The short answer
8 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
Buenos Aires turned to craft beer fast over the past decade, and the city now rivals its wine list for variety. The eight below run from the brewpub that started it all in Recoleta to the homegrown chains that brought local IPAs to every barrio. Most cluster in Palermo and San Telmo, and most pour cheaply by world standards. Happy hour is the local ritual.
On Tap opened its first bar in 2015 and now runs six locations across Buenos Aires, built around 20-plus rotating taps of Argentine microbreweries. The pours range from IPAs to Belgian dark ales and stouts, and the prices stay among the city's most affordable. The Palermo and Belgrano rooms draw a young, local crowd. Order a flight to sample the small breweries. Best early evening before the after-office rush.
Full listing & hours →Antares started in Mar del Plata and grew into Argentina's largest craft chain, with a Palermo Soho brew pub and outposts across the city. Around eight house beers pour at once, from the Honey to the Barley Wine, alongside the brewer's rotating picks. The rooms open at 6pm and fill fast at happy hour. Order the Scotch ale with a picada. Best as a reliable first stop on a Palermo crawl.
Full listing & hours →Buller is Buenos Aires' first brewery, pouring six beers brewed on-site at its industrial Recoleta room across from the cemetery since 1999. The stout, IPA, Hefeweizen and honey beer come with a big snack and sandwich menu and a patio out front. A second location runs in Villa Crespo. Order the honey beer on the terrace. Best in the afternoon after walking the Recoleta cemetery next door.
Full listing & hours →Strange Brewing is a Norwegian-Argentine brewpub with an adventurous tap list of hoppy, funky and sour beers and creative bar food. The original sits in Colegiales on Delgado, with a second room opened in Chacarita in 2024. The beers change constantly and lean experimental. Order whatever sour or hazy is freshest and a plate to share. Best for drinkers who want the city's most unusual pours.
Full listing & hours →Jerome brought Mendoza's mountain beer to Buenos Aires, the first franchise outside the province for a brewery the Maccari family started in 1985. The Palermo corner room on Malabia pours its lineup at accessible prices, with a free second beer between 6 and 9pm. It is named for a German shepherd who kept the brewer company. Order the Scotch or the IPA. Best at happy hour.
Breoghan is San Telmo's craft beer refuge, a rustic room on Bolívar with wine-barrel tables, exposed brick and the brewing kit in plain sight. The house beers pour cheap and well, alongside burgers, wraps and the bar's famous Breoghan potatoes. Happy hour runs 6 to 10pm. Order a house pint and the potatoes. Best late, since it stays open past 2am and to 4am on weekends.
The Temple Bar opened in the microcentro in 1999 as an Irish-style brewery and grew into one of Argentina's biggest craft chains, now more than twenty locations. The house Temple Beer is the signature, but the Wolf IPA is the crowd favorite. The rooms run loud and social, more pub than tasting bar. Order a Wolf IPA with a burger. Best with a group on a weekend night.
Full listing & hours →Baum is a Mar del Plata brewery that began in 2009 and now runs more than twenty franchises nationwide, with a German name meaning tree and a Mexican partner whose touch shows in the menu. Nine fixed styles pour alongside rotating specials. The rooms are casual and food-friendly. Order a flight to taste across the range. Best for a relaxed dinner-and-beer night rather than a quiet tasting.
