The 10 Best Bars For Expats In Buenos Aires
4 min readBuenos Aires’ expat scene is just as hedonistic as that of the locals, so there are a multitude of bars that foreigners living in the city frequent during the week and at weekends. We round up the best bars for expats in Buenos Aires.
1. Chicken Bros
Bar, American
2. El Alamo
Bar, Pub Grub
Chupitos
Another favorite with college kids looking for their very own lost weekend, the shots-only haven of Chupitos has to be seen to be believed. Their choice of shots is seemingly endless, and they cater for their young clientele with activities such as beer pong and video arcade games. So popular is this shooter joint that they have four locations in Buenos Aires and the province.
The Temple Bar
Another favored expat hangout, The Temple Bar has two locations close to each other so that if one is busy, you don’t need to go too far. It can be hard living in a different country, but people come to Temple Bar for familiarity and to socialize, so don’t be a wallflower and get ready to mingle. Don’t be surprised if an English-speaking Argentine approaches you, Temple Bar also draws people who want to practice their English and meet people from abroad.

3. The Shamrock
Bar, Nightclub, Pub Grub
If you’re looking to get your groove on and meet some expats while you’re at it, The Shamrock is the place for you. Irish bars are generally frequented by foreigners seeking an injection of fun from the Emerald Isle, and this place provides exactly that. It’s not as cheesy as most Irish bars, and the nightclub downstairs is the perfect place to shake those hips after a couple of drinks.
Hache Almacen
This cute little wine bar draws a decidedly female crowd of expats, who go for the delicious yet reasonably priced wines at happy hour, the generous picadas of meat and cheese, and the dreamy owner who presides over this grape haven. Hache has strange opening hours so be sure to check their Facebook page in advance.
Hache Almacen, Carranza 1670, Buenos Aires, Argentina +54 11 15-3514-2014
4. Chori
Restaurant, Fast Food, Argentina
Who doesn’t love a choripan? Well, this gourmet sausage restaurant has taken the humble chori to another level of deliciousness, and as well as their sausage specialties, this Palermo bar is also known for excellent drinks. Antares on tap, cocktails and local favorite Apostoles gin are all on the menu, serving a largely male clientele.
5. Darsena
Bar, Cocktail Bar, Cocktails, Pub Grub, Wine, Beer, Argentina
Darsena is a hit with the expat crowd, owing mainly to its large patio and industrial feel created by the shipping containers which the bar is constructed with. Beyond the patio is an indoor area with cosy booths lining the walls, and they have a pretty legit food menu too. With spring just around the corner, expect Darsena to be packed over the next few months, so bring your A-game for all those friendly foreigners who will be hitting the outdoor area.
