Drinkers in BA don't take their evenings out lightly-they come to drink, and drink they will, in Irish pubs, on rooftop terraces, and amongst the jet-set of Buenos Aires. Strolling around the city, visitors will note bars on every corner of every block. Meeting up for a coffee or to share a beer is big business here, meaning that most bars don't have so much as closing hours, and most drinking is done at tables with a bowl of chips or peanuts, chatting with friends, rather than perched at the bar in a group. Should you want to venture out to happy hour, to meet with friends or meet new people, try the British and Irish-style pubs like San Telmo's Gibraltar, Recoleta's Shamrock, or Palermo's Bangalore (the Bombay Sapphire-and-tonic pitchers are a steal during happy hour). If upscale is more your style, mosey on over to Milión, where the upstairs bar spills out into the central courtyard; the frozen mojitos are to die for and the bar food includes shrimp ceviche and jalapeño poppers. In Palermo, hit up Bar Uriarte or Isabel for slick company and a chichi atmosphere. Should you be looking for space for your group, you will be in good company at the ever-popular Acabar. And for the best beer selection in town, try the Dutch Van Koning in Las Cañitas.
