Wow, if you're endorsing it then I'm going to check it out on my next trip. I have a bunch of British clients that say they come here. I will check it out!
Its not an upmarket place but quite often we will use it as a meeting poiint before going for a big formal dinner in la Brigada, which is only a couple of blocks away.
I just had a pint in here last week. I was going to say casual place. Pub/bar atmosphere. @earlyretirement I read some of your food posts. This might be too low brow for your expensive tastes!
its a "have a pint with the boys after work" place....not cocktails at six....
Yep exactly. I went in there to watch a soccer match once. It's a popular spot with expats. When I was there, there were a lot of English speakers but it might have been because the UK was playing. Good selection of beer and friendly service.
@earlyretirement will be fine - I am sure he can swim in all sorts of seas . I will take him in next month and explain the etiquette of the place!
Ha! Yes, you know me already so well and we have never met yet in person! Most people don't know this but I spent a lot of time traveling around the world. I have visited just about every country in South America. I've been to over 600 cities in almost 80 countries. Even today I am usually on the road 1`00+ days out of the year.
Wow that is a great tip. How did you figure this out @MickMolloy? Did someone mention it to you? Or you just figured it out on your own?
What are the people angry about? I was there last month and the economy was very bad but people seemed to be in ok spirits for how bad the economy is. I was surprised how busy all the restaurants are. Some tourists but many locals as well.
being told that communism works, and believing they are victims, then their political party lost, and now they have to get a real job
I left town a few weeks ago but prior to that and all of this year I think many people are just tired and scared. Heck, even expat friends that I know that have lived in BA for many years are scared of the unknown. I am prepared for anything but after spending the past few weeks in NYC I can tell you that prices here are very crazy expensive. I doubt BA can or will get more expensive than the USA. Fortunately I have USD savings and income but for locals it's a crappy time for them. No doubt they are depressed about the cost of living increases but that inflation was going on all year. True its sped up but Milei has always said this would be the case to fix things.
