Bar 6, Buenos Aires: 5 reviews and 2 photos

  good for the crowd, not the food

The only thing that makes this place special is the crowd of people that hang out there. This is like a Starbuck's cafe in the U.S. where people plop themselves down and study, or lounge and chat with friends. Bar 6 even has a magazine and book rack at the front entrance for your reading pleasure. The crowd here is classic Palermo Soho--young and bohemian.

I went at like 4 in the afternoon when most other places aren't even busy and coulnd't even find a table. So I sat at the bar.

With a huge curved Scandinavian ceiling, cement and brick walls, and velvet couches around the main dining area, the amiance makes you expect some good food.

So I looked at the large chalkboard specials at the front of the restaurant and ordered a "salad". It came with eggs and home fries and was awful. I would never recommend it to anyone. The coffee was good, so I'd leave my future visits to fine tuning your relaxation mood during day visits to Palermo Soho and Plaza Palermo Viejo.

Overall, fun crowd, good ambiance, bad food.

Favorite Dish: Nothing, I will never go back for food here.
