Top 10 Nightlife in San Telmo, Capital Federal District
The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

It is a fabulous way to spend and hour or two in this simple and elegant wine shop. Yamila, the owner of the shop and a sommelier introduced us to the wines of Argentina, the north, south and central regions/provinces. Its a place not only to buy wine for drinking at home and for gifts confident hat Yamila’s knowledge would ensure the right wine is selected. I know that if I lived in Buenos Aires this would be a place that I would be buying my wines.

9. La Cumparsita Tango Bar

4.5 based on 26 reviews
Reviewed By billandtanis - Cleveland, United States
La Cumparsita is not a tourist attraction--it's a local's tango bar that is filled to the brim with sensual dancing, heartfelt singing, and unbelievable retro-characters. Tucked away on a corner in the San Telmo area exists one of the few remaining milongas that hasn't sold out to the tourist hoards. The musicians are pouring their souls out through their instruments--smiles from ear-to-ear and sweat streaming from their brows. It's not an act, it's not artificial--before you know it, tears will be welling up because you thought that a place and people like this didn't exist anymore. Of particular note, the stately and grandfatherly Hugo Pagano on the accordian (he has to be 80 years old!) displays more passion and energy than my teenagers. My wife and I never danced a tango before tonight and the dancers gracefully and graciously escorted us across the floor in an impromptu lesson. The milonga barely seats 35-40 people and doesn't start to get going until 10-11pm; we stayed until 3am on a Friday evening and the party was still rolling! For $50, we had a bottle of wine, dessert, and the time of our life...
