Buenos Aires' tango sceen is quite boring these days and I hope these are good places to go even alone;-)
Didn't find any info on the net about "Opera City" it's new or they keep on changing names?

On the other hand, I walked by The Museum twice recently and have seen zero activity there.

Posts: 4Drove past in a taxi looking for Millon, Parana 1048 Recoleta, but appears to have closed down. I then went around the corner to Sahara, a bar cum disco near Hippopotamus, for a couple.
After this I went into the Newport but this is a pro bar, beers 30 pesos I should have known!
I have found Kilkennys to have a few freelancers in there several times a week, pints of guiness p39 just about fell off the chair when they told me! This place has not changed much still dark and dreary, different bar flys though.
I will report on any others as they come to light.

Kudos, my friend.
Hopes yo livah holds out!
Glad to see you mentioned the TAZZ in Plaza Serrano. Rockin Bob and I like to go there, shoot pool, guzzle beer and ogle the cute young Portenas leaning over the tables. But I suspect Rockin Bob's biggest reason to go there is to hassle the DJ into playing his favorite makeout music from his misspent youth. Most of his choices make my eyes glaze over. However we both agree on the eternal unrequited love sentiments of "Walk Away Renee" and "Pretty Ballerina" by The Left Banke.
I will always associate the latter song with blue balls and a girl I dated who grew up to become a headline stripper and bit actress. Her boobs have a walk-on part in Good Luck Chuck. No, I'm not referring to Jessica Alba.
Also I should suggest inclusion of my friend's place, the Truman Bar on Bonpland which is re-opening after renovations on October 1. If they're having an opening party, I'll try to get you an invite.

I am not sure what exactly you want to say by "we appreciate your list"? Damn!!You almost sound like my ex- School Principal or CEO of a company, I may be working "under"!! :-)
Jokes apart, my list is basically for 27-47 age group on visiting mongers, who may be into pub crawling and want to know about the currently happening "non-mongering" places in Buenos Aires. I personally like to visit non-mongering non-pick-up joints as well, and assume their may be other mongers visiting BA with similar interests & tastes as me and hence I posted the list for them.
I have been to most of the places you mentioned but didn't consider them worth mentioning as some of the places are meant either for teenagers (late teens / early 20's swarming in to get free beer) or absolutely empty pubs for older men (55+) who like it quiet and slow or these places were just not up to the mark as per my viewpoint to make into that list. Or I perhaps forgot to mention them in the list.Or I just didn't get time to visit it.
Nevertheless, I never said that ALL these places have great service or great food or are pick up joints. However, it does not necessarily mean that they are not worthy of being among the top BA pubs, cos of this reason alone.
You are welcome to create your own advisory list & recommendations.
Thanks,
Captain

I still keep and eye on The Shamrock as I pass by the intersection of Arenales and Rodriguez Pena. Still packed to the gills. Strikes me as the Alamo crowd but with a few more years on them and a little more money.
