    Separated from its sister neighbourhood by the railway tracks, this area is famous for its dense concentration of incredible restaurants and high energy mega clubs.

Television studios and production companies based here during the day give the area its nickname and a touch of media glamour. It is the go to destination for serious clubbers looking to dance all night.

    VIBE

    The energy here ramps up dramatically after midnight, transitioning from gourmet dining to intense clubbing. Massive electronic music venues feature international DJs and state of the art sound systems. It is loud, unapologetically late night, and entirely focused on dancing until sunrise.

  • San Telmo

    Steeped in history, this district offers a brilliantly gritty and authentic alternative to the polished venues of the north. Its narrow, dimly lit streets hide historic cafes, underground indie rock venues, and sweaty, passionate tango halls. The nightlife here feels raw, bohemian, and intensely local, attracting artists, musicians, and curious backpackers. Drinking cheap beer on the pavement outside a dive bar is just as common as sipping red wine in a beautifully decaying colonial courtyard. It is the perfect destination for those seeking an unpretentious, culturally rich night out.

    VIBE

    It feels delightfully raw, authentic, and steeped in bohemian history. Historic bars with peeling paint host passionate tango sessions and gritty live rock bands. The crowd is wonderfully diverse, creating an unpretentious and intensely local partying experience.
