How to Get Free Drinks in Buenos Aires
by Molly McHugh, Editor/Publisher of South America Living. About the Author
When I read “Canilla Libre de Bebidas Todo La Noche” (“Free Drinks All Night Long” in English) my heart skipped a beat. Allright, that is an exaggeration but I did perk up a bit.
All night? I can put away 5-6 in a five or so hour period if I’m having a good time so that’s a $25-$35 USD ‘night on the town’ savings. Canilla means “tap” in English. That’s ok, you can pour from a kegger… don’t need any fancy wine bottles here. Where, when and what do you need to do?
What I had read was a brochure from our hostal by Sabor a Tango, a dinner show theater. When you buy dinner, the drinks are on them. I think I’ve made a new friend.
There is seating at the venue for 500 people, with a theater at the front. Tango is the entertainment on display, and I am sure lots of good music to go with it. It was the photographs of the Tango dancers on the brochure that really caught my interest (but free drinks are more fun to write about) – I’ve yet to see a live show and think the dance is spectacular. You can book online with the link above.
I wasn’t able to attend this visit to Buenos Aires, but is top on my list for next time traveling through. Thought it was worth a mention. Cheers.
In 2007 after three years in Mexico it was time for new adventures. My son, our 22 pound Rat Terrier and I packed-up and traveled via ‘I’d rather not remember how many’ busses through Mexico, Central and South America to a new temporary home – Argentina.
Restless and wanting to branch out on my own rather than grub for travel writing assignments I began South America Living – to provide quality, in-depth information for those wanting to move to or travel extensively in South America, as we have been fortunate to do for the past four plus years.
We’ve zipped (me screaming with eyes closed… my son laughing) through treetops, surfed a few waves (Huanchaco, Peru), rode horseback down dusty desert trails (Tupiza, Bolivia), stood in awe at thundering spray (Iguazu Falls) and an endless horizon of salt (Salar de Uyuni), sailed high into the sky (paragliding in Canoa, Ecuador) as well as on water (whale watching in La Paloma, Uruguay) while meeting and making many new friends.
Come along on our journey while we try to help you plan yours and enjoy, Molly
