The Coolest Underground Clubs in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is known for its culture, whether it be theatre, music or art. The city has so much going on that it’s sometimes hard to keep track of what’s hot and what’s not, with new cultural spaces opening and old ones closing all the time. Here’s our rundown of the hottest underground venues right now.
1. Espacio Cultural Mi Casa
Nightclub, Wine, Beer, Cocktails, Argentina
2. Multiespacio Korova
Music Venue
La Confitería
La Confitería is the place to be right now. Haunt of artists, musicians and general movers and shakers of the BA scene, this venue has all the old-timey charm of former dance hall, with a huge terrace on the roof for you to escape the mass of sweaty bodies raving or grooving downstairs. The bar selection is fairly rudimentary, so don’t expect fancy cocktails, but do expect a damn good time.
Av. Federico Lacroze, 2963 Buenos Aires, Argentina, +54 11 4555 4991
3. Santos 4040
Veritable king of the cultural centre, Chacarita’s Santos 4040 has made a name for itself as one of the city’s premier venues for live music, performance, art and fun times. The ping pong area out the back is ideal for chilling out and mingling, while the main room is perfect for dancing to the improvised jams that happen every Tuesday at La Grande, one of Buenos Aires’ favourite weeknight activities.
4. La Cultura del Barrio
Gym
This boxing and martial arts gym in Villa Crespo doubles as an anti-fascist community centre and hardcore garage and punk venue. Not for the faint-hearted, to attend an event at La Cultura del Barrio you’ll need to bring grit and possibly a change of clothes, because things can get heated, literally. Mosh pits and high octane involvement are the order of the day, but this is underground fun at its best.

5. Club V
La Cultura del Barrio’s slightly less intense, yet equally as stimulating cousin Club V has been around for a while. Garage, punk and hardcore gigs take place almost every night at this Avenida Corrientes haunt. Go late, leave late.
6. POMO Distrito de Arte
This tiny cultural space on a side street in Palermo Soho is off the chain right now, especially among a younger, but discerning, crowd. Weekly jazz nights, art exhibitions and DJ sets by international artists are what keep people coming back to POMO. Be sure you know who’s playing, as the door policy can be exclusive.
