Up the stairs in an old mansion lies this dimly lit jazz bar, with high brick ceilings and
a good sound system. Come early to snag a seat (or reserve one ahead of time) and partake
in the typically Argentine menu and good range of cocktails. Thelonious is known for its
classic and contemporary Argentine jazz lineups, though international musicians some-
times entertain.
