Bars and Nightlife

The dramatic landscapes of Patagonia might not be the first image that comes up when picturing a night out, but still, nightlife can be lively within this massive region. Enjoy the area’s fantastic wine and take advantage of the beautiful landscapes to enjoy a beverage or meal outside in the long evenings.

If you are visiting in the winter, embrace the cold with a visit to an ice bar, drinking establishments made entirely out of ice harvested from local glaciers. Take the feeling of visiting a glacier beyond just the Perito Moreno, and check out Glaciobar in El Calafate for a chilly and unique drinking experience. 

If you’re looking for a younger scene and to dance the night away, stop in at El Nautico in Ushuaia. This disco club is a rare place in Patagonia to stay out all night and enjoy the varying DJs or musicians, as well as rotating specialty nights. 

For a beautiful beer garden located among forests and fields, stop in at Patagonia Brewery in Bariloche. This spot is perfect for a summer evening with friends to revel in the natural beauty and serenity of the area while enjoying a pint. 

For an experience that capitalizes on all the amazing products coming from Patagonia’s wine region, be sure to stop at a wine shop or bar. These spots might offer local tastings or a place to cozy up with friends and sip. Check out La Tienda de Vinos in El Calafate for a lovely time in the shop. 

Shackleton Solo in El Calafate offers cocktails and a view at this sweet spot to enjoy an evening. Its nightly lineup might also include live music, creating an atmosphere that you’ll want to bring home with you!
