Chori

Diner, South American, $$$

A few doors away from Espacio Ro is Chori, not technically a bar, but actually a gourmet choripan eatery that only has a few drinks options, but they are worth going for. Craft beer and yerba mate-infused gin are the order of the day, and Chori’s corner location means that folks come and hang out, chow down on some tasty chori and wash it back with a stiff gin and tonic.

Nola

Snack Bar, North American, $$$

Buenos Aires’ favourite fried chicken shack does a roaring trade, and is packed nightly with chicken fiends who take a pew on the pavement when the small interior fills up. Nola is great for mingling while you chomp on your chicken nuggets, and their drinks list has expanded to include some new cocktails as well as the beer and wine that made it famous in the first place.

This low-key craft beer bar is a firm favourite with locals, so much so that it recently opened a second located a few blocks away.

Try and get a table outside for the full Palermo experience.
