Café de los Angelitos

About

Opened originally in 1890, under the name of “Bar Rivadavia” by the Italian Bautista Fazio, it quickly became a key place in the social life of Porteño at the end of the 19th century. 

Its originally dirt floors were witness to the payada duels of such greats as Gabino Ezeiza, Higuito Cazon and Jose Betinotti.

The Café de los Angelitos offers a 100% tango show of world-class level.

Main living witness of more than one hundred years of porteño history, today, at the forefront of Tango, it travels luxuriously and distinguished with its show a whole epoch… And writes the first page of the next history…

The most outstanding personalities of the political and artistic environment of the 20th century have passed through its doors, and many of the pages that made Buenos Aires a city that breathes tango in every corner were written at its tables.

THE CAFÉ

To talk about Rivadavia and Rincón is to talk about a tango corner, to talk about the Café de los Angelitos, to talk about the morning, noon, afternoon and evening of the most traditional Café in Buenos Aires.

From Monday to Monday, this emblematic meeting place of outstanding national celebrities of culture, politics, sports and arts, is proud to open its doors to receive new visitors.

With a series of 350 specially selected photographs hanging on its walls, a balcony where, at certain times of the day, a large live bandoneon can be played, and a moderate and elegant decoration, it will recreate the atmosphere and ambiance of the 20th century for visitors.

Every night 21 artists on stage invite you to share a unique evening.
