The basement taproom under Patio Bellavista where Chilean craft beer gets its biggest stage, more than 60 pours deep.
Kross Bar sits below Patio Bellavista at Dardignac 127, the brewery taproom for Kross, one of the names that built Chilean craft beer. You come here for the range: more than 60 beers across the taps and the bottle list, from the core Golden, Pils, Stout, and Maibock to experimental small runs you will not find bottled in a supermarket.
Tripadvisor readers rate it 4.8 from 1,670 reviews, which makes it one of the most consistently loved rooms in the city. One reviewer called it the best craft beer bar they found in South America by a mile. If you only have one beer stop in Santiago, this is the safe bet that still feels like a find.
The space runs underground in exposed brick and concrete with wooden tables, split into zones that move from open and social near the taps to low lit and cozy at the back, a layout The City Lane's review walks through in detail. Claim a stool at the bar itself if you want tap advice with every round.
It holds the noise of a full Friday surprisingly well. Couples get corners, groups get long tables, and nobody fights the music to talk.
Weekday afternoons belong to the happy hour crowd, with discounted drinks from 15:00 to 18:30. You get the same taps with elbow room, which is the way to taste seriously.
From Thursday night the room fills with a mix of Bellavista locals, students, and travelers working through Patio Bellavista. Arrive before 21:00 on weekends or expect to wait for a table.
