Gibraltar
PUB
( 4362-5310; Perú 895; noon-4am)

of 2am. It's a huge space with multiple balconies and a great sound system highlighting

who also did that somewhat famous Parisian landmark.

Florería Atlántico
COCKTAIL BAR
( 4313-6093; Arroyo 872; 7pm-close Mon-Sat)
One of BA's hottest bars, this basement
speakeasy is located within a flower shop, adding an air of mystery and likely a main
reason for its success. Hipsters, artists, chefs, businessmen and expats all flock here for
