Paseo del Buen Pastor
Paseo del Buen Pastor is a cultural center/performance space, which was built in 1901 as a combined chapel/monastery/women’s prison. In mid-2007 it was re-inaugurated to showcase work by Córdoba’s young and emerging artists. There are a couple of hip cafe-bars in the central patio area where you can kick back with an Appletini or two. The attached chapel (which has been desanctified) hosts regular live-music performances – stop by for a program, or check Thursday’s edition of the local newspaper La Voz del Interior for details.

La Sala del Rey
Cuarteto music (a Córdoba invention) is predictably big here and played live in many venues. Unfortunately, it’s also the gangsta rap of Argentine folk music and tends to attract undesirable crowds. La Sala del Rey is a respectable venue and the best place to catch a cuarteto show, on Sunday, when the hugely popular band La Barra often plays.

El Sha
Tiled arches, dim lighting, cozy booths, white beanbag chairs and electronica give this mosque-like bar a very chilled feel that's great for lounging. When you're all lounged out, hop around Nueva Córdoba - take a walk down Calle Rondeau between Avs H Yrigoyen and Chacabuco after midnight and choose from dozens of bars.

Cuernavaca
Start on Córdoba's drink of choice, Fernet (a strong, medicinal-tasting herbed liquor from Italy), almost always mixed with Coke. Large, loud and fun, Cuernavaca is the place to go on Wednesday night, when it's so crowded you'll barely be able to move. For breathing room, stop by other nights.

Patio del Tango
On Friday nights, the city hosts the Patio del Tango on the outdoor Patio Mayor of the historic Cabildo (weather permitting), kicking off with two-hour tango lessons. Times vary, so it’s best to stop by the Casa Cabildo Tourist Information Office.

Cineclub Municipal Hugo del Carril
For a great night (or day) at the movies, pop into this municipal film house, which screens everything from art flicks to Latin American award winners and local films. Stop by for a program. There’s also live music and theatrical performances here.

Av Las Heras
Across the river on Av Las Heras between Roque Sáenz Peña and Juan B Justo (the area known locally as Abasto) are the discos and nightclubs. Go for a walk along here and you'll probably pick up free passes to some, if not all, of them.

El Barranco
In the busy Albasto scene, this live-music venue cum disco is a good place to start, if only for the fact that it gets a crowd before 1am. Fridays are Latin dance parties; on Saturdays there are live bands.

Ojo Bizarro
In a semi-dodgy neighborhood, the Bizarro is one of the city’s more bohemian hangouts. There’s plenty of mood lighting, and a different DJ in each of the four rooms.

Los Infernadas
A laid-back bar playing an eclectic range of music. Live music Thursday to Sundays and a big patio cervecero (beer garden) make this a standout.
