Tips from the community
Brothel turned iconic hangout, Bar Federal offers unique beers, Argentine staples, and a distinctly charming atmosphere. It’s on the corner of Carlos Calvo and Perú, and is thus a prime spot for people watching in San Telmo. Nabbing one of the few outdoor seats here is like winning the lottery.
Bar Federal is one of Los Notables, a group of historic bars and cafes that merge art, culture, literature, and food. These include Celta Bar, Bar Dorrego, La Poesía, Bar de Cao, and Café Mangot, which all opened their doors between 1864 and 1982. Don’t forget to look up at its external signage that is drawn in fileteado, a decorative style of flowery writing that’s unique to Buenos Aires and its tango culture.
