Walking through the doors of Cocktail 80 in the heart of Palermo is the closest thing to stepping into a time machine to travel back to an era when cell phones didn’t exist. This themed bar pays homage to the pop culture of the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, and you can see it in all the original collectibles, music videos playing on CRT screens, and flavors steeped in memory on the menu. If you’re in Palermo and looking for a great bar for a night out with a twist, how about a trip back in time?
A temple of nostalgia featuring original memorabilia
Cocktails 80 is decorated with real treasures collected over the years. On its walls and shelves, you’ll find working payphones serving as decor, vintage TVs showing classic Argentine commercials, cassettes, record players, vintage comic books, iconic toys, and unforgettable TV references (does “La Llama que Llama” ring a bell?). The entire experience at this bar is set to the music of rock and pop hits from those decades, accompanied by their original music videos.
The menu: a tribute to Pumper Nic and Argentine rock
The menu complements the concept with dishes and drinks named after figures and memories from that era: the Classic Pumper Nic Burger and the Flaco Spinetta Sandwich, along with a bar featuring classic and signature cocktails, are just a few of the menu highlights you have to try.
If the ’80s are an era you wish you’d lived through, spending an afternoon at this themed bar in Buenos Aires—surrounded by neon signs and vintage toys—is an unbeatable option.
📅Days and hours: Tuesday through Sunday from 5:30 p.m. until past midnight.
