Reviews
I had such a unique and wonderful experience here. An incredible guitar player - Hernan if I remember correctly - just killed it on an eight string acoustic. Meanwhile - a remarkable artist - Max (I think I got that name right too) - sketched and painted both to the time of the music and the composition’s theme. When the song was over - the visual art had to stop. The audience could watch the visual art emerge as his hands and work were projected onto a screen via an overhead camera. Just fantastic. We don’t have this in the USA - or if we do, I ain’t seen nothing like it. The place was packed with the most wonderful people. The wine was flowing. The owner and people who work there were so incredibly gracious and welcoming. I’ll never forget this night.
If you are looking for a cozy atmosphere, excellent dishes, and the best performers, this is your place in San Telmo. Estefanía, thank you so much for your warm attention!
The best spot in BSAS to watch fantastic food, watch the best talent in the city, all while in a small, quaint environment. Reminds me of my favorite places in NYC to enjoy live music. Plus, the staff speaks English too!
Went in for a drink after the theatre across the road, The Jury, the play was great fun. They had a Cuban singer playing. Extra treat as we didn't know about the concert. Really nice atmosphere and music.
