Club Door Policies
All clubs have bouncers. Dress well - smart casual is good enough at most clubs. To get in more eas-
ily, try playing up your foreign accent - porteños love the exotic (though foreigners are now common
in BA). You can also sign up in advance via online-reservation forms that some clubs keep; this some-
times gets you in more easily and/or offers discounts.
Resources
Many newspapers have entertainment supplements published on Friday; the Buenos Aires Herald (an
English-language publication) is particularly handy. Also check www.vuenosairez.com (in Spanish)
and www.argentinaindependent.com (in English) for current happenings.
