The name says it all – Absentha specializes in cocktails, and it does them well. Indulge in a tipple from the menu of classic drinks and order up some of the bar’s tasty Tex-Mex-inspired snacks if hunger strikes.

4. Cerveceria Otto Tipp

Cerveceria Otto Tipp

Don’t miss this iconic bar to taste a selection of micro-brews, made onsite. With six varieties to choose from, including a pilsner humorously named ‘Gringa’, and free samples of all of them, there’s no way to go wrong here. Top off the visit with a taste of some regional fare, like Patagonian lamb.
