1. Café Berlín
The story of this distinguished space, which brought the Villa Devoto neighborhood into the Buenos Aires music circuit (not just rock), is one of those that are told in reverse. It began with the adventure of three Argentines who decided to take over the old Café Berlín in Madrid, which had ceased to be a meeting point for jazz and flamenco and was struggling with its glorious past and unpromising present.
The experience was successful, and the "entrepreneurs" doubled down. "It's about creating a space where musicians feel comfortable," said Luca Frasca, former keyboardist of Pappo’s Blues and also the soul of the place, before its opening in December 2021. Café Berlín offers a varied menu of wines, sparkling wines, liquors, signature cocktails, whisky, and other spirits, as well as a menu that includes tapas, pizzas, burgers, and empanadas.
