El Faro
Traditional 1930s cafe.
Café El Faro has occupied the corner of La Pampa and Avenida de los Constituyentes since 1931 and is a classic of the cuadruple frontier between the neighbourhoods of Parque Chas, Villa Urquiza, Villa Pueyrredón and Agronomía.
It maintains the spirit of the 1930s intact, and its walls narrate the story of Buenos Aires' history with photographs of icons like Carlos Gardel, Enrique Santos Discépolo, Amadeo Carrizo, Niní Marshall, Alberto Olmedo, Minguito and Sandro. More recently contemporary tango artists like Chino Laborde and Hernán "Cucuza" Castiello have performed here.
