Ojo Bizarro
Ojo Bizarro is one of the city’s most bohemian hangouts and it is a great place to come and start the night. Spacious rooms and mood lighting define the space of this bar, where each room has its own individual DJ. Be careful when you move in the surrounding area as it has a reputation for being slightly unsavory, especially late at night.
Address: Igualdad 176, Cordoba, Argentina
Barranca Live Club
Barranca Live Club is extremely popular with the movers and shakers of the city who are looking to go dancing on their night out. Part of the hustle and bustle of the Albasto nightlife, this live-music venue and disco is a good place to start the night as it fills up far earlier than most surrounding bars, around 11pm. On Fridays they throw Latino dance parties and on Saturdays they have bands and live music.

Located right in the heart of Córdoba’s buzzing night scene, Maria Maria is a great spot to hit just as the night has started to warm up, around midnight, for the best music and crowds.
Captain Blue
While you might think of tango first when thinking of dancing in Argentina, Córdoba actually has a huge salsa and bachata scene too. All the Latin vibes you could ever dream of can be found at Captain Blue. Often host to live bands and professional dancers, this bar is a great spot to come and get your groove on. If you’re too shy to dance, you’ll enjoy just sipping a drink and observing the talent.

O’Connors
You probably didn’t come to Argentina to visit an Irish pub, but O’Connors isn’t just any old pub. This pub is incredibly popular with ex-pats and also with locals, and is perhaps the best spot in the city to come for a good pint. For homesick Brits, this is the place to come for some classic pub meal and it’s also a great venue for watching sports.

Johnny B Good
From an Irish pub to an American one, Johnny B Good is one of the most popular drinking spots in town, and with good reason. Huge cardboard cutouts of old rockers surround you as you sip your drinks, and here you also have the option to feast on American food. There’s a daily happy hour, making this place great value for a post-work tipple.

Memphis Social Club
Memphis Social Club is a cool spot to have some beers after work. They also serve up some delicious empanadas should you get a bit peckish.

This bar regularly hosts live bands, supporting local talent and showcasing particularly Argentine rock.
