Nearly every Argentine president and his cabinet have come here, in addition to visiting celebs such as the queen of Spain, the emperor of Japan, Luciano Pavarotti, and David Copperfield. This English-style bar features mahogany furniture and velvet upholstery and is the type of place where guests sip martinis and smoke Cuban cigars. Tuxedo-clad waiters can recommend a fine selection of whiskeys and brandies. This is a wonderful throwback to a more refined age, still attracting a sophisticated crowd who come to sip Scotch and puff on cigars in the plush setting. The décor is all mahogany, velvet and leather – luxurious yet subtly so. You'll get a James Bond buzz as you order a martini from one of the Tuxedo-clad waiters and settle into a leather arm chair to drink it.
