Good bars

[BundaLover]

Thanks guys now I'm going to go crazy radical on you guys with one of my special Bundalovers tip for BA: Be nice to the ugly girls, the over the hill women of the same kind of economic class of girls that you like. That's right bite the bullet and be nice to 55 year old in the check out line because she has a daughter that will knock your socks off. Be nice and ask out a sweet and charming girl with a face that can stop a clock because she has many good looking friends that she will introduce you to. Always hit up the ugliest girl in the group. Not overtly but just easy does it.

BundaLover hit it right on, despite what some guys say about their wonderful and free experiences with the regular girls.

Thomaso276 is absolutely right about BundaLover.

I've only been to BA 3 times in last 3 years but I too found very few bars that were not 'resto-bars' or 'disco-bars' in BA. This one large difference between BA and Rio. Million seems like it fits the bill however each time I went (typically before 10pm it was dead) I am told the reason is that I was going too early. But I'd rather have dinner then sit around at a bar with nobody there and typically dinner takes awhile in BA so finishing early at 1am I don't feel like fucking around at a bar without live music. For a large town BA really does SUCK for live music. Very very few resto-bars have live music. And of one has to decide to have dinner OR catch a show exactly at dinner time.

Notorius is pretty good for live music however the layout makes for lousy bar interaction. All the pussy and couples are seated at tables and the bar which is parallel to the stage is empty. If the locals don't get a table they turn around and walk out. They REFUSE to sit or stand at the bar. In the US or Brasil the bar would be 4 rows deep of people. I think there is a cultural difference involved here.

However that Irish bar not far from Plaza San Martin is LOADED to gills after work and early evening with locals. Locals think of nothing to stand togehter packed at the bar. If you can stand the very concentrated smoke and noise level you will see this place get lots of 2 legged creatures.

I noticed that outside of BA like Rossario and Mendoza the bar action is more traditional even though the towns are smaller. I've got to believe that for all the fanatastic resto-bars in palermo that BA simply doesnt have adult bars. I've not really found any and its not for lack of sticking my head in doors. Yeah yeah there are several bars at the plaza in palermo but they are all 'kiddie' bars and fern bars. Even If I were 27 I would feel too old there.

Finally I will add that there is a certain stand-off nish of the local girls with respect to being approached by a stranger in any place in BA. They simply are not of the mindset to respond to stranger. I have gone out with local girls via family and friends connections and asked them about this. They were very very nice to me during the evening and told me they wouldnt give me the time of day at night if I werent introduced to them by a friend etc. We talked about this and they said that if they even respond to a BA locals glance the guys are all assholes and won't leave them alone. That when they go shopping on Santa Fe that they can't even say hi back to a guy or he is going to follow them and over interpet their simple return of gesture so. This is SO different from Brasil. This helps explain my observations. Groups of mixed couples and single girls in BA are friendly to those they feel are 'in group' or safe. But if you approach them they don't perceive that you are 'friendly' and safe. Your milage may vary.

Even if you arent as cute as I am or as charming as I am or as blah blah blah. If always pays to be nice to the locals because once you start going out with them your circle of introductions will increase. This has been talked about by Jackson and other board members that live here. However for the guy that just drops in once in awhile BA is not going to welcome you with open arms. It not as bad as New York but we tourists arent big deals to the locals.

The bar you talk about is Kilkenny and it was really good in 2005 and the early part of 2006. Now it mainly sucks. Wednesday and Thursday nights are still decent, sometimes Friday as well but it's not like it was used to be, with hundreds of people waiting to get in

Is El gran Manzon near to Patio Bullrich?

Hot Spots for regular girls.

My 27 year old son and 3 buddies just spent 10 nights in BA.

Their recommendations in order are: The Big One, Crowbar, Alamo, Mint, and Cuba de Asia.

Also mentioned were Milion, El Living, and Shamrock.

The Big One, Crowbar, Mint, Asia de Cuba are discos. Alamo is not really ok to to pick up girls, Shamrock is mainly a friends meeting place and Million and El Living I don't know.

Any more suggestions?

Can somebody tell me where there are good bars / pubs where there is party in Capital and where the man-woman ratio is about 50-50

I have been living 3 years in BA and in my opinion they are not there anymore.

P. S.1: I am not looking for restobars, or tipical bar to go with friends, but bars where you can have a good time and pick-up girls if you are alone or with a few friends.

P. S.2: I am not looking for boliches or night clubs neither.
