I've been here for about 6 months and I've noticed that cocktails are often the most expensive item on many menus. At many of the bars/restaurants the cost of a cocktail is the same price as an entree. I.e. Bife de Chorizo w/ side for 40 pesos, gin and tonic 38 pesos.
To combat this I usually order local beer or house wine when I go out but I have friends coming to town next weekend who enjoy spirits. Does anyone know of any affordable drinking holes?
Of course the obvious answer is to avoid Palermo Hollywood, Puerto Madero and the like, so please don't let that be your answer. I'm asking for actual locations in town where a person can sip cocktails that are priced proportionately with other goods in Argentina.
Thanks in advance!
