Milión
Never partied in a mansion? Here's your chance. With superb art, a living-room DJ and three floors of converted rooms, Milión is a nighttime Never Never Land. Feast on nouvelle Argentine cuisine in the dining room, chill out on the terrace, explore the 'bedrooms' or follow the giant marble staircase to the gardens out back.

Mundo Bizarro
With its vibrant red walls and retro 1950s American diner vibe, Mundo Bizarro has been a Palermo institution for some ten years, even managing to pull off a move to a new location, and taking its music and film industry clientele with it. A great late night drinking spot, the DJs are good, the music is fun, and the cocktails are great.

Museum
Set in a splendid grey-steel building designed by Gustave Eiffel, you'd be forgiven for thinking this club was a museum. The interior is just as stunning and the sound and lighting is very slick. Midweek sees the suited after-work crowd loosening their ties, while weekends see a more relaxed but well-dressed set hitting the dance floor for good house music and well-known DJs.

Pride Café
This groovy cafe-bar serves up some of the best 'queer coffee' to a mostly gay crowd, along with great sandwiches and snack foods. The vibe is very laidback, although it gets packed on weekends, when it can be hard to get a table.
-
Sitges
This big brick-walled space with its funky chandeliers and blue-glowing bar has a great vibe, especially on a weekend when it's packed with gay and lesbian clubbers who come here before moving on to Glam. On Wednesday there's an amusing drag show.

Soul Café & Supersoul
These 1970s-style sister-bars next door to each other are both so groovy it's very hard to choose between them. We like Soul Café for its kitsch hanging dice lamps, stylish white seats, and the good sushi. But we love Supersoul for its curvy red walls, red wooden booths, hanging disc 'curtains,' and long mirror that's perfect for people-watching. Why choose? Just allow enough time to enjoy the pleasure of both.

Unna
This is one of BA's oldest girl-only lesbian clubs and its devoted fans think it's the best. The womblike basement venue gets hot and sweaty and the dance music is eclectic, ranging from electrónica to salsa.
-
White Bar
We don't generally like lobby bars at fivestar hotels, but the Hotel Madero is very chic and we love this long white bar with funky white plastic stools. This is an ideal drop-in spot for a pre-dinner cocktail on your way to Faena Hotel or Asia de Cuba.
-
Youkali
This big, bright, white bar at the whimsical Youkali hotel is a wonderful place for a drink any time of day. In the afternoon you can sit in the sunshine by one of the enormous windows or at night prop yourself up at the bar for a fabulous cocktail. Try a pisco-based Peruvian Lips - they're addictive! Every evening there's a happy hour from - and the places buzzes Tuesday nights when the DJs spin.
