If, when you think about going out in Buenos Aires, the first thing that comes to mind is a good bar, what do you say to a new bar that just opened at one of Buenos Aires’ most iconic viewpoints? It overlooks the river and is tucked away high up in Puerto Madero.
Mirador Central has opened in Puerto Madero—a panoramic bar with a prime location from which you can see Buenos Aires from above, the Casa Rosada, and the river. The location of this new rooftop bar couldn’t be better or more perfect for your plans and outings in the city, as it’s perched atop the Palacio Libertad—the building that once housed the Buenos Aires Post Office and now serves as one of the city’s most popular cultural centers.
Dining at a jewel of Buenos Aires architecture
The Palacio Libertad is one of the most historically significant buildings in Buenos Aires. With its imposing French Academic-style façade and period details, exploring it is always a great plan. But now, the experience has been taken to the next level (literally).
Mirador Central took advantage of the palace’s highest interior spaces to create a sophisticated atmosphere where historic architecture blends with a modern design. It’s the ideal spot both to surprise someone on a date and to take a tourist who wants to experience the heart of Buenos Aires from a completely different perspective.
Dining and having a drink in a century-old palace
In case you’ve never visited it, the Palacio Libertad was inaugurated in 1928 as the Buenos Aires Post and Telegraph Palace—a Beaux-Arts-style landmark that makes you feel like you’re in Paris every time you walk through downtown. That’s why treating yourself to a drink at the bar in this imposing building after a concert or before catching a movie in its theater is an absolute must-do in Buenos Aires.
Plus, from the heights of this new spot, you’ll have a 360-degree postcard-perfect view of the city that’s hard to beat—where you’ll see, with nothing obstructing your view, some of the most iconic domes in downtown Buenos Aires, the new buildings in Puerto Madero, and the vastness of the Río de la Plata.
Best of all, the experience changes completely depending on the time of day you visit. If you go during the day, you can see the architecture in crystal-clear detail. If you go at night, the lights of Buenos Aires come on, the atmosphere becomes super romantic, and the illuminated city in the background becomes the perfect backdrop for whatever you want to celebrate.
