Buenos Aires has a world-class selection in nightclubs (or “boliches” as they are called here) and from Wednesday through Sunday, people go out to dance and listen to music all over town. Here we give you the lowdown on some of the best clubs and nightlife in Buenos Aires.
Apart from Wednesdays' so-called After Office parties, where things start up around 21:00, you normally do not enter a club before 1:30 in the morning, so take time for dinner and some drinks first to avoid being alone on the dance floor. Remember that people dress to impress in BA so get yourself a smart shirt and avoid Nikes.
Asia de Cuba: Lounge restaurant that turns into a club later at night. Very close to the new Hilton Hotel in Puerto Madero and popular hang-out for BA's rich kids and a lot of tourists. Pierina Dealessi 750.
Bahrein: Dancing in a monumental former bank. Big name DJ's and good crowds. Multiple places to chill out and a VIP room in the vault. Drum & Bass night on Tuesdays, making it one of the few spots for the beginning of the week. Too many kids on weekends, so best avoided then. Lavalle 345, between Reconquista and 25 de Mayo.
Boutique: Formerly known as Museum and still the best club for Wednesdays after office nights from 21:00 till 03:00. Beautiful old building designed by Gustave Eiffel (yes, the guy from that tower in that other city). Peru 535 between Venezuela and Mexico in San Telmo.
Crobar: Famous for their clubs in New York and Miami. Crobar opened a spot in BA in late 2005. Nice place and the biggest competitor for famous DJ's performing to Pacha. Especially popular on Fridays. Av Infanta Isabel & Av Marcelino Freyre.
Pacha: Based on the Ibiza club of the same name. Still going strong on Fridays and Saturdays with international superstar DJ's once or twice a month. Fantastic view from the roof terrace over the Rio de la Plata when the sun comes up in the morning. Located at Costanera Norte, directly across from Jorge Newbury Airport on the waterfront.
Caix: Like Pacha, very close to the city airport Jorge Newbury, this is the BA club for people with serious sleep disorders. They try to attract people on other nights and times as well, but the place is really at its best from 9:00 on Sunday morning until the DJ pulls off his headphones at 15:00. The ultimate after party. Costanera Norte, Complejo Costa Salguero.
