Viejo Almacén

Fodor's Review:

Viejo Almacén is both a hot spot for tango and a fine example of colonial architecture. Built in 1798 as a general store, it served as the British Hospital in the 1840s, and then as a customhouse. Tango artist Edmundo Rivero purchased it in 1969. It's only open for dinner and shows.
