If you thought piano bars were a thing of the 90s, all good things come back. And as getting together around music and a good drink or a good dish is always a great plan, there are still Piano Bars in Buenos Aires. Those places where around a piano and some music you can have a great time. There are not many, but these are the piano bars that exist in Buenos Aires.
1. Lucrecia – Sandwich Piano Bar in Chacarita
This piano bar in Buenos Aires, more specifically in Chacarita, is causing a sensation. Every Wednesday, Lucrecia becomes a participatory stage with its Sándwich Piano Bar, a cycle where the piano plays live and the audience sings from the table. Guest artists, a very festive spirit and a lot of spontaneity make this proposal something closer to a bonfire and its group mystique than to a recital. It is perfect to go with friends and if you don’t hook up with anyone, don’t worry because you will surely end up singing with strangers.

3. Milion (Recoleta)
Milion is one of the nicest bars in Buenos Aires because it is in an old Belle Epoque style house and several spaces where, besides eating, there is always something interesting going on. Million does not work strictly as a traditional piano bar, but there are always live music and art events. Its sophisticated atmosphere, selected live music and a bar with personality make it part of this trend that favors the sensory and the acoustic.
Its main lounge, its tree-lined terraces and its cinematographic spirit make it the ideal setting for a special night out. Pay attention to its events agenda, because music always has a prominent place in the Milion experience.

4. Café Rivas in San Telmo
A classic hidden in a corner of San Telmo. Café Rivas offers live piano and jazz on selected nights, although its main events are tango. This café-restaurant in San Telmo has a European bistro aesthetic with a French and Italian-inspired menu. It is intimate, refined and cozy, with dim lighting and signature cuisine. This piano bar in Buenos Aires is more for those who want to enjoy dinner while others sing.
