The Place:
Conga Room
The Scene:
In the last four years, since Buenos Aires became a true top US and UK tourist destination, the nightlife scene has experienced an influx of kitschy dance clubs and booze bars privy to the Guinness drinking-set that descend on the city as a budget getaway. A neighborhood away from the glare of Palermo Soho, Congo Bar is nothing like its name would suggest. A moody and stylish supper club and casual drinking bar located on an edgy section of Honduras more familiar with Nike-wearing locals than stiletto strutting tourists. Visitors arrive to a dimly lit lounge and galley bar lined in terracotta tiles with wood paneled walls and minimalist vibe that opens to a small dining room with it’s own foodie following. Outside, a large patio is a groovy summer rendezvous for area DJ mixing on vintage vinyl till 5am.
JetSet Tips:
Unpretentious drinking bar and foodie lounge from the owners of Niceto Lounge offers 3am menu of Argentine specialties and local bar for singles looking to groove till the wee-hours of dawn.
Last Word:
A surprisingly upscale menu includes open parilla of grilled beef and chicken, roasted salmon salad, and langoustine croquettes with guacamole available through closing.
