BAR SUR Tango Show

Una Noche Fantastica . The experience was incredible. The staff, musicians, dancers, and singers are expert. It was involving, emotional, joyous and a night to always remember. Thank you!

Bar Sur is the true Tango experience we were looking for. The music, dancing and singing were excellent. It’s intimate and oozes with charm, and the minute you step inside, you feel like you’ve walked into 1930’s Argentina. I highly recommend it.

I am not quite happy with the 2x price of the food and drinks add to the entrance fee but considering the service and the atmosphere they could offer, the amazing show presented by all the artists, I guess the only way to keep the place running even after pandemic and inflation is to get the price higher and higher. I was quite lucky that the owner visited the place that day I went. I do enjoy every historical detail of the place and the performance. You can feel they coordinated and choreographed the performance with meanings in it. (I like the entering scene and hope the ending will correspond to it somehow) Anyway, I am glad I do it in my last few days in Argentina.

Intense tango performance with live music. Came to this bar because of Happy Together by Wong Kar Wai was filmed here. To our surprise, the show was very good and exceed my expectations:) Service was attentive as the number of audience was kept to a small group.

Bar Sur featured on Anthony Bourdain's episode on Buenos Aires in 2018 which is a must see and available on YouTube was why I came here and is probably what I will remember the most about my time in this great city. If you want to see authentic tango in the right setting (10 minutes from La Boca the port for that is where tango came from) support this institution of historical importance and do not get blindsided by the bigger shows.

I had the most incredible time at Bar Sur during my first tango show. The atmosphere was intimate, with a small audience that made it feel personal and immersive. The dancers were mesmerizing, pulling me into the world of tango with their slick, passionate moves. The live musicians were equally captivating, playing traditional Argentine tunes that filled the room with energy. For a first-timer, I was enthralled from start to finish. It wasn’t just a performance—it felt like being part of something timeless and authentic. A truly unforgettable experience! One of best nights of my life !

Attending a tango show at Bar Sur was nothing short of magical—a truly unforgettable experience. Nestled in the heart of San Telmo, this intimate venue combines history, passion, and artistry to deliver an authentic slice of Buenos Aires culture. From the moment we stepped inside, the ambiance transported us to a bygone era. The warm lighting, vintage decor, and cozy seating created the perfect setting for a night of tango. The performers, a masterful mix of dancers, singers, and musicians, exuded passion and precision. Every step and note told a story, drawing the audience into the soulful rhythm of Argentina’s beloved dance. The live orchestra was exceptional, seamlessly blending traditional tango melodies with electrifying modern interpretations. The dancers were mesmerizing, their movements a perfect combination of elegance and intensity. Their intricate footwork and dramatic expressions showcased not only their immense skill but also the deep emotions behind each performance. What truly set Bar Sur apart was its intimacy. The small stage allowed us to feel like part of the performance, creating a connection that larger venues often lack. Bar Sur delivered a captivating evening of artistry, culture, and charm. We left with hearts full of tango's magic—a must-visit for anyone in Buenos Aires!

Great show, we highly recommend it. Talented dancers and singers, you don’t want the show to end! The bar is in a historic setting; magical, intimate atmosphere… You sit very close to dancers to savour every movement. We are glad we chose Bar Sur!
