Salón 1923 (Microcentro) – 16th Floor
This bar operates on the rooftop of the legendary Palacio Barolo, from where you can see a stunning panoramic view of the Congreso Nacional and, at the same time, one of the most European profiles of the city, which is Avenida de Mayo. Located on the 16th floor, it is also a spectacle to contemplate the dome of the building itself, one of the great jewells of Buenos Aires architecture, inaugurated in 1923 and inspired by Dante's “Divine Comedy”, with a strong presence of Masonic symbology. If you add to this a cocktail in your hand and a list of jazz that usually plays here, the moment is perfect.
