Each weekend, I am left staggered by Buenos Aires’ magnificent nightlife. The city swells with its plethora of restaurants, bars, clubs, galleries, theatres and live music spots. They pulsate, emitting beats which synthesise, composing the rhythm of the noche porteña.

Hype by name and hyped by nature, there are guaranteed queues outside Kika at its popular Tuesday night party. By a comparatively early 2am, expect to see hordes of North American girls in glittery frocks and high heels elbowing their way to the front of the queue in a less than ladylike fashion. Inside, their outfits are justified, as Kika is a glamorous venue.

The position of sexuality in the Argentine society seems controversial. On the one hand, the country has got the highest rate of Catholics of the whole continent, conservative values are still upheld and religious practices form a part of daily life. On the other hand, porteños are known for their openness towards the subject of telos which mark the inner city of the continent’s gay capital and have an ever-growing clientele.

As I walked along the long hallway into the restaurant, I felt like I was entering into my own jazz-aged, sepia-toned movie. Originally a home built in 1913, a three storey mansion is now the location of Milión, a restaurant and bar that is currently celebrating its tenth anniversary.

Put your money where your mouth is. It’s the ace of spades. Baby I’ve got your money. Diamonds are forever. The odd suave suit, sweet jazz music, high stakes and intriguing spins of the wheel are what await you at Puerto Madero Casino. That’s if you know how to get there.

Do you harbour a secret urge to shake your hips Shakira style on stage? Perhaps you repress a longing to fill a room with Ricky Martin like refrains? Don’t carry on hiding your talent under a bushel. Free your inner diva at Probar, “a karaoke pioneer”, in Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires is a place renowned for its bustling nightlife with lots of bars, clubs and venues dotted all over the city. Palermo is a neighbourhood where you can find something to suit all tastes including Club Aroaz, as you search for your own particular buena onda.

If you think that Peruvian and Japanese cuisine are nothing like one another, well little do you know. Apparently this combination is huge all over the world and Buenos Aires couldn’t be any less.

Just as the Lord warned Adam not to eat the apple, my father warned me to stay away from seedy bars in Argentina. I was reminded of his words within seconds of setting foot outside my Barrio Norte apartment and discovering Argentina’s one and only swingers bar four doors down

Monday nights in Buenos Aires are generally quiet. So what is a poor restless soul to do? The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind. Blowing you all the way down to La Cigale for some live music.
