A polish-style pub in San Telmo

Tipple of choice: Krakow has potentially the best vodka selection in the city thanks to its Polish owners, Tom and Tadeusz, who also stock some great micro brews.

This European-style pub feels somewhat out of place against the traditional cobbled streets of San Telmo, Buenos Aires’ oldest district. A tanguiera it is not, but it does have the best stocked bar in the area, which keeps the crowds happy and friendly, and a Polish vibe that would satisfy the Polish themselves.

Full of backpackers, travellers and locals, they stop by to do some dedicated drinking, or enjoy the downtime playing board games or jumping on the Wii. They also have a large screen projector for movie nights, as well as perfectly fine tapas style bar snacks.
