The New Brighton on Postcard

"A Classy Downtown Happy Hour There's a certain formality to the New Brighton: an elegantly dressed attendant opens the door for you, a gentleman in a tuxedo plays the baby grand in the back, the wood bar has been polished so much that you can practically see your own reflection in the grain. Maybe that's why this classic downtown cafe - another of the city's bares notables (notable historic bars) mostly attracts a distinguished older set. Nevermind - it's part of the ambiance. You can seek out a more youthful crowd later. Come to the New Brighton for a late happy hour or a pre-theater cocktail - served with a complimentary tray of small delicacies - and breathe in the old-world Buenos Aires atmosphere."

Love this place, 5 of us arrived without a reservation and I'm so glad they were able to find a table for us. The food was excellent as it was the service. Highly recommend this place. Half of a portion is recommended as the plates are generous.

What an experience!! My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant looking for somewhere for dinner. I am absolutely blown away with the service and live performance . Every member of the staff was very patient and kind. We are American so we speak very little Spanish thus had to rely on our dialog app and everyone made us feel welcomed. The hostess- I think her name was nue was very kind and guided us to our table right near center stage. Our server Andre’s was able to guide us in English and basically picked our entrees for us. The food was INCREDIBLE, phenomenal recommendations. Andres also helped us pick a wonderful wine to pair. The performance was…. AMAZING. I hate that I didn’t get the name of the singer or the band members but they are all so talented!! The singer I swear is related to frank Sinatra . Beautiful voice! All and all my husband and I had the best night of our whole trip. We will be back . Gracias!!! 💓

Service was fantastic, food was exquisite! The atmosphere with the piano gave it an extra flare if we visit Buenos Aires again we'll be sure to come back. Still thinking about the pumpkin ravioli 🤩

Good place with ordinary food. Steaks are much less that you would expect. Good wine selection, reasonable prices. But food could be better. Carpaccio is improperly sliced, steaks are a bit overcooked and not fermented. Good service at the same time

The chorizo steak with stuffed baked potato was great. The service was great and the servers could understand English. The piano was a nice touch to dinning experience.

I was walking around the city centre and this place caught my attention by its beauty. The New Brighton is absolutely beautiful inside and mentally took me Paris with so much wood, the lampshades, waitresses dressing very formal. We have been there twice. Last time we had steak with vegetables. The portions are generous, the wine list is big and prices are excellent, the atmosphere is relaxing and I would go back there more times if I could

we came on a wednesday evening and were seated right away even without previous booking. the interior is gorgeous and the service was great (though it took a while until the food was served). we weren’t very hungry and ordered salads and then desserts, in general food was averagely good, portions were abundant. bar menu is vast and classic, cocktails were okay . for 3 salads, 3 deserts and 3 drinks we paid ~100 000 pesos, which is a lot, but the vibe of the place and the live piano music made the experience really pleasant.

Loved my experience at this restaurant! I had the costillas a la riojana and it was delicious. At first I had doubts that this restaurant might be all show with no substance, but the food alone makes this a great place to eat at. The ambiance only made it better. I came on a quiet rainy night and there weren’t too many people there. With the decor and the wonderful piano player, it felt like I was transported back to Buenos Aires during la belle epoque. Prices were very reasonable for the quantity and quality of food I received.
