El Viejo Almacén

This former local store dates back to 1769

El Viejo Almacén is one of the city's most traditional tanguerías.

The building dates back to 1769, to before Argentina's independence from Spain, when it served as a store.

In 1969, singer and composer Edmundo Rivero converted it into a "temple of tango", and many tango greats have since performed on its stage.

The venue hosts a dinner-show every evening, with a menu of Argentine meat and international dishes followed by a performance of almost two hours.
