Nightlife & bars

Bar streets, rooftops, pubs and late spots, with closing times and the usual traps.

How this page is built

Built from Voykit's data; times and prices change

The rest are drawn from this guide’s own Buenos Aires lists: the things-to-do list, experiences and tours, drinking spots, weekly events, the rainy-day plan and the like-a-local picks. A city gets this page with at least 6 picks across 3 kinds.

“Tonight” and “this weekend” use your device clock converted to Buenos Aires time (America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires) and only list picks with set times in our data. Walk and ride times in the planner are straight-line estimates. The rain switch uses a live Open-Meteo forecast. Prices are local currency with an approximate conversion; anything marked check can change, so confirm on the venue’s own site before you go.
