I’m posting at least semi-regularly on my self-hosted WordPress blog, Every Day in Buenos Aires!

I won’t be updating this one very often.

Night out: La Cigale

In reviews on November 12, 2008 at 2:19 pm

What is it?
A mixed bar/dance club, sort of, with deejays. Expats, locals and tourists. Mostly straight, with a few gay groups.

Where is it?
25 de Mayo 722, at Cordoba, in El Centro.

How is it?
Fun, loud, very social, and your best bet for clubbing on a Tuesday night in BA. Expensive-ish drinks but no cover charge, or entrada libre.

The big question, Would I go back?

Yes, but only with a group of people and some patience. After all, we got as the sun was coming up. But that’s not all that unusual for either hostel life, or BA night life, in general.

Friday night is ElectroShock night, which sounds like fun.
