Best bars in Buenos Aires
Much of the best drinking in Buenos Aires happens in Palermo, home to Tres Monos, a neon-lit bar that makes its own house spirits. The same team's Victor Audio Bar plays vinyl through high-fidelity sound to go with martinis, and CoChinChina sets Franco-Vietnamese flavours against Latin American ingredients. In Retiro, Florería Atlántico is reached by walking through a working flower shop.
