’s cocktail scene with a fully stocked bar and attentive barman serving crazy good craft cocktails.

The Happy Hour Special: Extensive Happy Hour drink menu available everyday before 9pm.

Hot tip: The whiskey sour here is on point. To really get you going ? Absinthe fuel.

Aráoz 1218, Palermo Viejo

 

Baum

The Bar: Baum is BOMB. This craft brew bar all began in 2009 in Mar del Plata, and became a welcome addition to the Palermo beer scene. Unwind with friends after a long day of work in the hidden space.

The Happy Hour Special: 2×1 pints from 6-8pm.

Hot tip: We’re all about the Stout Beer, because who doesn’t love a strong, dark beer in winter? The ribs might be some of the best in the city.

Doppelgänger

The Bar: In the über-bohemian corners of San Telmo lies Doppelgänger, arguably the best cocktail bar in all of San Telmo. It’s like a roaring twenties timewarp pouring classic and modern cocktails right.

Hot tip: NOLA brews their own beer, Broeders, which was put on La Nacion’s top 10 list of places to go for craft brews in Buenos Aires.
