These Fridays seem to come around every week, and what better things to do on a Friday night than meet up with freinds, old and new, for a drink or three. So its got cold, no more frinking afuera (only for the die hard smokers) so what better place to cosy up together than in Treffen bar to...

It's another double celebration theme for this weeks Friday Night Drinks. For those Ex-pats who hail from the British Empire, they can raise a glass to the young bride and her Prince as they tied the knot earlier this morning, over in the Mother Country. As for the rest of us, we have a...

Yes, it's Good Friday, and let's make it a Great Friday, with the regular weekly time to imbibe a few drinks and relax with friends to end the week, or this week to enjoy the Easter Weekend if you are staying in the Capital, instead of doing what many locals are doing and getting stuck in...

Does anyone on here subscribe to any magazines by post, specifically from the UK or Ireland, successfully? I ask as I want to subscribe to a couple of magazines that way, and apart from my own experience with a US based distribution of a magazine, I am not aware of how the postal service deals...

My apologies for failing to post the last Hash run details, as we actually took the Hash over to Uruguay and had a run a couple of weeks ago with our sister group from Montevideo. With getting the trip organised I completely forgot to post the details of the run here - So sincere apologies...

After visiting the new (to us) and lovely Treffen bar last week where we'll definetly return soon, we have decided to go back to the Puerta Roja (or Red Door as some people like to call it) that we frinked in back in January as the Irish one was away and didn't get to try it out. The bar is...

Yep, it's another holiday weekend here in Buenos Aires, and the First Feriado Frinking of Autumn. Now, some might be away for the long weekend, but if you're not, why not enjoy the Feriado with some friends (old and new) in one of our favourite Brew Bars, Breoghans. Just in case this bar...

Yesm, it is a Holiday weekend, and what better way to spend Sunday but with Buenos Aires's very own "Drinking Club with a Running Problem. Come along and enjoy the fun. Follow the trail, enjoy the craic, swallow a beer, and be prepared to have some fun in the sun. As you can see, we have been...

As previously teased, the next run by the BA Hash House Harriers is this coming Sunday, March 13th, and as the nearest hash to St Patricks Day, the theme for the run is, naturally enough, an Irish St Patricks One. The trail will be laid by a couple of Irish ex-Pats (me included!), and an...

Appreciating that newcomers come straight to this part of the site when they first join up, you may be missing out on some of the social events that are covered elsewhere on the site. One of these events is a weekly meeting for a few drinks on a Friday night. A group of BA Expats Regulars, and...
