Gran Bar Danzón

Gran Bar Danzón Review

It's a two-story climb up the steep stairs to BA's best wine bar. Go early in the evening, and it's your worst nightmare of a dimly lit lounge with hard-drinking middle-aged businessmen. Wait until dinner hour—after 8—and the crowd changes to the local yuppie and wine-geek set wolfing down some of the best lounge food in town, including great sushi (don't miss the crispy prawn rolls), eclectic appetizers and main courses, and a selection of wines by the glass that can't be beat. It's not too bad on the wallet either, particularly for the neighborhood and quality. Wednesday nights there's live jazz early.

    This is the place to go for happy hour in Buenos Aires. At 8pm this place is packed with wall to wall people. Mainly young and mainly local. Service was a trifle slow and it was very loud...but if you want action...this is the place to go.

    I land at EZE at 9:15am on a Sunday and plan to fly to USH that afternoon. Read more
