Buenos Aires Post Pride Parade Parties

All of the gay bars and clubs in Buenos Aires are busy once the main parade ends, and while this year, with restrictions things may look a little different, here’s our top choice of where to party in Buenos Aires any time of the year.

Stay in Palermo, the city’s gay epicentre and close to all the gay events, bars and restaurants.  Be advised, do not expect the party to start before 12 at night, Buenos Aires people like to party very late.

• Sitges Buenos Aires  – An iconic gay bar with great drag shows, sexy gogos and great cocktails. Open from Wednesday to Sunday from 11pm.
• Pride Cafe, Buenos Aires – A meeting place for artists, chosen by the gay public. Saturdays and Sundays is a must. Outdoor tables, shows and fun atmosphere
• Tango Queer Milonga – Tango Queer: offers classes every Tuesday and Thursday starting at 8:30 pm On Tuesdays it takes place at the Maldita Milonga de San Telmo and on Thursdays at the Escuela Argentina del Tango at the Centro Cultural Borges de la Recoleta

It is unlikely that clubs will be allowed to open given current restrictions, however when we do we recommend you visit:

• Glam Disco –  Party with cute guys between 20 and 30 years old. One of the most popular clubs with a unique mix of international electronic music with Latin pop. 2 atmospheres, so you can choose the one you like the most.
• Amerika – One of the largest gay clubs in Latin America, on a good night nearly 2,000 people come in. It has three dance floors with different types of music. Amerika is open Thursday through Sunday.

History of Buenos Aires Pride

The first march in 1992, led by Carlos Jáuregui, attracted 300 people, many wearing masks to conceal their identity. More than twenty five years later, Buenos Aires has become the LGBT destination of choice in Latin America and the annual Orgullo (pride) parade attracts more than 100,000 people from all over the world.

The city’s open-mindedness and cosmopolitan culture, together with Argentina’s pioneering equal marriage and gender identity laws have established Buenos Aires as the top destination for LGBT tourism in Latin America, and November is a great month to visit with the Asterisco film festival and the Queer Tango Festival also taking place in the city.
