  • THE NIGHT

    BS AS is an excellent place to have fun, you´ll choose what, Bs. As have it... is really difficult to recomend you a place if i don´t know what are you`re interested... anyway a good place to dance tango, and i mean a good one `cos maybe it´s not so popular and the people may be young... it´s the Catedral...
    the problem is that it´s located not in adowntown area... anyway... take a cab and go, or mail me...

    Lo mejor de Buenos Aires es la diversidad de propuestas, no solo contamos con excelentes restaurantes sino tambien podemos agregar que encontraran una variada muestra de la cocina del mundo.
    La zona de pubs se diversifica por intereses y es muy amplia y sobre lugares para bailar ademas de musica electronica (creamfields se acerca), hay muy buenas milongas para bailar el tango o lugares latinos... en conclusion... todo para divertirse

    Tango shows - Tango places: Milongas - Nights of Argentine Tango

    Milonga, 'tango party', is a place or an event where tango is danced; people who frequently go to milongas are sometimes called milongueros. There are endless varieties of milongas available throughout the city every day, with a greater concentration on weekends. Each milonga has its own style, ambient and clientele. Most of them often begin with dancing classes and many have presentations by professional performance dancers. Three to five songs are usually played in a row followed by a short brake when they can change partners.

    Same place hosts different quality milongas on different days of the week, so it's a good idea to look at the program (you can get it in tango shoes shops, tango music shops and milongas), before you decide for one. The link below is the most up-to-date list of milongas of Buenos Aires. My favourites were:

    La Viruta
    It is a preferred place for the younger public where people attend dancing classes before the dance.

  • La Catedral is a new age tango club with a completely different look and feel of the mainstream tango venues. Art hangs from the ceiling of this warehouse converted club.
    Classes are every Thursday at 7 pm. English and Dutch spoken.
    Dances every Friday night until late.
    Very often some sort of show will be preformed on the Fridays.

    Relax, wear jeans if you want. This tends to be less casual.

    Great place for people watching, having a coffee, etc and watching a bit of Tango

    Definitely a tourist place but hey so is the Eiffel Tower :))

    La Estancia is a famous restaurante, but on the first story every fridays and saturdays from 21:30 hs (9 pm) they offer a good show of tango and argentine folklore.
    The place is a comfy room decorated "all uso nostro", some of the artists are famous professionals and someothers are new talents looking for his place in this universe of the music and dances.
    At all, traditional dances, tango and singers, perfect to know somethings about us with a glass of an excellent glass of red wine

    Nothing special, but try to avoid hawaian style clothes ;-D) so, be a bit formal.

    I was a bit tired my first night in Buenos Aires, but I pushed my travel partner to pick a night activity. It was decided to go to a tango show which I was dreading. I thought that it was going to be really stupid but we ended up picking Señor Tango which is the most amazing show I had seen in a really long time. I don't want to give things away, but you sit at a table in this big theatre/restaurant. You can chose to have dinner included in your fee or to just come for the show and have drinks. The cost is AR $150 a person but it also includes transfers to and from your hotel.

    The show started and I was amazed at how much work they put into it. I was especially impressed by Señor Tango himself and quickly went to get a photograph with him after the show. I suggest this to all adults (of all ages) as an excellent night activity, you can expect to have some good laughs, see amazing dancers and experience night life in Buenos Aires in a different way.

    I would go weaing pants and closed shoes. Probably not a t-shirt either. They won't allow you to take pictures during the show (just so you know).

    Tango shows - Tango places: For real Tango try a milonga
  • Tip Rating:
  • Porteno
  • Updated By Porteno on March 25, 2009
  • Buenos Aires Page by Porteno
  • The milongas are probably your best bet to view "real" tango and my recommendations for some good ones are ...................in addition here is a link for most of the milongas in the city
    http://www.buenosairesmilongas.com/

    * Las Glorietas, an outdoor milonga held on Saturday afternoons in a gazebo in a park in Belgrano, totally charmed me. It attracted lots of onlookers, and people were even taking pictures, which is usually a no-no at milongas. Nobody seemed to mind. I have heard there are lessons but don't know when they start. The link I posted says it takes place (and offers lessons) Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but check when you get there; I thought it was only Saturday afternoons, but I could be wrong.

    * La Catedral is an interesting experience. If you plan to dance, do not wear your new shoes -- the wooden floor is pretty torn up. The venue is unique, to say the least. When I went, there weren't many people dancing, but lots watching (it was Halloween and there were a few performances, so that may have had something to do with it). I believe it's open every night but can't confirm that -- call to check. It's at Sarmiento 4006 in Almagro. Phone: 4342 4794

    * Confiteria La Ideal is by far the best venue I saw for people who just want to watch (or even take beginner lessons). It helps that the building in which it's held is gorgeous and dripping with history. They often have live music, and I believe most of the instructors speak English. This not my favorite milonga for dancing, but I would not hesitate to recommend it as the genuine article to someone who would like to see real tango in action.
