What to do this week in Buenos Aires

January has already begun, but the holidays aren’t over yet. This Monday and Tuesday, Las Medialunas del Abuelo will be featuring an artisanal Rosca de Reyes in its display cases to keep the tradition alive—and take it up a notch. Sourdough, extra-fine flour, eggs, milk, and honey come together in a soft, fluffy, beautifully aromatic rosca, the kind you can tell was made with time and care.

Antares kicks off summer 2026 with a bold move, opening in Luján its first venue of a new era. A space that slows things down without losing personality: lighter beers, non-alcoholic and gluten-free options, signature cocktails, and a completely renewed design. The idea is clear—adapt to new habits, add freshness, and refocus on enjoyment, without excess or complications.

The new Antares invites guests to rediscover the ritual of getting together: after-office drinks, long late afternoons, or nights out with friends. With a more refined food menu, signature cocktails created by Tato Giovannoni, and a warm, modern atmosphere designed by Eme Carranza, the plan feels complete.

The details: Happy hour from Tuesday to Sunday, 6–8 pm.

Where: Alsina 1189, Luján.
