Lonely Planet review

Operating since 1864, El Federal is our favorite San Telmo bar. It's partly to do with the atmospheric old wooden interior, with its long wooden bar, lowered floor, decorative arch and antique cash register; but mostly it's the buzzy vibe when its cozy rooms fill with locals. Order a bottle of red and a big wooden breadboard of picadas (the Argentine version of antipasto) and settle in for the night.
