Looking for an outing in Buenos Aires with a difference, something that combines food, drink and fun? You probably know that there are excellent pool bars and many other places to bowl all night long. But if you’ve already tried them and want something different, the bars with board games in Buenos Aires keep growing.
1. CheBonche
Located in Palermo, CheBonche is one of the many themed bars in Buenos Aires that combines excellent food with an impressive variety of cocktails and dishes, including vegetarian and vegan options. Plus, it’s pet friendly.

2. Jobs
Jobs Bar was one of the reference gaming bars in Buenos Aires a few years ago. After being closed, it returned to the Boedo neighborhood and is once again a place of reference with an even wider offer: bow and arrow, pool, ping pong, a wall full of board games, which makes it one of the best bars with board games in Buenos Aires to combine everything in one night.
