Indeed La Continental owns it. The menu is leather bound and printed in old style, but it is exactly La Continental menu and prices. The basement billard hall is in full operation . The Rivadavia side still has the old Gallegos playing cards. The original numbered marble topped tables, but the interior wood panneling fully restored and bathrooms remodled.
Congratulations La Continental for a job well done preserving a Buenos Aires landmark at affordable prices.

Posts: 125Tapas bars
I love to eat and I especially love to try different foods in different cultures. One snack food I have never understood the overwhelming love for is Tapas. I have been to Spain many times and many guide books talk about the great TAPAS at different bars. Tapas to me are a small but expensive snack. The first time I tried a tapas some 30 years ago I thought they were free. In the USA many bars serve free snacks during happy hour. On this page I read an entry that said this certain bar had great TAPAS. Do people eat tapas for dinner or just an early evening snack before dinner. To me eating something like this would ruin my dinner appetite. Please dont make too much fun of question. Inquiring minds need to know.

For those of you looking for another, different experience try this restaurant. It's on the Libertador Avenue number 405. That is on the other side of the avenue from where you would expect. It's hidden amongst old abandoned railway sheds. The owner is Carlos Regazzoni, a reasonably well World known sculptor. Carlos uses junk from these old sheds to fashion his sculptures and is one hell of a weird, fun guy to meet.
The restaurant isn't easy to find but if you follow the path entering at the 405 number of Libertador you'll come across it. Here you will find anything from an avestruz (ostrich) leg on the parrilla (grill) to a huge boar or wild pig roasting away.
You'll probably eat what Carlos suggests whether you like it or not. The idea behind the restaurant is that you eat road kill or at least railroad kill.
Carlo's father or grandfather (I don't remember exactly) worked on the trans-Patagonia railroad Sometimes the train would hit an ostrich or something and they would stop, pick it up and cook it on the train's engine.
It's not for the feint of heart and much less for a weak stomach but for those looking for that one time experience in Buenos Aires (and probably in the World) try it out. I highly recommend it for someone with a knowledge of Spanish and a love of art as Carlos will sit at your table for a while and squeezing stories and experience as an artist out of him makes the evening worthwhile.

One of my favorite meals with a girl I used to hang around with was to sit at the bar, ask for a dish or garlic shrimp and a bottle of Malbec. As TL says, it's the best in town!
