Bar Magico is in the neighborhood of Balvanera and it is truly a magic bar because from the moment you walk through the door you are immersed in the world of magic and prestidigitation by the hand of the magician Marcelo Insúa and all the magicians that perform every night in this themed bar in Buenos Aires. What makes Bar de Magia one of the best theme bars in Buenos Aires is that it is obviously a drinks bar but also a magic theater where there are intimate magic shows for a small audience.

19. Bar The New Brighton
The Brighton is a bar and restaurant of those that are no longer left, not only because it is more than 100 years old and is preserved almost exactly as no one almost a century ago but because precisely this style and atmosphere makes it ideal for films that recreate an era very difficult to find in other notable bars in the city of Buenos Aires. In the case of The Brighton, entering it transports anyone to the 1900s. In fact, that theme in each of its furniture and decorative elements make it one of the only and best early 20th century themed bars in Buenos Aires, straight out of the famous Netflix series, Peaky Blinders for example.
