878 bar is an institution of Buenos Aires cocktail culture. Founded in 2004 in Villa Crespo behind an anonymous facade with no signage, it pioneered the speakeasy concept in Buenos Aires long before it became fashionable. Today, with over two decades of history, 878 bar remains the country's most awarded bar — ranked 25th among the world's 50 best bars by Drink International.

The offering at 878 bar is solid and consistent: over 100 whiskies, classic and innovative cocktails by bartender Javier Sosa, Argentine wines from an in-house cellar and seasonal food. No Instagram-first fanfare — just well-made drinks in an atmospheric space with high ceilings and exposed brick.

A CLASSIC THAT NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION

878 bar has outlasted every trend by consistently betting on quality without pretension. Word of mouth made it a reference for both locals and travellers seeking an authentic high-end cocktail experience in Buenos Aires.
